The delivery of an intellecutally effective, usually humorous, ironic and often quite exquisite tongue lashing - coined after the exploits of Christopher Hitchens, a successful 21ist century author and political commentator.

We who have witnessed the brilliance of Hitchens' life would do society a favor by carrying on with the art of the hitchslap.

Hitchslap

The process of utterly obliterating an opponent's entire (usually religious or political) argument, usually in one or more succinct or terse statements, orally or in writing; employed almost exclusively by Christopher Hitchens.

Examples can be found in nearly every Hitchens debate, occasionally in articles, and in the form of entire books, about subjects or people.

Christopher Hitchen's book God Is Not Great was effectively one long Hitchslap to organized religion.

About twenty minutes into the debate Dinesh d'Souza got Hitchslapped and never really recovered from it.

Hitchens was a guest in a Fox News segment the other day. He Hitchslapped just about everyone on there.

It was funny the other day when Sean Hannity invited Hitchens on the show and tried to be a smartass, but was abruptly Hitchslapped for his trouble.

Christopher Hitchen's book God Is Not Great was effectively one long Hitchslap to organized religion.

The act that noted rational atheist Christopher Hitchens must employ on theologists when they attempt to enter discussions that require logic for proof and not "faith".

Christopher just hitchslapped Ned Flanders again when he tried to use the circular reasoning as proof that his theory is true because the Bible supports it.
