Discuss fungible here.

adjective

1) Civil Law: A thing of such a nature as that it may be replaced by another of equal quantity and quality.

“Grain and coin are fungibles, because one guinea, or one bushel or boll of sufficient merchantable wheat, precisely supplies the place of another.” - Erskine

2) Scots Law: A term used to denote movable goods which may be valued by weight or measure, as grain or money; in contradistinction to those which may be judged of individually.

[Latin fungibilis; from fungor = to perform.]

Not having time to clean is no excuse for the fungible thingies growing in the veggie bin of the ‘fridge.
