Shawshanked.

I once read (I think it was in an edition of Newsweek) that the term "shawshanked" was being adopted by "the youth of America" as a slang word. Inspired by the movie "The Shawshank Redemption," the term meant something like "receiving an injustice." In line with this tradition of creating words, a roommate (Matt Coombe) and I have decided to introduce a new verb into American parlance: Yankee. Used in the active voice, it will mean "to self-destruct, implode. " "Man, that guy "Yankeed." Other historical examples of this phenomenon can be found in Greg Norman's "yankee" at the '96 Masters and the Sonics "yankee" in 94 against the lowly Nuggets. Yes, anachronistic references are permissible.
