“Discovery is Demated,” says the headline to this story. Nothing too special about the story, except…is “demated” a word now?
If so, it seems to me it would be a fine alternative to “divorced,” which, after all, sounds a bit harsh, and we all know how important it is not to offend anyone’s delicate sensibilities these days:
“Hi! I’d like to introduce my friend Bill. Bill just got demated.”
“Did you hear about Sue and George’s demating? Unpleasant all around.”
“I don’t want you to think that I’m only interested in you because you’re recently demated…”
You could remake classic movies: “The Gay Dematee.”
Or how about, “Sometimes I think you are completely demated from reality.”
Yeah. Demated. Demated. I like it!
