n. an honor, tribute, or respectful reference to someone or something.
The word is pronounced "OM-ij" or "HOM-ij", not "oe-MAZH", as is popular in the entertainment industry. This erroneous pronunciation came about when people starting thinking the word was French and wanted to sound sophisticated. The word is not French. It comes from Middle English, then from Old French, which was not pronounced the same as modern French. The French word for homage is "hommage" (with two m's).

Get the pay homage mug.a random word, used to disguise the secret code of discussion between men, when nosey females are near by, this word can be used to say pretty much anything, hello, goodbye, good morning, want a beer, need a beer. By changing the tone in which you say the ending it can mean something bad, example when you see an ugly person, if you grind your teeth and growl while saying deesh, its understood that you are not pleased or somewhat disgusted
