[Ads-l] enshittification

[Andy Bach]

It is an intriguing snippet
[Begin excerpt]
Psychoanalysis itself comes in for:
verbal shittification [merdalisation verbale]
I spit
tiring colloquy
internal radiography
infantile radiography.
[End excerpt]

I downloaded the pdf and backing up from the quote, found that this list
(and others) are word associations of a psychoanalytic patient (Rynaldo):
"a symbolic language the subject has created ... which surge up ready-made
in the mind of the subject at any moment of the day." The analyst also
believes that some of the words are neologisms, so maybe this Rynaldo is
the inventor of "shittification", though in French.
