crack-whoritude

noun. A literal or metaphorical condition that, by all accounts, can accurately be characterized as "not good."

Related terms: fame-whoritude, media whoritude, semi-whoritude.

Real citation: "Your crack-whoritude has gone beyond all extremes and it's time to part ways. Adobe? Microsoft Acrylic? Apple? Calgon? Take me away!!!"

Made-up citation: "Smart scientists have shown that chimpanzees share many abilities with humans, including signing and tool-using. Can crack-whoritude be next?"
