Stultify

OMG, I can't believe how excited I got when I saw this as the word of the day. I'm dating myself, but when I was in college, Lisa Loeb and the Nine Stories were one of my favorite groups. "It's Over" is one of my favorite songs on the album. "Don't stultify, don't hold me high." So I've known this word for 22 years.
