A cheesy homage, as when a film-maker, writer, or artist is honoring with good humor or charm a previous artform, work, or artist that is normally considered inferior or "cheesy." A "fromage" is half mocking the original but half recreating the original's unique charm.
Kill Bill, Volumes 1 and 2, are Tarantino's fromage to the kung fu classics he grew up with.
Iron Chef America mirrors the Japanese original, but because it can't recreate the silly translations and voice-over work, it's more a serious remake than a fromage.
Alex Ross's comic book art seems to be a fromage to Norman Rockwell paintings.

Get the fromage mug.(n.) The game that is played when one meets a large group of people that are walking towards you as you walk towards them. One must dodge, dip, maneuver, and elude to attempt to not walk into others, as knocking into someone else will lead to dirty looks.
It's similar to zombie maneuvering, but is generally less post-apocolyptic.

Dude, between third and fourth period, I was totally hallway froggering when trying to get into the library.
*realizes some serious hallway froggering will begin* I had a feeling it would end this way.

Get the hallway frogger mug.n. An aggressive freeway driver who jumps from lane to lane, hoping to shave precious seconds off their commute, and who is likely to be crushed by a truck someday. They can also be spotted following dangerously close behind other vehicles when there is no room to pass.
The Frogger cut off dozens of drivers on his way to work, saving a whopping 2 minutes. Later, he was hit by lightning and nobody cried.

Get the frogged mug.Fromage Fridays is when you enjoy your anthem/80s/hair band music (because it's so cheesy it ranks as AWESOME!), and you've set aside a specific playlist for this weekly ritual. It's important to rock Friday properly, and it's kinda hard to do without Halen or Jovi.
Even better if you can find a radio station that specializes in 80s rock music. That way you will be guaranteed some solid tunage on the way to work. The radio station is also critical in the throwback experience. Much like seeing a creature in its natural habitat.
Preferably Fromage Friday music begins early in the day and lasts until about noon. Then it's time to start incorporating some of the real world (ie other music) back into your life. Slowly, at first, so you don't buzzkill.

Friend: Wow...some hair style this morning dude.
You: I was cruisin' to work, windows down on the Z, riffin' with Halen. I gotta have the window down when I windmill, man, so I have full arm extension. Ed at The Q rocks Fromage Fridays hard, man. His list is par excellante. I'm willing to sacrifice the locks in order to get my Friday buzz goin' with my Fromage Friday music experience, dude.
I'm stoked for the weekend now, man.
