phrase
Bermuda Triangle
A place where things mysteriously disappear.
Origin
An area of the western Atlantic, roughly bounded by Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico, popularized in a 1964 article and Charles Berlitz's 1974 bestseller as the site of unexplained ship and aircraft disappearances. Subsequent investigations attribute the supposed pattern to ordinary maritime statistics, weather, and confirmation bias. The legend has outlasted the debunking.
Modern usage
Used jokingly for the desk drawer where socks vanish, the inbox where emails go to die, the section of the house where the keys are always missing.
