sumuppance

(n): the combination of "summary" and "comeuppance", this word is used to convey the thought of concisely encapsulating the situation at hand while simultaneously taking to task those involved. I thought it was brilliant. First spotted in Brooke McEldowney's excellent comic strip, "Pibgorn". Submitted by Clint McInnes on 8/21/12.
