Culvinize 

To needlessly complicate the solution to a problem, resulting in varying degrees of success. Culvinizing a situation can result in a brilliant, straightforward and simple solution. Likewise, it can result in a convoluted, messy duct-tape-and-baling-wire hack that will eventually fail in catastrophic fashion. Culvinization is heavily dependent upon the context of a situation -- it can be both good and bad.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
