Entry: anticraze (n.)
In context: "Another large loose group is dancing in the cleared space between the cluster of directorial chairs and the bedroom door, most favoring the Y.D.A.U.'s Minimal Mambo, this autumn's East Coast anticraze, the dancers appearing to be just this side of standing still, the subtlest possible hints of fingers snapping under right-angled elbows."
Definition: This entry and the next are obvious neologisms, but to my ears they deserve recognition. Definitions don't need to be spelled out.
