The opposite of expand.

Definition:
A word invented by me to describe the expand / despand area of a website normally associated with 'Anchors' where content can be contained in a 'Collapsible or un-collapsible' region and referenced in a web page by a hyperlinked statement, normally accessed and anchored to a question at the top of the web page.
Also used in non shakespeare style verb-age to describe someone who has 'eaten all the pies', thus further described as 'to expand or to despand, that is the fast food based question.'

Ron DeSpandex 

The stage name of the up and coming Miami-based trans entertainer who deftly skewers the quirky and deranged Governor of Florida.
The talented Ron DeSpandex has really nailed down the moves and expressions of DeSantis in a way that has caused periodic apoplectic rage to erupt from His Royal Piousness.

Despondex 

Made by Pfizer in collaboration with The Onion News Network, Despondex is the first drug designed to treat the symptoms of excessive perkiness. It can prevent loud joyful squeals when a friend calls, Christmas caroling, costume parties, talking in line at a grocery store, community potlucks, excessive hugging, and smiles.
Are you annoyingly happy?
Despondex could be right for you.
If you are in a good mood occasionally that is normal but if you have a persistant positive outlook on life you should ask your doctor about Despondex.
Now you too can waste a night sitting on the couch with your friends or family watching a TV show no one enjoys.
Despondex prevents happiness better than watching the news, considering man's impact on nature, checking your bank balance, and thinking about how old you are and how little you have accomplished.

Tread lightly though because once she has you in her sights your life will never be the same.
