wurtzel

After the writer Elizabeth Wurtzel, author of Prozac Nation. Denotes someone whiny and spoiled, or someone whose self-indulgent writing is badly in need of editing.

"Did you hear her complaining about how hard her life was at Harvard? God, she's such a Wurtzel."

"I'm going to Wurtzel up my memoir -- it'll be a bestseller."
