transitive

Examples

“Another woman said she KonMaried a bad boyfriend. Having tidied everything in her home and finding she still distinctly lacked happiness, she held her boyfriend in her hands, realized he no longer sparked joy and got rid of him.”

“The metric of objects only “sparking joy” is deeply problematic when applied to books. The definition of joy (for the many people yelling at me on Twitter, who appear to have Konmari’d their dictionaries) is: “A feeling of great pleasure and happiness, a thing that causes joy, success or satisfaction.””

“Marie Kondo, a.k.a. the queen of tidying up, is back at it with another book to help us all get our lives together. (Remember when she helped Cosmo editors KonMari their makeup bags?)”
