Meaning of Burchillian | Babel Free

Adjective CEFR C1

Definitions

Of or relating to Julie Burchill (born 1959), polemical British writer.

Examples

“But it tells you all you need to know about Burchillian ethics: be beautiful, or be damned.”
“The ecological cause is showered with Burchillian vitriol — 'Green is politics for people who don't like people' — but the women's quarrel loses force when it strays on to men, self-oppression and the Third World.”
“'BF' is more ambiguous, with 'Best Friend' unlikely after Susan Douglas has read through the antics of the heroine Susan Street. Perhaps 'F' is for something more typically Burchillian. Nothing, however, can explain why Random House paid Burchill £175,000 for the UK hardback rights to two novels, this being the first offering.”
