The act of diminishing or destroying the original meaning or purpose of an entity (be it individual, location, building, group, etc) during the act of building it up (building up the image, adding to the building, adding more rules to a group, etc).

3: Something that one creates in Home Economics because one's group is doing terribly on the cooking assignment, namely one person, which you first send the cold, hard truth, then abandon it and attempt to compliment and suggest ideas at the same time.
