calhounery

The act of creating something of notable quality or value (such as a movie, artwork, or piece of writing) and then, after a period of time, deliberately deleting, destroying, or removing it from public access for a trivial, impulsive, or poorly justified reason, thereby disappointing the people who appreciated it.

This word is a portmanteau of "Calhoun" and "tomfoolery". This word is referring to Jeramiah Calhoun (who is known for performing such acts) and is directly taken from his now-deleted comic series, Calhounery.

The director’s latest act of calhounery - scrubbing her acclaimed short film because someone called the lighting "mid" - left her fans heartbroken.

When you make an agreement and everything is set in stone, and then somehow someway you end up agreeing to something totally different, but you have no idea what you actually agreed to.

I went to the dealership to buy this new car but somehow I got Calhouned and now I own a jet ski somehow.
