nutburgery

noun. Folks like Commander Cuckoo-Bananas frequently engage in nutburgery, because they are mentally wacky.

Real citation: "This is a proven strategy in the area of ufology. People DO see UFOs. The government doesn't want people blabbering on about what might be the newest toy in the black budget arsenal. Therefore they find one easy case which can be debunked and whose observers can be exposed as nuts or frauds. That way, any other legitimate observations by competent people can likewise be dismissed as just more tinfoil nutburgery."

Made-up citation: "The nutburgery quotient of this Presidency will be hard to top. Then again, I never thought we'd learn that monkeys talk like Pepe le Pew, so I wouldn't rule anything out."
