Holicaustify
Created by: Bulletchewer
Pronunciation: hol-e-corse-ti-fy
Sentence: It was particularly cringe-worthy to hear Michael holicaustify the diverse range of guests.
Etymology: From "holy/holiday", "horrify" and "caustic" meaning acidic or harsh. Is, of course, a pun on Holocaust, making the word a little risky, but, in my view, adding to the effectiveness of the gestures it describes, as they are offensive/insensitive.
