Bastilliation

Bastilliation: noun. The act of doing something that would seem illogical but has large effects. Bastilliation is often refered to in a positive context, but be careful not to use the word in royal or aristocratic circles. The word was derived from the French fortress Bastille that was stormed on June 14th 1789 as a part of the French Revolution. With the subsequent events in mind, a number of times bastilliation is mentioned with derision.
