Note
A slang verb built from the adjective, and its -ing form does double duty. With be it makes the progressive (he was harshing the vibe); on its own it works as a noun (all that harshing got old). It covers both criticizing and dampening a mood, with or without an object: quit harshing, quit harshing my buzz. Buzz and vibe are its natural objects.
