grenell (v). To be so internally conflicted that you work tirelessly in support of others who oppose your own best interests.
This verb is named in recognition of Richard Grenell, 2006 recipient of the Roy Cohn Award. Grenell is openly gay while simultaneously being anti-gay (search for articles on "Raw Story" and "Blogactive" for more details; Grenell also has an entry on Wikipedia). Grenell is lately gaining notoriety on Twitter for his relentless bashing of current Ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice. In keeping with this pathological misogyny, Grenell also appears to oppose women's use of contraceptives and is essentially serving as a voluntary, de facto spokesman for Vatican interests (but is notably silent on the issue of pedophile priests).
