Comeyfy\u00a0<\/strong>(co-me-fie) a verb, as in, to Comeyfy<\/strong>. Past tense: Comeyfied. <\/strong>The gerund form: Comeyfying. Comeyfyer,<\/strong> male.<\/p>\n

Description of Comeyfy<\/strong>: 1. A pompous man with limited authority publicly announces and pursues an investigation into the private aspects of a woman’s* professional life, despite protocols requiring such investigations be kept quiet.<\/a><\/p>\n

2. When the investigation turns up no prosecutable act or impropriety, the authoritative man makes a public announcement — again despite protocols — granting exoneration but layering on suggestive, gratuitous and unpleasant nouns modified by exaggerated yet undefined adjectives and adverbs, i.e., “extremely<\/em> careless;” \u201ctremendous<\/em> lapse<\/em> in judgment;\u201d \u201ca significant<\/em> appearance<\/em> of impropriety;” “unprofessional<\/em> manner;” “an odor of mendacity.<\/em>” [Emphasis added by me. Because I’m still fucking mad as hell.]<\/p>\n

3. Throughout, the authoritative man displays an attitude of intellectual and moral superiority, misplaced condescension and a patriarchal zeal for punishment — despite his own grudging admission he couldn’t find anything to punish.<\/p>\n

Notable recent Comeyfiers<\/strong> include the eponymous James Comey, Scott McGhee and Robert Hur.*<\/p>\n

*Sometimes the target is male. In such a case, the Comeyfyer<\/strong> primarily resorts to sneering condescension. After his statement has been published, this Comeyfyer<\/strong> gets publicly exposed for his distortions and dishonesty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
