Debag

"After a nice drink with locals in a rural Welsh pub, they turned on him and - although it was illegal under both English and Welsh law dating back to the earliest laws pertaining to trousers - they debagged him."

Dewdle

Note: dewdling is not quite as slow as dawdling.

Dribble

As in: "He didn't give the dribble enough time, and the dark spot visible on his light-coloured chinos as he returned from the gents caused some uncomfortable hilarity."

Derrida, Jacques

French philosopher and historian

"Perhaps Derrida's most quoted and famous assertion is the statement that "there is no out-of-context" [il n'y a pas de hors-texte]. Critics of Derrida have been often accused of having mistranslated the phrase in French to suggest he had written "Il n'y a rien en dehors du texte" ["There is nothing outside the text"] and of having widely disseminated this translation to make it appear that Derrida is suggesting that nothing exists but words. Derrida once explained that this assertion "which for some has become a sort of slogan, in general so badly understood, of deconstruction ... means nothing else: there is nothing outside context. In this form, which says exactly the same thing, the formula would doubtless have been less shocking." ~ wiki

Declare, denounce, deride, defy, deny

"FMF defiantly declared himself the 'real' Poster of the Year 2023 after deriding the organizers of the poll, denouncing those who did not have the courage to vote for him, and denying that he was delusional in the everyday sense of the word."
