Basically, they fridged her and then she knocked the refrigerator door off its hinges from the inside.
A good Watsonian take on her character.

You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Has this Doyle/Watson thing been around forever? I just heard about it the other day and now everyone is using it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I just think it's an incredibly stupid narrative choice.
You're taking away serious, earned gravitas for the character and the Batfamily storyline. Same with reviving Jason Todd. He's more valuable narratively dead, as a failure for Batman.
If they want to streamline their continuity they should take the Dini-verse route and just extract the best elements, the most successful storylines and jetison the crappy ones.
Then you don't have to do backflips and stupid retcons to recover from really horrible storylines (like killing Stephanie Brown, or the way they botched Leslie's character).

I just heard it the other day and I put it to use immediately because it's a useful concept.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Pretty much. I've used it for a dog's age. Or longer. I dunno. Is common in my universe.

Also, as a side note, I'm tired enough that reading Doyle/Watson makes me wonder how that pairing could even WORK.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I'd probably read it, out of curiosity.

Every once in a while a sentence comes along that makes me wonder how long ago I would not have understood it.
This.

And this.
You could say that they defridged (defrosted?) her character
And this...or maybe Batgirl/Barbara was fridged but Oracle isn't a fridging?
You're taking away serious, earned gravitas for the character and the Batfamily storyline.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Oh, DC. You know how to get me to never leave you.
