USAGE

Charlie Gibson and George Stephaopoulos Fibdebrillianated that debate so badly last night that I needed a triple-espresso and a couple chapters of Derrida just to get back to normal afterwards! Etymology: from "fibrillation," rapid uncoordinated twitching movements that replace the normal rhythmic contraction of the heart and may cause a lack of circulation and pulse (dictionary.com), which is what creating such a debate does to the American electoral body, and "fib," or "lie," which is something such a debate is prone to create, also the prefix "de-," meaning "to make something not," and brillianate, from "brilliant;" thus, "to make less or not brilliant," which is also what creating such a debate does to the American mind and the state of American politics.
