Spirk

Note: he doesn't know about Spirk, as far as I know.

2003 February 22, ToolPackinMama, “Re: K/S is a universal constant”, in alt.tv.star-trek.tos (Usenet):

It is most commonly noted that the first famous pairing of Kirk/Spock, or Spirk, falls under the category of buddyslash.

2013, Janidean Bruner, "I 'like' slash: the demographics of Facebook slash communities", thesis submitted to the University of Louisville, page 10

Even more so, the other main reason for so much consistency in economies is the long tradition of "proper" fanfiction writing and engagement, handed down from the "Spirk" zine-writers of the 80s and 90s, to the AOL email lists and forums of early X-Files fans in the mid to late 90s, to the multi-page, interactive, and searchable archives of fanfiction sites today.

2016, Brittany Kelley, "To My Betas, Endless Chocolate Frogs!: Exploring the Intersections of Emotion, the Body, and Literacy in Online Fanfiction", thesis submitted to the University of Louisville, page 146

(fandom slang, rare) The ship of characters Spock and James Kirk of the Star Trek franchise.


Supercorp

Jordan's heterosexuality is juxtaposed with the recurring generalization of all Supercorp fans as LGBTQ+, allowing the debates around queerbaiting to shift their focus from the evidence of queerness in the primary narrative to the homophobia of the ostensibly heterosexual creators and the purported harm inflicted on LGBTQ+ fans.

2019, Michael McDermott, “From Canon to Politics: Queerbaiting and The CW's Supergirl”, in Joseph Brennan, editor, Queerbaiting and Fandom: Teasing Fans Through Homoerotic Possibilities, page 119:

However, unless the show writers decide to turn the show in a more queer direction, SuperCorp is doomed to remain hidden as reading between the lines during all Lena Luthor and Kara Danvers/Supergirl interactions.

2018, Anna DeGalan, "Supergay: A Queer Analysis of the CW’s 'Supergirl'", paper submitted to Bowling Green State University, page 19

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Kara Danvers (Supergirl) and Lena Luthor from the television series Supergirl.


Captain Swan

Captain + Swan, a combination of Killian Jones' title as Captain Hook and Emma Swan's surname.

And the 'Captain Swan' fans would have been like, grr!

2015, Merrin Dungey, quoted in Mars Tonic, "Once Upon a Time - It's Good to Be Bad", GayCalgary Magazine, May 2015, page 30

In its annual “Year in Review” for 2015, Tumblr listed Captain Swan, a “ship” or relationship between Captain Hook and Emma Swan of the TV program Once Upon a Time as one of its most popular pairings.

2016, Susan Henneberg, 20 Great Career-Building Activities Using Tumblr, page 43:

Additionally, wittyoncer states that Swan Queen is “compelling,” echoing the shared belief that Outlaw Queen and Captain Swan are anything but […]

1998 March 21, Coolcat350, “Re: Question re) Best of Fan Fic”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

But there is quite a lot of Scullyslash. Maybe not archived on Gossamer, but there are at least two Scullyslash archives that I know of and one very active mailing list.

1999 June 12, Dasha K, “Re: A DARE... Hmm...”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

Radclyffe began writing online with Scullyslash stories that paired Dana Scully from the X-files with an original character of her own creation.

I prefer the Scullyslash, boyslash leaves me kind of cold.

kaizo

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-kaizo.wav

From Kaizo Mario World, the name of an early set of fan-created levels in this style first released in 2007, where kaizo is from Japanese 改造 (kaizō, “revamp, remodel, modify”).

bor

I like too, he stole kaizo. Like, that name, that's the ubiquitous term for romhacks that are more annoying to play. […] Is kaizo now just like an internet adjective for anything that's, like, mildly irritating?

[2011 April 1, Michael "Slowbeef" Sawyer, That's so Kaizo!, archived from the original on 2023-01-20:

I recently played the kaizo hack known as Invictus.[…]As my sore hand recovers, I’m left asking this question: is “kaizo” good game design?

2019 May 5, Josh Bycer, “The Bizarre World of Kaizo Games”, in Medium (published in SUPERJUMP):

What if it could be different? What if there was a way for your average Mario player to learn these tricks? That’s what GrandPOObear, one of Mario Maker’s most prolific streamers, is trying to accomplish with his already-impressive “tech talk” series, where he combines detailed video tutorials explaining basic kaizo techniques alongside Mario Maker 2 stages he’s specifically designed to help anyone accomplish those very same techniques.[…]GrandPOObear wasn’t born with inherent kaizo knowledge;

2019 July 11, Patrick Klepek, “'Mario Maker' Expert Creates Easy Way to Learn Game's Secret Kaizo Tricks”, in Vice:

Troll and kaizo levels, however, are designed to generate very different sets of emotions in their players, and to understand these we must understand first their construction and the intentions of their designers, before considering their players.

2020, Mark R. Johnson, “Playful Work and Laborious Play in Super Mario Maker”, in Pablo Abend, Sonia Fizek, Mathias Fuchs, Karin Wenz, editors, Digital Culture & Society (09: Laborious Play and Playful Work I), volume 5, number 2/2019, Bielefeld: transcript Verlag, →ISBN, page 110:

A kaizo trap is an obstacle that will kill the player if it gets triggered, but there is no way of knowing where a trap is unless it gets sprung.

2020, Joshua Bycer, Game Design Deep Dive: Platformers, CRC Press:

Many Mario Maker 2 kaizo stages can take over 25 hours for a top-level player to beat. Even at its most impressive, solving a kaizo level is an incredibly repetitive act: Each one of them will take hundreds (if not thousands) of attempts to clear, meaning that any viewer will essentially be watching the same level for hours on end. For some reason, watching GrandPOObear, or other kaizo speed runners try and fail, over and over again was the only thing I could focus on, the only thing that kept the fear out of my mind.

2020 January 20, Sam Greszes, “Waiting and watching: How brutally difficult Mario levels helped me through my mom’s stroke recovery”, in The Washington Post:

“There’s still a stigma in the [Super Mario Maker 2] community that troll levels have, which is that people think the super expert hot garbage levels are troll levels,” Chichiri said. “And the well-made troll levels are so much the opposite. They are carefully designed levels made with a lot of planning and psychology in them. It’s not just ‘Lul kaizo block’ or ‘Lul enemy spam’ or ‘Lul this required item was in this hidden block you’d NEVER ever find.’ So I wish people would stop calling the hot garbage levels ‘troll levels’ when they’re really not.”

2020 April 1, Michael Goroff, “These Super Mario Maker Level Designers Have Elevated Trolling Into an Artform”, in Electronic Gaming Monthly:

A simple, unexpected obstacle is not only funny but also creates that special sauce that makes kaizo so fun to watch.[…]The most classic example of a kaizo troll is set up like this: You’re jumping over a pit, but midway through the jump you bonk your head on a block that wasn’t there before, sending you to your death.

2021 June 18, Jeremy Signor, “Six Super Mario kaizo trolls that surprise and delight”, in Polygon:

While the game doesn’t touch the main plot or structure of the original Pokémon Emerald, this Kaizo edition changes basically everything else. […]Pokémon Dark Rising: Kaizo. That last one is a remake of the first, only much more difficult like you’d expect from a Kaizo game, but also has some significant plot and structural changes that make it worth experiencing again.

2022 May 27, Jesse Lennox, Digital Trends:

(video games, often attributive) A philosophy of game design distinguished by very high difficulty levels and hidden traps that can only be solved by repeated deaths and trial and error, especially associated with romhacks of Super Mario games.


redemptionista

In the first place, it is not true that redemptionistas want redemption for Spike to be easy or quick.

2001 July 2, Clairel, “The actual redemptionist position (was Re: Starved for S/B fic on the creative newsgroup?)”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet):

If I see next season true sorrow and compassion from him in regards to his past actions, the redemptionistas will have a convert that they probably don't want.

2001 July 26, Shawn Carter, “Re: I'm starting to get upset about the whole Spike thing”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet):

Cheers to Spike. Cheers to the Redemptionistas who never stopped believing.

2005 November 14, Alane, “Happy Spike Redemption Day!”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet):

(Buffy the Vampire Slayer fandom slang) A fan who wanted Spike to be redeemed.


sensawunda

Intentional misspelling or eye dialect rendition of sense of wonder.

How does a non-science fiction writer write science fiction? We had a taste with John Hersey's WHITE LOTUS and MY PETITION FOR MORE SPACE and discovered that future visions could be presented with such reality and simplicity that our sensawunda could be thrown away and we could discover, instead, deep and beautiful characters.

1978, Orson Scott Card, Kalki review, Science Fiction Review, Number 28, November-December 1978, page 33

[…] in order to be able to make the pilgrimage to Mecca, the Sultan of Alpha Centauri engineers a breath-taking re-siting of the entire solar system — sensawunda indeed!

1989, Foundation, numbers 47-53, page 33:

In this one Brin thinks big and the sensawunda gets turned up to eleven. For instance instead of puny ordinary Dyson spheres, Brin gives us fractal Dyson spheres to maximise the surface area for their trillions of inhabitants.

1999, Gary Wilkinson, Heaven's Reach review, Vector, Number 207, September/October 1999, page 21

(dated, fandom slang) Wonder or excitement invoked by the grandeur and vision of science fiction.


evilista

OTOH, James differs from most evilistas in that he seems to think that despite all of this, Spike can consistently do good and can be with Buffy.

2001 June 25, Mrs. Poet, “Re: The standard of goodness for Spike”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet):

Redemptionists hope this will be the crisis that forces him to change, evilistas are shrugging it off as typical Spike behavior, and even perhaps showing him in a better light than they thought as he is remorseful.

2002 May 7, Rose, “Re: James Marsters in Baltimore, MD July 12-14 2002”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet):

There are the Evilistas that believe the only good vampire is a dusty vampire.

2002 December 3, Juleen, “Re: Buffy fan subgroups”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet):

(Buffy the Vampire Slayer fandom slang) A fan who wanted Spike to remain evil and unredeemed.


Spikeophile

(The rabid Spikeophiles are expecially fond of it, as they use it to demonstrate that he's not a soulless demon like the rest of vampirekind.)

1999 July 24, Lord Usher, “Re: Pure Demon theory”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet):

If you mean that Spikeophiles are wrong to love this fictional character, well, that's just silly.

2002 July 25, Clairel, “Re: New Fury interview: Spike & soul”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet):

This all or nothing thinking is probably what causes the Spikeophiles and the anti-Spikists to go at each other so hard.

2002 September 9, Ray Stark, “Re: Faith (S3) vs Buffy (S6)”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet):

(Buffy the Vampire Slayer fandom slang) A fan of the character Spike from the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

2016, Patrice A. Loar, "'On the Cusp of Half-Remembered Prophecies': Interpreting Prophecy in George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire", thesis submitted to the University of New Orleans, page 4

We aim to solve this problem by calculating the mass of Drogon from his size, and then estimating the lift that his wings would be able to generate, assuming that gravity on Planetos is the same as on Earth.

Caryl

2016, Wayne Yuen, “Gruesome Walkers”, in Wayne Yuen, editor, The Ultimate Walking Dead and Philosophy: Hungry for More, page 247:

Richonne just seemed like something all of Tumblr was screaming for but might not ever happen (like Caryl, though I'm still gunning for that one), but now it's actually real.

Ships are often given names, such as HMS Harmony (for Harry Potter and Hermione Grange from the Harry Potter universe) or Zutara (for Zuko and Katara, characters from the animated television show Avatar: The Last Airbender).

2016, Aaron Schwabach, Fan Fiction and Copyright: Outsider Works and Intellectual Property Protection, page 11:

Konietzko, for his part, suggests a great awareness: “There were plenty of Makorra shippers out there, so if we had gone back on our decision and gotten those characters back together, would that have meant we caved in to those fans instead?....Trust me, I remember Kataang vs. Zutara.”

Jater

The Jaters and Skaters started out like any other shipper groups, but as the seasons have progressed, so has the intensity level of the group members.

2008, Jon Lachonis, Amy J. Johnston, Lost Ate My Life: The Inside Story of a Fandom Like No Other, unnumbered page:

For five years, spanning a few hookups and many breakups, there was no answer – until the show made up its mind for the 'Jaters.'

2010, Robert Dougherty, Lost: It Only Ends Once: An Unofficial Last Look, page 240:

Bethyl

For fans of the “Bethyl” romance, this would also allow Daryl to carry on a relationship with Beth free of the guilt of hurting Carol’s feelings.

2014 November 17, Lindsay Putnam, “Who will be the next to die on ‘The Walking Dead’?”, in New York Post:

While there are many die-hard Caryl and Bethyl shippers who have argued for Daryl’s heterosexuality, others have maintained that Daryl is gay.

2014 December 1, Amanda Michelle Steiner, “The Walking Dead: Creator Robert Kirkman Finally Reveals Daryl's Sexuality”, in People:

And before you know it, you've exploded vicious rhetoric on some poor Bethyl shipper on Tumblr who never saw it coming.

Suliet

The Suliet and Skate “shippers” (those who want to see Sawyer and Juliet or Sawyer and Kate together) went to war about whether Juliet was right or not.

2009, Nikki Stafford, Finding Lost, Season Five, unnumbered page:

If you’re a Suliet fan, then the defining moment is probably the dock scene from “LaFleur,” when Sawyer — using all his impossible powers of charm — convinces Juliet to stay on the island for just two more weeks.

2013 March 22, Darren Franich, “'Lost': Sawyer, Kate, and Juliet - Best TV Couple of All Time?”, in Entertainment Weekly:

But her heartfelt proclamation of love for Sawyer and his reaction to her imminent demise made many of us dig Suliet for the first (and last) time.

Vulcan salute

From Vulcan (“(attributively) inhabitant of the fictional planet Vulcan in the television series Star Trek”) + salute. The gesture was devised by the American actor Leonard Nimoy (1931–2015) who portrayed the half-Vulcan character Spock in the television series Star Trek (originally broadcast 1966–1969); he first used it in “Amok Time”, the first episode of the second season aired on September 15, 1967.

Sarek turned to the others, now offering the Vulcan salute. "Captain Kirk, Dr. McCoy, may you live long and prosper." / "Thank you, and the same to you, Mr. Ambassador," said Kirk, managing to force his hand into the proper position.

For what would soon become known as the Vulcan salute, I borrowed a hand signal from Orthodox Judaism. During the High Holiday services, the Kohanim (who are the priests) bless those in attendance. As they do, they extend the palms of both hands over the congregation, with thumbs outstretched and the middle and ring fingers parted so that each hand forms two vees. This gesture symbolizes the Hebrew letter shin, the first letter in the word Shaddai; in the Jewish Qabala, shin also represents eternal Spirit.

bonnet ripper

Blend of bonnet + bodice ripper. From being a genre of romance having women wearing bonnets, and frequently shown on the covers wearing such; whose characters harken back to the historical settings of bodice rippers.

[…] or you're reading a bonnet ripper about Jebediah the Amish farmer casting his steely gaze at Abigail the spinster, […]

2018, “How to Be a Perfect Christian: Your Comprehensive Guide to Flawless Spiritual Living”, in The Babylon Bee, Crown Publishing Group:

The bonnet-ripper usually features a female protagonist who comes from an Amish or Mennonite background.

2017, Bernice M. Murphy, Key Concepts in Contemporary Popular Fiction, Edinburgh University Press:

In her article in the Los Angeles Review of Books, Valerie Weaver-Zercher, author of Thrill of the Chaste: The Allure of Amish Romance Novels, educates readers on the phenomenon of the bonnet ripper.

2015, Jack Holmes Jr., New in Anabaptist Studies, Johns Hopkins University Press:

The dubious appeal of the bonnet-ripper: "His warm, gentle lips moved over hers, and she returned the favor, until Hannah thought they might both take flight right then and there. Finally desperate for air, they parted."

2009, Michelle Legro, “Semi-sweet Wallace Shawn, Dining with John Irving”, in The New Yorker Magazine:

What do you get when you cross bodice rippers with Amish fiction? That’s right, bonnet rippers.

2013, Husna Haq, “'Bonnet rippers'? Amish romances are only gaining in popularity”, in Christian Science Monitor:

Bonnet Rippers. I LOVE it. An update on the bodice ripper, but so much more chaste.

2013, Rebecca Armstrong, “Bonnet rippers: a new kind of romantic fiction”, in The Independent:

A work in a genre of romantic fiction and Christian fiction that presents chaste representations of romantic love, where the most intimate action may be the removal of a bonnet or other similarly chaste actions.

It also established Miskatonic University and Arkham as key locations in Lovecraft Country

2014, Paul Roland, The Curious Case of H.P. Lovecraft, Plexus Publishing, →ISBN:

Very early, he started to create Lovecraft country; a geography of terror that came to include “witch-haunted Arkham” and “shadowed Innsmouth," places he describes in such minute detail that ingénues in Lovecraft lore, for almost a century now, have often assumed these places could be located on maps of Massachuesetts and set out in search of them.

2016, W. Scott Poole, In the Mountains of Madness:

Lovecraft's writing has inspired games as well: a popular role-playing game, The Call of Cthulhu, is set within Lovecraft country, the blend of fictional and real locales, mostly in New England, in which he set his tales.

Gileadean

en-adj

Gileadean (comparative more Gileadean, superlative most Gileadean)

more Gileadean (comparative)
most Gileadean (superlative)

Strictly speaking, it was not a manuscript at all when first discovered, and bore no title. The superscription “The Handmaid’s Tale” was appended to it by Professor Wade, partly in homage to the great Geoffrey Chaucer; but those of you who know Professor Wade informally, as I do, will understand when I say that I am sure all puns were intentional, particularly that having to do with the archaic vulgar signification of the word tail; that being, to some extent, the bone, as it were, of contention, in that phase of Gileadean society of which our saga treats.

1985, Margaret Atwood, “Historical Notes”, in The Handmaid’s Tale, Toronto, Ont.: McClelland and Stewart, →ISBN, page 313:

It is certainly no accident that Offred emphasizes the large collection of books she observes in her first secret unofficial visit to the Commander's study, thus linking books directly with this serious transgression of Gileadean law.

1995, M. Keith Booker, A Practical Introduction to Literary Theory and Criticism, page 262:

To equate the Gileadean repression of Offred's voice with Pieixoto's reconstruction of it is to narrow the set of possible meanings too much.

1998, John Whalen-Bridge, Political Fiction and the American Self, page 180:

The central preoccupation of the Gileadean society is human reproduction, because most members are sterile or infertile due to the build-up of toxic wastes and nuclear fallout.

1999, Virginia Olessen, Revisioning Women, Health and Healing: Feminist, Cultural, and Technoscience Perspectives, page 234:

Of, related to, or characteristic of the fictional theocratic dystopian nation of Gilead in Margaret Atwood's 1985 novel The Handmaid's Tale.


Gileadean

If I may be permitted an editorial aside, allow me to say that in my opinion we must be cautious about passing moral judgement upon the Gileadeans.

1985, Margaret Atwood, “Historical Notes”, in The Handmaid’s Tale, Toronto, Ont.: McClelland and Stewart, →ISBN, page 314:

Not surprisingly, the Gileadeans immediately distanced themselves from this act by blaming the massacre on Islamic extremists.

2010, J. Brooks Bouson, editor, Critical Insights: The Handmaid’s Tale, Salem Press, →ISBN, page 61:

The classification of the Gileadeans, for example, is explicitly based on the biblical story of Jacob, Rachel, and Bilhah (Genesis 30:1–3), with the Commanders officially assuming the role of Jacob, the Wives thereby being given the role of Rachel, and the Handmaids that of Bilhah.

2017, Maria Christou, “Food in Margaret Atwood’s Dystopias”, in Eating Otherwise: The Philosophy of Food in Twentieth-Century Literature, Cambridge University Press, →ISBN, page 123:

Both Gileadeans and contemporary want-to-be parents foster genetic information as the imperative condition to define the baby belonging to its family, its identity, and, in consequence, familiar relationships.

2023, Esther Muñoz-González, Posthumanity in the Anthropocene: Margaret Atwood’s Dystopias (Routledge Studies in Contemporary Literature), Routledge, →ISBN:

An inhabitant of the fictional theocratic dystopian nation of Gilead in Margaret Atwood's 1985 novel The Handmaid's Tale.

Attested only in the Physiologus, transliterating Ancient Greek ἀνθόλοψ (anthólops), mistakenly reading αν- (an-) as αυ- (au-). Attested with numerous corrupted variant readings.

Է երէ ինչ, որ կոչի աւթողոփոս (var. թողոքայ, թոզռիայ, աթողփողք, ութողփոքր)․ գազան սաստիկ էրէ․ մինչ որսորդաց չէ հնար զնա ի բուռն արկանել։ Եղջիւրս ունի երկայնս եւ սղոցաձեւս, մինչեւ զծառս մեծամեծս եւ բարձունս սղոցել․ եւ յորժամ ծարաւեսցի, գնայ յԱրածանի գետ եւ ըմբէ ջուր։

5th century, with changes and additions in later centuries, Baroyaxōs [Physiologus] Earliest recension (TR).3.1–4

There is an animal called autholops, an exceedingly fierce animal; until the hunters are unable to catch it. It has long horns in the shape of a saw, so that it is able to saw very large and high trees. And when it is thirsty, it goes to the river Aracani and drinks water.


ἀνθόλοψ

Some of the descendants have mistakenly read αν- (an-) as αυ- (au-).

→ Classical Syriac: ܐܘܬܘܠܘܦܣ (/ˀwtwlwps/)

→ Medieval Latin: antalopus, anthalopus, antilops, authalopum, antaplon, aptalon, analopos

→ Old Armenian: աւթողոփոս (awtʻołopʻos)
→ Old Georgian: ავთოლოფოსი (avtoloposi)

The origin is unknown. The word superficially resembles ᾰ̓́νθος (ánthos) + ὤψ (ṓps) and some older authorities suggested this as the etymology, but there is reason to think it is instead a corruption of some other, possibly foreign, word.

bedroom pop

Among the inscrutable terms invented to parse the stylistic subtleties of rock music, “bedroom pop” stands out as an elegantly descriptive coinage. The bedroom in question refers not to the content of the songs but to where they’re produced. These are solo projects, sort of like writing in a diary or sketching on a pad, and in New York, there is practically an epidemic of the stuff.

[2006 January 26, Hugo Lindgren, “Garbagehead Revisited”, in New York:

The Oakland, Calif., singer and songwriter Melina Duterte, who calls her D.I.Y. bedroom pop project Jay Som, does it all.

2017 March 22, Joe Coscarelli, “Jay Som Brings Her D.I.Y. Bedroom Pop to Brooklyn”, in The New York Times:

“We’re straying from the idea of bedroom pop sonically but ‘Fake It Flowers’ was still me writing songs here,” Kristi said, motioning toward walls filled with photos of friends, a tricolor tapestry and iconic posters of Tom Hanks from the film “Big” and the Beatles at Abbey Road.

2020 October 8, David Peisner, “beabadoobee Made Bedroom Pop. Now She’s Turning Up the Volume.”, in New York Times:

(music) A musical genre or aesthetic in which bands record at home, rather than at traditional recording spaces.


mumble rap

From mumble + rap. First coined by hip hop artist Wiz Khalifa in 2016 during an interview.

coinage

Derided by some, artists such as Future and Migos have been wildly successful mumble rap artists.

2018, Nick J. Sciullo, Communicating Hip-Hop: How Hip-Hop Culture Shapes Popular Culture, page 40:

"Mumble rap" is the most active and vigorous scapegoat rap has had in years, in part because the internet — particularly social media — has created a landscape for it to thrive and be a hotly debated topic, engaging in the ideas of language and whether or not rappers should have to adhere to them, or whether or not this so-called mumble rap is actually pushing the genre forward, past some of its bowing to establishments.

2019, Hanif Abdurraqib, Go Ahead in the Rain: Notes to A Tribe Called Quest, page 201:

The logical culmination of this tendency is today's mumble rap, featuring rhythmically monotonous phrasal and verbal repetition, strongly auto-tuned and, in some cases, literally mumbled.

2020, Macklin Smith, Aurko Joshi, Rhymes in the Flow: How Rappers Flip the Beat, page 256:

There was an exciting proliferation of punk rap, mumble rap, emo rap and trap-influenced SoundCloud artists.

2020, Adrian Besley, Billie Eilish: From e-girl to Icon, Michael O'Mara Books, →ISBN:

(music) A microgenre of hip hop with mumbling or unclear vocal delivery by artists, and may generally refer to rappers who do not share the genre's typical emphasis on lyricism.

jazzistic

Hubbard next offered a slow rendering of "Embraceable You," a warmly romantic yet still exciting and jazzistic interpretation, something he is uniquely capable of achieving.

1991, International Association of Jazz Record Collectors, IAJRC Journal, volumes 24-25:

While some films merely "include" jazz on their soundtracks, others, such as Shirley Clarke's Harlem Story, or Cassavetes' Shadows, or Rivette's L'Amour Fou, or Kiarostami's Ten, are formally jazzistic.

2015, Robert Stam, Richard Porton, Leo Goldsmith, Keywords in Subversive Film/Media Aesthetics:
