A term used to desribe someone who is a writer, though more frequently someone who fashions him/herself a writer but really isn't, or is not a very good one; derived from the name Ernest Hemingway, famed American novelist and story writer, but with the "g" removed to give it a colliquial informal feel, suggesting its ironic nature.

Ol' Heminway over there is writing all the time; too bad it's all drivel! That schmuck thinks he's going to be the next great novelist.

Hemingway Solution

To commit suicide via shotgun blast administered beneath the chin or inside the mouth, as mentioned in Stephen King's novel Dreamcatcher. If the shotgun is particularly long the trigger is often pulled by a toe.

Damn it, why did he have to go and use the Hemingway Solution in my room? Now there's brain matter all over my ceiling.

The old guy in 'The Hills Have Eyes' used the Hemingway Solution.

Check out Billy, he's been drinking everything in sight since 11:00 AM. Whiskey, wine, beer you name it. He's not just getting drunk, he's getting Hemingway drunk!
