Etymology: From the Saturday Night Live character Debbie Downer, played by Rachel Dratch
Function: Noun
1. a: a person who says something terribly depressing (a downer), typically only tangentially related to the present circumstance or topic of conversation, and thereby destroys the positive atmosphere. b: a statement that is charactaristic of Debbie Downer
Usage note: In the skit, following each downer Debbie voices, a trombone plays a "wah waaah" (sad trombone) sound effect and the camera zooms in on Debbie Downer's face, which is twisted in comic despair.

Debbie Downer: Hey, does anyone have a banana?
Friend #1: What?
Debbie Downer: Well, if I don't get enough potassium every day, I awaken in the middle of the night by crippling leg cramps.
(higher-pitched wah wahhhhhhh; zoom in)
(everyone looks pissed off)
Debbie Downer: By the way, it's official -- they've located my birth mother. Deceased.
(deeper wah wahhhhhhhh; zoom in on a particularly painful facial expression)

Get the Debbymug. Similar in concept to a Wet Willy, except in the Wet Debbie, a woman shoves her finger into her wet snatch and immediately sticks it into the recipient's ear. Risks associated with the Wet Debbie include intense, perverse euphoria and STIs of the ear.
That stripper at the Toys for Tits charity drive gave Joe a Wet Debbie for donating two expensive toys! But now, unfortunately, he has gonorrhea of the ear. :/
