dismemberly

adv. Not neighborly.

Real citation: “The movie builds to a butchery, wave after wave of police getting drunk (in the 'Just ask a glass of water' way) and dismemberly, without any rhythm or crescendo, without even plot developments to space out the increasingly questionable assaults.”
(March 13, 2005, The Burgess Shale, http://jere7my.livejournal.com/2005/03/13/)

Made-up citation: “Since the reviewers described my performance as ‘dismemberly’ and ‘squirrel-on-crack-like,’ I have abandoned the ballet for a quiet life of poetry and tears.”
