In a post shared recently on his Instagram feed, actor Jake Silbermann provided what could be the most useful definition of ‘Brexiting.’
It read as follows:
BREXITING (verb)
Two stories to keep beside you
Word of the Week – Autolatry
Susie Dent’s choice of ‘autolatry’ as her ‘word of the day’ was most appropriate; it sums up both Boris Johnson and Ghislaine Maxwell perfectly.
Word of the Week: Panjandrum
Words worth using Our new weekly feature is a ‘Word of the Week’. Our first selection is “panjandrum”.
/brekziting/
Meaning: Telling everyone at the party that you are leaving, but actually staying.
Example: Theresa is at the party, brexiting near the fridge for over an hour now.
Silbermann then asked: “Also, is this the inverse or opposite of an ‘Irish goodbye’? whilst elsewhere the Urban Dictionary offers a series of alternative examples. They include: “The act of ceasing an activity so you can cut off your nose to spite your face” and “Telling your partner you will pull out before ejaculating during sex and then changing your mind at the last minute.”
