antwerking

Definition

A niche portmanteau describing aggressive antiquing—the furniture refinishing technique—while blasting Miley Cyrus, presumably because sanding down old cabinets demands an aggressive soundtrack. Either hilarious, deeply specific, or both.

Example Usage

She spent Saturday antwerking to 'Wrecking Ball' while refinishing her grandmother's dresser.
