Devilization

a pun on Civilization and represents its antithesis. The word is a native African product, first seeing the light in "The Lagos Weekly Record", invented to describe the veneer of civilization imposed on natives of Africa at the White's point of contact with them. This Lagos publicist John Payne Jackson (1848-1915) finds that"after a century of trial it is fitting that the native should call a halt, and in his own interest take stock of the result of this foreign system imposed on him".

devil winged bat

A devil winged bat is like a night howler somebody whose eyes are as big and is dilated as possible who is constantly following you around like a little devil on your shoulder who has wings and can fly from one side of the room to the other and turn off every light right behind you without you seeing them and in front of you without you seeing them to close you in and cleans up and picks up everything you put down and try to come back to it before you even get to get back to it or you can see it and it's gone. So it sketches you the f*** out to the point you believe that hilariously like puppet dracula; it must want your blood/ party favors/ goodies in the basket.
