hommage 

n. a word used in the entertainment industry to mean a respectful reference or tribute to someone or something else in the industry; for example, a remake film might make an hommage to the original.

The word is pronounced "oe-MAZH". Originally the word was one and the same as homage (pronounced "OM-ij" or "HOM-ij"), but filmmakers started thinking this word ("homage") was borrowed from French (which it is not), and wanted to sound sophisticated or more accurate, so they started pronouncing it as though it were French. When the people tasked with writing things down realized you couldn't spell the sound "oe-MAZH" as "homage", they wisely decided to use the French version of the word ("hommage"), and thus filmmakers avoided scathing ridicule for not knowing how to pronounce an honest English word.

Lady Gaga makes an hommage to Alfred Hitchcock in her song "Bad Romance" by saying, "I want your psycho, your vertigo schtick—want you in my rear window, baby you're sick."

paying homage to the porcelain goddess 

The ritual of getting on one's knees and discharging the smelly contents of the stomach into the toilet.

I was paying much homage to the porcelain goddess this morning because I drank too much of the Beast.

making an homage 

1) Like the great artist Nick Simmons is prone to do, making homages to the magma that inspired him to create Incarnate

2) blatantly tracing artwork

It's not art theft if you change a character's hair color -- it's making an homage.
