| self-immolating selvofrende Explanation: self=selv immolating=ofring, offer, slaktoffer, oppofrelse Det passer ikke med selvoppofrende, men selvofrende kan vel gå. Dette kan jo være både postivt og negativt, og i denne samenhengen dreier det seg kanskje om et selskap som gikk på en markedsføringssmell. De ofret seg selv i en prosess som i utgangspunktet skulle øke omsetningen. http://articles.sfgate.com/2006-10-13/bay-area/17313996_1_pe... |

| self-immolating kompromitterende Explanation: Egentlig kan 'immolate' også bety antenne. Så, selvantennende, for å sette det på spissen. Men kompromitterende er et annet alternativ til selvmotsigende. |
