worcesterized 

The wretched condition to which all residents of Worcester, MA eventually succumb. Symptoms include jibberish and non-sense speech patterns, an increasingly aluminum foil-centered wardrobe, and frequent trips to watch the Sharks. Note: Time to Worcesterization is different for all new residents, and is negatively correlated with the number of his/her Worcesterized friends/co-workers.

It took LJ about 6 years to become Worcesterized after moving to Worcester, MA. Now he wears his socks on his hands and uses them to talk to himself and his co-workers. Matt works with LJ and just moved to Worcester. He will be Worcesterized in no-time.

Worcesterize 

To take an opportunity ripe with business and economic-development potential and, by engaging in negative, destructive behavior, smoking it completely and absolutely.

Worcester, Massachusetts, with a population of 175,000 and a business/economic-development infrastructure platform capable of supporting more than twice that many people, refuses to market its significant, valuable assets to the rest of the world for economic-development purposes. As a result, Worcester's business-property tax base, which was 35% of its total tax base 20 years ago, is now only 20%.
