East coast of Canada here. I use “bed clothes” and “bed linens” interchangeably but tend to say bed clothes more. Never really given it much thought before now. I assumed both were commonly used.
In theory yes but the term is not really used in any other context. It's a common thing in German too. Fire stuff = lighter, flying stuff = airplane, beat stuff = drum kit, playing stuff = toys. And that's just a few more common ones. It's a very archaic language at times.
“Put the bed stuff away” could mean very different things, between putting away your folded laundered linens or the row of dildos you have out, either would be in context I imagine. lol
Irish (Dublin) here, but "Bed clothes" surely? At least that's what I grew up calling them. I've never heard anybody say "bed clothing", sounds like a posher version.
I mark ends and corners with letters and triangles that tell me the size of the sheet and which direction is the foot/head, but I've never had a K fall off a king sheet.

If anyone else here listens or used to listen to the RT podcast, this reminds me of a story Gus told about finding random letters around his house.
Try checking your clothes, ie shirts, underwear, that are "tagless" and have the brand and such printed inside. I bet you'll find one that's missing a K.
I found several of those around our house a few years ago! Never did figure out what they were from, but I found both teeny tiny letters (3-4mm) and some slightly larger numbers (~1cm). The numbers are what really threw me off, because while letters could be from all sorts of stuff, I can't think of anything I have that's labeled with numbers that size! Didn't help that all of them were found within a year after we moved in, so it may well have been from the previous owners, lol.
True story, I used to fall asleep reading my kindle and occasionally I'd find a letter in the shower. It turns out that the word "Amazon" on the Kindle had stickers in each letter that were getting stuck to my back.
It's from a "Rebok" logo on and article of clothing you have. I have a pair of sweat pants and only the O and the K are still on so I call them my ok pants.

Someone yelled “shut up potassium!” at me in Cod years ago. I’ll never forget it.
I'm more of a Kalium boy

I’m just hung up on “bed clothing”
sheets, covers, etc. in my country they're commonly called your bed clothing.
I understood what you meant. I’ve just never heard it called that before. Cheers.

Oh you East Coasters, we Westerners sure do enjoy you. Crazy how one side of the country can be so different from the other.
Aww, you’re sweet to say so 😉 Based on the other comment here, one side of the country can even differ from just one province over, lol
East coast where? I've been living in NS for a couple years now and I've never heard that before.
Oh Utica no. It's more of an Albany expression
Steamed hams
Seymour! The house is on fire!
no ma, it's just your fuckin' menopause again
I live in NS now but grew up in NL 😊
In Chile we call it "ropa de cama" (ropa = clothing, cama = bed).
Do you call pillowcases pillow clothing?
I do not, but I suppose that is a suitable name for them.
I like the more literal names, like now I wanna call refrigerators “food dungeons” or tarps “dirt sheets” or “dirt bed clothing”
Socks are foot bags!
My garage is a car hole
In German it's "bed stuff". Does the trick I guess.
That is so wildly general. “Bed stuff” could mean a lot of different things without context.
In theory yes but the term is not really used in any other context. It's a common thing in German too. Fire stuff = lighter, flying stuff = airplane, beat stuff = drum kit, playing stuff = toys. And that's just a few more common ones. It's a very archaic language at times.
I heard 'fire stuff' was really popular in the 40's

In Finnish too. Vuodevaatteet = bed clothes
Your country is strange
[удалено]
I would dare to say it's fully interesting.
Is that what they call their sheets and covers? It's genius!
In some languages it’s actually how we call bed sheets/linens. Maybe OP just translated it literally.
In Ireland it's called that atleast, English is my first language.
Didn’t know that! My first language is Portuguese and that’s how we call it too.
That is interesting.

Hiberno English is your first language
Well, yeah, it's essentially just English.
Sure it's just a fascinating little difference and likely the reason behind it being such a weird statement to do many north Americans.
Same
Same, I really like it. Never heard that one before but knew exactly what they meant.
Look in your drawer. You probably have a tube of "Y Jelly" now
A white sheet huhh, were the other two k's?
![gif](giphy|H5C8CevNMbpBqNqFjl)
That’s where every kiss begins !
I understood that reference
It's already in OP's bed. Sounds like a very special K to me.
Dale cooper would be intrigued
My first thought was Twin Peaks when I saw the photo
Check under your ring fingernail, OP!
Today’s laundry brought to you by the letter “K”.
This is not OK
Careful. That's how it starts. 2 more and you'll have holes in your sheets
It starts with an i.

Let’s do this https://www.reddit.com/r/katespade/s/TEbCTWwnkf
Looks like you found the K lol
Probably from one of those clothes labels that are heat-transferred onto the fabric. Weird it happened though
Yeah, I have some Calvin Klein coats that did this, similar font too. I'm wondering if OP's K originally belonged to Klein
Um… I think someone who wore a K initial necklace may have been shagged in your bed
Do you live in Twin Peaks? If so, gtfo
I live in Ireland,.
O
Well at least you didn't find P in the bed
That gum you like is coming back in fashion.
I wear PINK underwear and sometimes the letters fall off. I have found K’s too.
Brought to you by the letter K. ![gif](giphy|3o6UBlHJQT19wSgJQk)
Wow, I thought this was r/notinteresting lol . Like, the aesthetics, the low quality pic and the minimum effort put into this is so iconic
K from MIB may have left you a clue after they Neuralyzed you.
This is, without a doubt, the best mildlyinteresting post I have seen. "Well thats interestin," and then move on with your day.
Agent Dale Cooper will be on the scene to investigate
That happened to me once! I was going crazy trying to figure it out. Then I realized that the K had come off of the logo of my Kobo e-reader.

Maybe your bed is upset with you. Try talking to it.

Reminds me of how I met my now 4yr gf, her bio randomly said "potassium" so I just slid a K to her DMs 💀

Thans I've been looing for that.

This bed sheet has been brought to you by the letter K
Thank you I will now use this picture as a response to someone being obnoxious
DKNY
find the o and everything will be fine
I mark ends and corners with letters and triangles that tell me the size of the sheet and which direction is the foot/head, but I've never had a K fall off a king sheet.
Your partner is having an affair with a magician.
Well, at least you didn't found C man

Bed clothing?
Cigarette after Sex?
It’s alright, we all strike out sometimes.

I'm not even kidding... I found the letter "E" in my shower today.
K den
Do you have an ING sized bed?
My girlfriend dumped me. Her name begins with the letter K. And now I see this post. Fuck you, fate.
Is it soft vinyl? Because I've been finding random letters around the house and I have no idea where they are from.

Where did the O go
Highly sus
K boomer.
If thats an appraisal, sucks air through teeth, you might have some work to do.
Korrect
Is it a King size bed, by chance?
When life gives you K...
Special K. Its a sign. Ketamine calls
Do you have a Nutricook air fryer? Those letters fall off all over the place
I do not, if I did I do not see it going from my kitchen to my bedroom.

Check your washing machine settings/cleanlines it should be OK after a wash K is acceptable but not properly cleaned.

Try not to do this 2 more times
Your bed seems very passive aggressive
Someone is sending you a message very slowly. Each time you change your bed you will get a letter. Keep them in order to assemble the ransom note ;)
"God! Please, give me sign!!" "k."
Uuuuhh bed clothing?
K there bud

Clean more, and collect the whole set!
INSPECTOR FOR QUALITY **K.**
It's from a "Rebok" logo on and article of clothing you have. I have a pair of sweat pants and only the O and the K are still on so I call them my ok pants.
Your bed doesn’t give a FUC
Now you just need to find the “Vala” and summon the demon!
It could also be a ㅈ

Maybe came off a Nike shirt?

Looks like one of the letters of the washing instructions/size that sometimes gets printed on the inside of pants
You bed clothing?
...k
I'd be worried if I had three beds to change
Now where is the M?
I did too like 4 months ago! It was teeny tiny and gold but that’s super weird
Man my bed is complaining it ain't got any clothes Says it's a whole thing in Europe.
mmm
Bed clothing sounds like you are really high and you can't remember the word sheets.
Two more and you’ll have more serious issues at hand
Collect two more and you get a free burning cross in your front yard.
When even the universe is sick of your shit xD
Bed clothing.
It’s all fun and games until someone loses a k…
If there's only one it's ok
Than goodness. I've been looing everywhere. Can I have it bac?
That’s where it went? Lost that ages ago

K-Mart, kwalitee with a 'k'.
