IDOLOATHE (V.) ‘Eye-do-lothe To bear feelings of admiration mingled with envy and hatred for a gifted, successful, lucky, and/or attractive person whose excellence makes you feel pathetic in comparison.  Usage: Yeah, she’s gorgeous- so much fun, and only 24! I can’t believe she got into the Whitney biennial.  Do you you think she sold her soul to Satan? I  kind of idoloathe her. Text © Liesl Schillinger 3/30/2009 Image ©Elizabeth Zechel, 7/27/2011
