1. de rezz
[from ‘de-resolve’ via the movie
Tron] (also derez) 1. vi. 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. vt. 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.
