McAvoy (verb) 1. To "McAvoy" someone is to bully or belittle someone within your peer group or staff in a [professional] news-gathering [organization] using superior wit & [argumentative] skill to accomplish your own, self-inflated goals. 2. To be McAvoy'd is to work in production and content-based journalism somewhere on the east coast. 3. Being McAvoy'd is usually followed by drinking in a cheesy bar, self-loathing with other journalists about low pay, self-esteem issues and lamenting why your father didn't play catch with you more often when you were 12. 4. The term is most often used by a pair of reporters at a daily newspaper in Annapolis, Maryland in deference to the HBO show Newsroom and the sharp-tongued character Will McAvoy (played by Jeff Daniels).
