  • Definition (a work in progress): meaning to possess or to express a cornucopia of spin; to be bereft of any scintilla of appropriate context; to twist the truth so far into a lie that it winds up transforming back into the truth, etc.


    "Spindifferous," is to the word "spin" as the word "splendifferous" is to "splendid."

    It is not yet in common use, though I have used it personally in its adverbial iteration, ie. "spindifferously" for a decade or so.

    An example of its use in a sentence: "Let's tone down the level of hyperbole, my spindifferously oppugnant harbinger of discord."
