Hemingway

The act of writing, particularly a lengthy blog, article or essay, while consuming moderate to large quantities of alcohol during the process. Can be done to help stimulate creativity but most of the time the person is just a borderline alchoholic.
Term can also be interchanged with other popular writers with an affinity for booze. i.e.; to "Capote", to "Faulkner", to "Kerouack", to "Fitzgerald"

Hemingway Method

A method of doing school work based on the quote by Ernest Hemingway, "Write drunk; edit sober." This can use any method of inebriation be it drugs or alcohol, you just can't be sober. This tends to work best when you have time to sober up and edit the essay.
I really couldn't get any inspiration for my Sociology mid-term, so I resorted to the Hemingway Method. Surprisingly enough drunk me is filled with ideas, I got an A, mind you my friend you must have time to sober up before you turn in the essay.

Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Miller Hemingway (July 21, 1899 — July 2, 1961) was a novelist, short-story writer, and journalist. He was part of the 1920s expatriate community in Paris, and one of the veterans of World War I later known as "the Lost Generation." He received the Pulitzer Prize in 1953 for The Old Man and the Sea, and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954.

A reported misogynist who enjoyed his liquor. Any degrading act preformed on the female body such as "tea bagging", or "pimp smackin' dat ho" can also be referred to as a "Hemingway".
