Shatnered

Verb
When an expatriot showbusiness personality goes insane due to an inablility to cope with the strong and unique American culture they are thrust into via fame. Precursors are, freakishly odd quotes in interviews and outlandish behaviour in public.

Examples are William Shatner, Bono, Corey Haim, Mel Gibson, Margo Kidder, and Howie Mandel.

Coco "Did you watch the Two Coreys last night?"

Terrance "No, I hate shows about washed up celebrities. Why?"

Coco "Because Corey Haim totally Shatnered"

shatner

(v.) to ascend to one's highest level of mediocrity

Origin: after William Shatner, actor, famous for his role as Captain James T. Kirk in the hit 1960's TV show Star Trek. Less famous for everything else since then.

With the release of The Matrix trilogy, Keanu Reeves had clearly shatnered, as he will unlikely be able to achieve such awesomeness again unless, by some wondrous twist of fate, he is able to reprise his role as "Ted" Theodore Logan in the yet-to-be produced Broadway show "Bill and Ted's Excellent Musical Adventure."

Shatnerism

Shatnerism is a disease spawned from William Shatner, well know for his roles as Captain Kirk from Star Trek, and Tevye from one version of Fiddler on the Roof. Shatnerism is a disease in which the victim pauses for dramatic effect after 2-4 syllables of speech.

shatner

A term derived from the The First Star Trek William Shatner's acting: halting, punchy dialogue, delivered in a dry and self - mocking manner.

The First Batman - the 1st campy one, Adam West, out - shatnered himself while musing about The Riddler :
"The Riddler is loose to plague us...with his...criminal cunundrums!"
Props to Roger Moore

shatnering

Overacting without the underlying skill to pull it off. See "Hambone."

Did you see David Caruso on CSI: Miami last night? He was shatnering so hard I thought he'd bust a vein.
