What is Humpty?
1.
(n, v.) The act of committing an undertaking in the public eye that serves to bring irreparable damage (crack) to one's reputation, intense ridicule and overwhelming embarrassment. Tell tale signs that one has committed a humpty and knows it (or has been informed by PR) include:
-appearing on every day-time and late-night talk show with nothing to promote except not being hated by the public
- your name becomes a verb
-the overwhelming hatred and ridicule for you is so strong that you become the common enemy that unites two or more groups with previously irreconcilable differences
V, past tense - Did you see Tom Cruise on Oprah? Wow, he really pulled a Humpty when he jumped on the couch like an idiot.
