(pronounced as the three letters: ee-bee-n-zed (or -zee)) (n.) 1. Friends whose attempts at comforting you, despite their best efforts, somehow make everything worse. 2. False friends, who "comfort" you by causing you more pain or denigrate you or (most disturbing) simply gloat over your pain. (v., "ee-BEE-zee" or "-zed") 3. To give lousy comfort by pointing out, e.g., how much worse things could be, or how they have suffered more than you, or something equally gauche and unhelpful. (adj.) 4. Of or pertaining to exactly the wrong thing to say when attempting to comfort him or her. (From the three friends of Job: Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar, who do little more than tell Job over and over that he must have done something wrong to be suffering so much, which only makes Job mad and more distressed. These three names are also good as a pseudonym for a law firm that gives you nothing but bad news.)

"What's with Professor Jones?" "His daughter died last week, and he's not handling it very well." "He should look at the bright side: now he has an extra room in the house, and no more agonizing over birthday presents . . . what?" "You are THE worst EB&Z I have ever met. In fact, I wish hadn't met you. In fact, if you don't run away, I may have to Neanderthalize your face. . . . Jerk." |
