It's what happens backstage at the 53rd annual Grammy Awards. It's very similar to "darist darison", but much, much heavier I'm afraid. Always singular - there are no known cases of multiple burtations. (Etymology - created by Serene Branson, CBS LA news reporter.)

I tried to ask Alice out on a date but I was drunk and nervous so my proposal became a total burtation.
Some rambling homeless man tried to sell me drugs I think but I'm not sure because he was having a burtation.
