Jooster

Jooster it the name given to slash fictions that include the characters Jeeves and Bertie Wooster of P.G. Wodehouse novels and the television series Jeeves & Wooster, in which the two men are personified by Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie respectively. Jooster ('J' from 'Jeeves' and 'ooster' from 'Wooster') fics always include either the suggestion or actual mention of love between Jeeves and Wooster at some point in the story. Otherwise, the fictions are known only as Jeeves & Wooster fics. (Note: There are no such fics as 'Beeves'.)

Bertie simply couldn't bear it any longer. He launched himself off the sofa and stood in front of his man.

"Oh, Jeeves, dash it all, I love you!"
"I love you too, Sir." Jeeves replied, the corners of his mouth rising one-sixteenth of an inch.
"And this restorative. Why, it's absolutely topping!" Bertie shouted as he waved the emptied glass towards Jeeves.

"I endeavour to give satisfaction, Sir."

zhush or joosh

zhush (ĵ as in the French je + “oosh”) is a word whose usage dates as far back as 1968 in Britain. Its spelling, much like its origin, is elusive. It has been defined by the American Dialect Society (who placed it on their 2003 Word of the Year List) as a verb to mean “primp or fluff up”. Today, it appears in the pop lingo of certain queer makeover shows to mean “making something striking or flamboyant”. Either way, OUTwrites’ début collection zhushes up the LGBTI community of Toronto through its chorus of eight distinct voices.
