de-rezz
de-rezz
(jargon)/dee-rez'/ (Or "derez") "de-resolve" via the film
"Tron". 1. To disappear or dissolve; the image that goes with
it is of an object breaking up into raster lines and static
and then dissolving. Occasionally used of a person who seems
to have suddenly "fuzzed out" mentally rather than physically.
Usage: extremely silly, also rare. This verb was actually
invented as *fictional* hacker jargon, and adopted in a spirit
of irony by real hackers years after the fact.
2. The Macintosh resource decompiler. On a Macintosh, many program structures (including the code itself) are managed in small segments of the program file known as "resources"; "Rez" and "DeRez" are a pair of utilities for compiling and decompiling resource files. Thus, decompiling a resource is "derezzing". Usage: very common.
