What is a "debby downer"?
Hello, my friends!
Once again this occasionally clueless baby boomer (me) has a question for the "texting" generation: What is a "debby downer"? I may be able to use this phrase when crafting stories meant for teens.

Debbie Downer
Saturday Night Live character
Portrayed by Rachel Dratch
Debbie Downer is a name of a fictional Saturday Night Live character which debuted in 2004, and who was portrayed by Rachel Dratch.
The character's name is a slang phrase which refers to someone who frequently adds bad news and negative feelings to a gathering, thus bringing down the mood of everyone around them. Dratch's character would usually appear at social gatherings and interrupt the conversation to voice negative opinions and pronouncements. She is especially concerned about the rate of Feline AIDS, a subject that she would bring up on more than one occasion.
You know you could have gone to your browser or to ask.com or google and typed is what is a Debby Downer and saved yourself some time and excluded the middle man.
