'''Crifanac''', short for '''CRI'''tical '''FAN AC'''tivity, means engaging in top-priority [[fan activity]], with an element of harriedness, such as meeting your minimum activity requirements in an [[amateur press association]] at the last possible minute. [[Charles Burbee]], who used it with self-satirical intent, coined it.

(Crif-FAN-ac) Critical [[Fan]] Activity. Some pronounce it CRY-fan-ac, but the ''i'' should be short as in critical. This useta mean required activity in [[FAPA]]; later, [[fanac]] indulged in by [[fans]] to raise their relative standing in the top ten. Now it refers simply to any efforts or their results which may be expected to earn the author [[egoboo]]. This publication is crifanac; so is the time spent writing and publishing it.

from [[Fancyclopedia 2 Supplement]]  ca. 1960:

Some claim that it's pronounced CRIF-an-ac, including creator [[Burbee]]. [[Ackerman]] had this to say about it in [[Shangri-L'Affaires]] #31, on what would have been page 14 if there had been any page numbers: "Let us face it: ''Crifanac'' is the most important single neologism that 1946 is likely to produce. What ''[[egoboo]]'' was to [[fandom]] in '45, ''crifanac'' is to '46. Critical [[fan activity]]! How masterfully has [[Burbee]] amalgamated this dynamic phrase into a single, smashing vocable! Crifanac: the topriority expletitive that explains all, excuses all, enthuses all. The sensation of the season, the raison d'etre of the [[actifan]]. And may I be the first to point out the pointless observation that crifanac spelled backwards is canafirc?"  [[Burbee]] says he coined this for tongue-in-cheek use, as if he ever coined words for other uses.
