Unburden: (Verb) Relieve someone of something that is causing anxiety or distress.

Jessica Simpson played at NYC's Madison Square Gaarden last night and made an embarrassing admission about her wardrobe. Sometimes? Her pants kind of split.

"I've had times when my pants split right down the middle when I bent down to reach a note," the singer told fans, laughing. "That's why I'm wearing a skort - not a skirt, not a short - just so they wouldn't split." (Source)

I'm not going to make fun of Jessica Simpson for her pants splitting. In fact, I think it's commendable for her to keep such good humor and be able to joke about herself in a time like this. The skort thing, on the other hand? Jesus woman, pull yourself together. There's self deprecation and then there's admitting that you're wearing "not a skirt, not a short." That's like admitting to wearing your period underpants or that you killed someone with your car one time when you were drunk.
