Definitions
A casual, slightly playful shorthand for the glove compartment — that dashboard cubby where drivers stash everything from registration docs and napkins to mystery pens and forgotten receipts. The kind of word you'd hear from someone who's clearly comfortable enough to nickname their car's anatomy. Mostly informal, it has that easy familiarity of a term shared among people who spend a lot of time on the road together.
Check the glovey for the parking permit — I think I tossed it in there last week.
