You Might be a Sheenius!
My facebook friend Mary K. (Mimi) Parker responded to my call to use the word Sheen as a verb with the term Sheenius. A Sheenius of course is a person who does something that the recently newsworthy Charlie Sheen may do. Lifting a half of a line from comedian Jeff Foxworthy I have come up with the following examples of Sheenius along with this makeshift definition.
Sheenius: A person who has a sense of grandiosity combined with denial in a way that one does not have to be a genius to recognize. Ex: “a person who claims to have tiger blood and Adonis DNAâ€
“If you are 5 feet tall and can’t jump yet you proclaim to the world that you will be an NBA star then you might be a Sheenius.”
“If you can’t add 2+2 but tell everyone you know that you will be accepted to the MIT College of Engineering, you might be a Sheenius.”
“If you claim that you can slam 8 shots of tequila in an hour and still pass a breathalyzer test then you might be a Sheenius.”
“If you think that spending $80 for an item you do not need that is on sale from its $100 regular price actually constitutes saving money then you might be a Sheenius.”
“If you make an argument that smoking is good for you and that second hand smoke will make hair grow on the head of a bald man then you might be a Sheenius.”
Please add to this list at will. Let’s make this go viral.
