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.

Dunning-Kruger effect

In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias wherein persons of low ability suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their cognitive ability as greater than it is. The cognitive bias of illusory superiority derives from the metacognitive inability of low-ability persons to recognize their own ineptitude. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, low-ability people cannot objectively evaluate their actual competence or incompetence.

As described by David Dunning and Justin Kruger, the cognitive bias of illusory superiority results from an internal illusion in people of low ability and from an external misperception in people of high ability; that is, "the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others." Hence, the corollary to the Dunning–Kruger effect indicates that persons of high ability tend to underestimate their relative competence, and erroneously presume that tasks that are easy for them to perform also are easy for other people to perform.
