What is a "pigeonhole"?
A pigeonhole is a small, open compartment or shelf, often part of a larger piece of furniture, used to store or organize items such as letters, documents, or small personal belongings. Pigeonholes are commonly found in offices, libraries, or mailrooms, where they help separate and sort items in a neat and accessible way. The compartments are typically arranged in rows or columns, allowing for easy identification and retrieval of stored items. Pigeonholes are designed to keep things organized and prevent clutter.
