Rissame is a prefix to a weak excuse for not going into work or for being late. Similar to a sickie but usually a lame excuse. Common examples include rissametrain for a cancelled or late train, rissamecough because you have a cough or coughed twice last night, and rissameshower because your shower is broken (or so your boss is meant to believe).

A cultural and aesthetic mind-state that prioritizes making money, even as an “underground” or “radical” creator. The work isn’t made for money, but it’s the money that matters the most.
