Dunning-Kruger Affect

When someone overestimates their ability to understand the Dunning-Kruger Effect, yet misguidedly discusses it ad nauseam in a pretentious drone as if they discovered it.
“Goddamnit! Deborah is suffering from the Dunning-Kruger Affect. She keeps frontin’ about other people’s cognitive biases, ironically unaware that she’s a text book example of what she speaks.”

dunnish

adj. Somewhat dun or dusky.

v.t. 1. To consume completely. 2. To have sexual congress with. 3. To achieve victory and dominance, esp. through violence or in combat; to destroy or to disfigure.

Inflected forms: dunnished, dunnishing, dunnishes
Other forms: dunnishment (n.)

Notes on usage and etymology. As a verb, the term is comparable to the verb "to pound." It is also somewhat similar in its connotations to the phrase "to do the job (on)," as used in Mario Puzo's novel "The Godfather" (1969), where it is used both as a sexual euphemism and as a phrase denoting a "hit." One theory traces the word "dunnish" from the German "Donnerschmied," meaning "thundersmith"; presumably, this was converted into English as "dunnishment," and the verb "to dunnish" was the result of a back-formation. More likely, however, "dunnish" is a portmanteau word, combining the words "done" and "punish," or possibly "done" and "finish."
1. We totally dunnished those cases of beers for Newman's Day.
2. Don't go in; Jason's in there dunnishing his girlfriend.
3. In a night of drunken debauchery and dunnishment, Bill and his guests just dunnished all the furniture in the room.
