McAvoy (verb)
1. To "McAvoy" someone is to bully or belittle someone within your peer group or staff in a professional news-gathering organization using superior wit & argumentative skill to accomplish your own, self-inflated goals.
2. To be McAvoy'd is to work in production and content-based journalism somewhere on the east coast.
3. Being McAvoy'd is usually followed by drinking in a cheesy bar, self-loathing with other journalists about low pay, self-esteem issues and lamenting why your father didn't play catch with you more often when you were 12.
4. The term is most often used by a pair of reporters at a daily newspaper in Annapolis, Maryland in deference to the HBO show Newsroom and the sharp-tongued character Will McAvoy (played by Jeff Daniels).

Editor: "It's 9:15. We have a 10:00 deadline. You get that story to me by 9:45 — don't make me McAvoy you!"
Reporter (picking up the phone): "Shit. This guy better answer his phone..."

A madly talented underrated Hollywood star and a Scottish lad whom not only tricks you into thinking he’s English but he dedicates himself to his strong streak of playing dying film characters. You may have heard his name in the everyday phrase ‘JAMES MCAVOY DESERVES AN OSCAR!!1!1!’ but sadly, his Oscar shelf remains empty. From playing roles from the famous Narnian Faun to the telepathic Professor, he is what we call a gifted, acting legend. Hairavoy or Baldavoy will never change the fact that he is a ‘A walking dick joke’. It’s notable that James McAvoy is the Guiness World Record winner of having the world’s shortest Instagram livestreams because don’t let his handsome looks fool you, he is a real grandpa with technology.
Ryn: omg you really don’t know how to work Instagram, do you?
Tam: aye I’m a bit of a James McAvoy innit
