hyphenatrix

A controlling, self-centered, narcissistic woman of the corporate world who insists on hyphenating her two (or more) last names. A hyphenatrix typically dominates meetings, abuses subordinates, and generally behaves as if:

(a) rules do not apply to her
(b) others exist in order to please her every desire, no matter how absurd
(c) one last name is simply insufficient to express the glory of her being.

Can generally be identified by her brightly-colored power suits, her chilling, Medusa-like gaze, and her willingness to verbally eviscerate anyone who dares refer to her by only one last name.

Have you met that new head of HR, Megan Smith-Jones?" "Oh sweet Lord...she's a hyphenatrix, isn't she? I'm gonna go work on my resume.

unnecessary hyphenating

something i do too much of whilst msn-ing and emailing. it's a bad habit in some respects - kicks bloody arse in others.

Yay-ness (unnecessary hyphen)
msn-ing (as i did earlier totally by accident)
ill-ified (yet again)

basically the art of unnecessary hyphenating is to break down perfectly fine words or to totally invent your own. You can do this by taking the 'ing' off a word and adding a hyphen in the middle OR adding suffixs to the end of normal words. like yay for example. this can then become yay-ness (for more yay!) you can mix and match many words and suffixs - my three favorites are:

-ified
-ness
-ing

Have fun =)

de-hyphenation

"De-hyphenation" or, more accurately, “de hyphenation” is the act of detoxification after a night of heavy consumption of Hyphy Juice. In its purest form, de hyphenation consists of consuming large quantities of Taco Bell cheesy bean burritos. This terminology is rumored to have been popularized by the nocturnal activities of several Vanderbilt University Law students who have close ties to the Yay Area underground hip hop movement. Use of the phraseology has been adopted on the west side and is becoming increasingly popular as a description of the activities in which hip hoppers and law students engage after getting NorCal crunk oh Hyphy Juice and ghostriding the whip. In print, the removal of the hyphen from "De-hyphenation" is a contribution inspired by a particularly clever Vanderbilt Law student; it is intended to symbolize the absorption of Hyphy Juice by the cheesy bean burritos and the removal of the intoxicating effects of a drinker's prior consumption.

Niggas got 18 Dummy so early on that they had to hit up The Bell, beast seventeen cheesy beans and go through some serious de-hyphenation before hittin' the club.
