I know this is dumb, but I don't want to go to Twitter to find your original post on the subject. Can you please introduce CoHost to the concept of truck lettering?
every single town in the united states contains at least one pickup truck with adhesive letters on the side that spell out something almost exactly like:
you've probably seen one of these, and we can all imagine what Type Of Guy does this. something went poorly for him; it was probably his fault, or nobody's fault in particular, but either way someone needs to be blamed so that he doesn't have to face the intolerable situation of possibly appearing to be the cause of his own misery.
he has no friends who will sit and listen to him exculpate himself however - probably because he has been doing nothing except that for five years and everyone's done with his shit - so he buys $85 of stick-on letters at home depot and makes this little mobile billboard. this solves the problem: now "everyone in town knows" (he believes this is a valid concept even if he lives in a city of five million people) and there is no way anyone will ever blame him; instead, this lawyer's life will be "ruined" because now "everyone knows." the problem is definitely solved now, and the guy will not continue to be even angrier every day than he was the previous day, forever.
anyway, i call these "truckletter guys", and you can use it as a verb. i recommend it. if you are typing out some insufferable screed and you know the entire time that you're full of shit and just making things up to make yourself look blameless, congratulations: you are trucklettering.
