In the book Hoot, what descriptions can you give about Dana Matherson?

In Carl Hiaasen's novel Hoot, Dana is an antagonist. He is a bully, and in the opening scene of the book, he ambushes the main character, Roy Eberhardt. Dana smashes Roy's face against the bus window and digs his fingernails into Roy's scalp. He outweighs Roy by at least fifty pounds, and his breath smells like cigarettes. In addition to the physical bullying, Dana hurls verbal insults, calling Roy "cowgirl." There aren't many physical descriptions of Dana apart from his size. The author leaves it to the reader to make inferences about his appearance. There is much more description given about Dana's personality and temperament. 


Dana has 3 older brothers, and they all attended Trace Middle School. Throughout the novel, Dana is described as an unintelligent goon whose main hobby is picking on smaller students.


Dana bullies Roy a second time on the bus, once again ambushing him. This time, he chokes him. Roy is intent on finding out about the running boy and backhands Dana to get away from him. This results in a broken nose for Dana and a bus suspension for Roy. Roy has to write an apology letter to Dana, and quips "Who's going to read it to him?" Roy is sporting finger sized bruises on his neck where Dana choked him, which saves him from a weightier punishment. 


Roy and his mother deliver the apology note to Dana's home and discover the apple doesn't fall far from the tree as they watch Dana and his mother fight over the note. Dana's mom is disappointed in her son to learn that such a scrawny boy caused great damage to her son.  Dana doesn't accept Roy's apology and vows revenge. 


One day when Roy is investigating the construction site, Dana finds him and chases him, but Roy gets away. Dana is caught by the construction foreman and blamed for the vandalism that's been going on. He gives the foreman Roy Eberhardt's name instead of his own, but Officer Delinko knows he's not Roy. Officer Delinko interrogates him and realizes he's not the vandal when he shows him an alligator. Dana, who has been insulting and uncooperative with the officer, is afraid of the alligator. Delinko sees this as proof he couldn't have been the one to place the alligators in the portable toilets. Readers learn that Dana has a rap sheet for juvenile offenses. 


Dana's last hurrah happens when he chases Roy after school, causing Roy to hide out in a Janitor's closet. When Beatrice rescues him, He sees she has tied Dana to a tree clad in only his underwear.

Is there a word/phrase for "unperformant"?

As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...

Is 'efficate' a word in English?

I routinely hear the word "efficate" being used. For example, "The most powerful way to efficate a change in the system is to participate." I do not find entries for this word in common English dictionaries, but I do not have an unabridged dictionary. I have checked the OED (I'm not sure if it is considered unabridged), and it has no entry for "efficate". It does have an entry for "efficiate", which is used in the same way. Wordnik has an entry for "efficate" with over 1800 hits, thus providing some evidence for the frequency of use. I personally like the word and find the meaning very clear and obvious when others use it. If it's not currently an "officially documented" word, perhaps its continued use will result in it being better documented.
