This all-too-common phenomenon occurs when acceptable levels of cheesiness are surpassed. Examples of this would be: manipulative tear-jerker chick flicks, the florid prose of your average Hallmark card, Cher parading around an aircraft carrier in a thong howling Do You Believe in Love?!, Brad Pitt's pecs in Legends of the Fall, "you had me at hello", "Nobody puts Baby in the corner", the entire Titanic screenplay...ok, you get the idea.

Anything that exceeds mere cheesiness enters into the cheesott zone. It's something that moves you in spite of your awareness that it is trying to move you. Most Hallmark cards, with their overly sentimental and maudlin prose, qualify, as do manipulative tear jerker chick flicks, lines like "Nobody puts Baby in a corner" and "You had me at hello", and anything from Titanic, including the video to My Heart Will Go On--watching Celine Dion beat her bony little chest gets me every time. It's a perfect storm--the cheesiest performer performing the cheesiest song. Cheesott heaven. Seeing Cher bounce around an aircraft carrier wearing a thong and howling "Do You Believe in Love?!" fits the bill. William Hung channeling Ricky Martin is a cheesott sandwich. You get the idea.
When Jess first heard Wind Beneath My Wings she said to herself, damn, that song is Cheesott (as she wiped the tears from her face).
