Get the etceteraphobia mug.etceterizing (verb) *et· ce· ter· iz· ing | \ et-ˈse-tə-rī-zing *
The act of adopting a sing-song or melodic cadence, where rhythm shifts from speaking to singing just before listing multiple items. This vocal modulation is often used to express tediousness or monotony, humorously embellishing or truncating the narration of a list. Etceterizing has largely replaced the once common use of "etcetera" in spoken language, offering a more lively way to imply that what you're saying might be considered obvious by the audience.

Get the etceterizing mug.In the tradition of mock-Latin, Etceteini was a late twentieth century coining created to refer to the ecosystem of the numerous small-volume Italian sports & racing cars built in the early post-war years. A portmanteau word, the construct being etcete(ra) + ini, the idea was to summon the idea of “many, some obscure” with an Italianesque flavor. Credit for the coining is claimed by both John de Boer and Stu Schaller. Although in wide informal use in the collector car community and appearing often in specialist glossaries, registry websites, and niche discussion forums, no mainstream dictionaries have yet acknowledged the word.
