Titanicking

A word used in the editing process that refers to when someone writes something with characters, such as a book, play or movie, where character names are repeated way too often and/or an unrealistic amount, inevitably ruining the immersion for the reader and value and flow of the writing.

The word is in reference to the movie Titanic, when Jack and Rose said each other's names way too many times. It also refers to the writing sinking like the ship did.

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
