conclusiastical

adj. Like Ecclesiastical, but more end-y-ish.

Real citation: "Conclusiastical remarks
Hopefully, some of the high-profile athletes in Vancouver will do a similar service to the old, the squishy and the dimwitted by adjusting their current campaign of shame against the unexceptional. Until they learn to play down their physical fitness and warmth and charm, though, they're going to do enormous damage to the morale of millions of regular, ugly, unfunny, stupid Americans. It needs to stop. Today, we draw a line in the snow and say: No more!"

Made-up citation: "I think 'series finale event' is a silly term for the last episode of Lost. Why not 'conclusiastical clusterfuck'? Come on, marketers!"
