[Ads-l] beclown

[Jonathan Lighter]

OED: "OED's only evidence for *beclown* is from 1609, in the writing of
Samuel Rowlands, satirist."

" 'John Kelly has totally beclowned himself with these debunked stories he
has fabricated because he failed to serve his President well while working
as Chief of Staff and currently suffers from a debilitating case of Trump
Derangement Syndrome,' the Trump campaign told The Wall Street Journal."
