To sheen (verb) - to perform an action that people would generally consider bad while wanting to convince everyone else, and often yourself, the action was a great thing.
The word comes from the standard practices of the celebrity Charlie Sheen. His ability to convince himself that the downward spiral of his life is living life well, and his attempt to make others believe that the downward movement of his life is really a good thing is the inspiration of the word.
