NUOVO PAROLONA

LEARN BIG NEW WORDS!!

"Crazybusy":

Originated in a short poem titled "bad-hare days" in 2000 by Vancouverite recluse-poet, Kit Wong:

Mad-bee in my bonnet mesh of bed-head hair twitchinair sniffin
mess-see then do and concludina crazybusy bustled by the hustl'ah multitaskin self is askin for troubles

The poetic device/concept is to find two rhyming words that replicate the buzzing sound simultaneously, and made an aural rhythmn -- this, in turn, symbolizes the multitasking madness that we all encounter in the midst of our lives when chores overwhelm our singular ability to perform the labour, and we attempt to side-step the process by multi-tasking, sometimes making it worse.

It can also be use to mean someone who attempts to multi-task to appear highly effective/efficient, but often falls short.

It can also be used in describing an attempt of applying hare-brained strategies to chaos-manage, but seems destined for failure, although not indicative of failure or success yet. It is felicitously used as an interim description before the final outcome of a bout of multi-tasking


Examples:
"The day's been crazybusy"
"That suggestion isn't going to work, why, it's just crazybusy!"
"You're just being a crazybusy, aren't you?"
