dust bunny
Definition: A pile of dust on the floor, usually under a couch or in a corner; a collection of dry particulate matter that resembles a small living creature.
Example: 1) I cleaned my room today, and there must have been a dozen dust bunnies under my bed.
Etymology: When little piles of dust turn into big piles of dust, they start to resemble small rabbits (or 'bunnies', from 'bunny rabbit'). And like rabbits, dust seems to reproduce (grow) very quickly.
