    Etymology: From the Saturday Night Live character Debbie Downer, played by Rachel Dratch
    Function: Noun

    a: a person who says something terribly depressing (a [downer]), typically only tangentially related to the present circumstance or topic of conversation, and thereby destroys the positive atmosphere. b: a statement that is charactaristic of Debbie Downer

    Usage note: In the skit, following each downer Debbie voices, a trombone plays a wah waaah ([sad trombone]) sound effect and the camera zooms in on Debbie Downers face, which is twisted in comic despair.
