In the fashion world, it means to make something better, generally by tweaking or quirking it to better fit what it's supposed to do both functionally and artistically. It's become most popular due to its frequent use on the hit Bravo show Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, usually by their fashion guru Carson Kressly. It is very hard to pronounce, and even harder to spell, many times often misspelled 'jujj' or 'jooj'. Pronounced "zhuj", by the way.
Carson: "Just tszuj it a little, and you're set!"

souichi tsujii, (not to be confused with shuichi saihara), is a character created by Junji Ito, a Japanese horror author. souichi tsujii is an 11 year old boy who loves curses and voodoo magic, and will put a curse on anyone that is hated, by him or other people (ultimately this is just an excuse to curse people). souichi constantly bites/chews on iron nails because he suffers from anemia. he also hates his older brother Koichi and his cousin Michina and likes to scare his sister Sayuri. even though he likes to cause mischief, he’s baby and he should be protected.
Person 1: Souichi Tsujii is a brat.

Person 2: No he’s not! He is a cinnamon roll that must be protected at all costs. Sure he curses people, but that’s just part of who he is! He’s just quirky like that.
Person 1: Whatever you say, bro.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
