Why is a list of things called a Laundry List? Shouldn't it be called a grocery list? I don't list out my laundry before I clean it but I do list out what I'm shopping for.

That's a very good point. But this is coming from the girl who almost bought a notepad emblazoned "My lovely list of lists."

Maybe it is called a laundry list because you "clean off" each thing as you do it. I don't recall the name "laundry list" applied to a "to do" list.
