What does "Brechtian" mean in everyday usage?
On The Daily Show last night they referred to the term 'Brechtian'. Basically they were saying that the story of the Cheney shooting was hilarious but would turn 'Brechtian' if the victim died.
From the context I gather it means 'depressing' or 'profoundly sad' but I'd like to get a better sense of the true meaning of this term.
