A relative, connected either by blood or through marriage, that has a tendency to act out, either in public on online, in less than pleasant manners. Typically, the idea of a family tree limb that is considered "redneck" or "whitetrash," and whose actions typically link them with the less refined, less dignified, and generally unappealing. They repel other family members based on their history or previous experiences.
Oh great. My repelative cousin just posted on my Facebook wall that our grandmother has just died...she didn't even bother to call me and tell me!

Get the Repelative mug.The five thriller novels by American author Patricia (STRANGERS ON A TRAIN, THE PRICE OF SALT) Highsmith (d. 1995) that have the amoral but sympathetic Thomas Ripley as their hero.
These books are: The Talented Mr. Ripley (1955), Ripley Under Ground (1970), Ripley's Game (1974), The Boy Who Followed Ripley (1980) and Ripley Under Water (1991). It is alleged that Ms. Highsmith coined the self-effacing and jocular term "Ripliad" herself, although when an anthology of the first three of these novels was published by Everyman's Library in 1998, critics used the term "Ripliad" to refer to those specific three. (In 2011 the Folio Society of London brought out its own three-volume boxed set of exactly the same novels.) However, the first boxed set of all five Ripley novels did not appear until 2008 (THE COMPLETE RIPLEY NOVELS); to them, the term "Ripliad" also applies.

"The one box set I would love Folio Society to put out would be the complete Ripliad by Patricia Highsmith. Probably my favourite author of all time..."
