Simon Doonan--he, of the "naff" citation--is now giving us "szhoosh." I'm not sold. I think he's trying to pull our legs to get a ridiculous slang term introduced. But still, that's how some terms are introduced.
From the NEW YORK OBSERVER, 29 January 2001, pg. 15, col. 1:
_The Winter Antiques Szhoosh_
New York has always been the epicenter of _szhoosh_. What's szhoosh? It's interior decorating vernacular meaning "to gussie up lavishly" or, as a noun, "that which has been gussied up lavishly."
