# Tightly wound elastic bands can unwind themselves
Could a heaped teaspoon unheap itself? Would it be heaping or unheaping in this example? I'm tired and confused.

# does a spoonfilling only go to the rim of the spoon or does the sugar get heaped on top?

# To the rim is "a level teaspoon". Less than the rim is "a measly teaspoon".
If you pile the sugar into a mini-tower on the teaspoon, it's "a TOWERING INFERNO teaspoon".
