A bit of fun
The word Nevilleism is a pretentious combination of my first name, and the suffix of 'ism' that means: 'a distinctive practice, cause, system, or theory'.
But the Urban Dictionary - based we suspect on the transformation of Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter series of novels - defines #Nevilleism as, "When an unintelligent, unpopular, overall pathetic person undergoes an extreme personality change and becomes brave, admired, and physically attractive."
The same dictionary defines Nevillize as: "To vividly imagine something into being. To create first in imagination until it becomes reality."
So much for the transforming power of Nevilleisms. Read on, absorb, and prosper!
