  • UPDATE: World English Dictionary

    bullycide (ˈbʊlɪˌsaɪd)

    — n

    the act or an instance of killing oneself intentionally as a result of bullying

    C21: from bully + (sui)cide

    I do not believe our children made a choice. I believe it was an impulsive, desperate act due to depression caused by peer abuse. I do not like the word "intentional" in the definition. It means it was a deliberate act.

    I find it offensive, really.

  • Morphologically doesn't add up to what it's supposed to mean.

  • So I suppose "matricide" is killing yourself after watching the whole Matrix series a dozen times and still not being able to figure out what's real not.

  • I was just heading here to say something about what that definition would make matricide, but I was too late! At least I was rewarded by finding a list of "familial killing terms" on Wikipedia.
