Piers-Morganistic

An obnoxious, smug, self-superior and pseudo-intellectual manner of speaking, presenting/providing information, presenting oneself in a discussion or debate that is unhelpful, annoying and often operating on false information with the glib and narcissistic presupposition that one is already correct.

Discovered in the morally questionable journalism, methods of discussion/debate, pedantic and childish mentality of British journalist/talk show-host Piers Morgan
"You can't just Piers-Morganistically declare that to be the case without facts or evidence."

"The way that guy talks is so Piers-Morganistic, it's unbearable."

"Harassing a woman in her hospital bed to get a scoop for a newspaper is rather Piers-Morganistic.

noun:

1. the look on one's face after having asked the most stupid question imaginable. "No, and wipe that stupid piersmorgan off your face."

2. a question which itself is inestimably stupid or banal. "The interview consisted of an endless stream of piersmorgans."

4. a four-fingered slap across the face of the smarmy git who just asked you the stupidest question ever devised, leaving a visible mark but causing very little pain and no permanent damage.
