verb; to metamorphose from a previously edgy, risque, sharp, funny personality into a safe, weak, lame, often gutless shadow of that former self. Provenance: the declining quality of American actor and comedian Eddie Murphy's oeuvre throughout the years (see: Daddy Day Care, Meet Dave, Norbit). Etymology: Compound word formed from US English 'eddiemurphy' (Eddie Murphy), meaning funny man in purple leather suit + metamorphose; verb - to undergo a transformation, a change; origin: Greek (metamórphōsis) Alternate, although incorrect spelling: eddiemorphose. Common misspellings: eddiemurphysize (refers to something which is the size of Eddie Murphy).
