To duchifest

Dictionary entry

To duchifest — To practise a duchifestation for, against, without an opinion or for no reason; performing the act is the desired result.

Verb · Crestignacian (first-group verb in French).

Pronunciation (French IPA): /dy.ʃi.fɛs.te/
Approximate English pronunciation: doo-shee-fes-TAY

Definition

To engage in a duchifestation, individually or collectively, inwardly or outwardly, in favour of, against, or without any opinion concerning anything whatsoever — or indeed without any object or reason at all.

Fundamental principle

To duchifest is an end in itself. The successful completion of a duchifestation constitutes the desired positive outcome, regardless of any external change.

Opposing convictions may remain fiercely irreconcilable: the success of one duchifestation never prevents the success of another.

Usage

Duchifesting requires authorisation and may be restricted to a specified period.

“I duchifest from 8:00 to 8:30 a.m. After that, I no longer duchifest.”

Examples

“I duchifest against this decision.”

“I duchifest without an opinion about the rain.”

“Today, I am duchifesting for absolutely no reason.”
