Talk:steezy

A proposed etymology

Charlie9933's unsupported etymology (i.e., that (deprecated template usage) steezy derives from steez, which is itself a portmanteau of style + ease) is not entirely implausible. (deprecated template usage) Steez seems to exist with a meaning, I infer largely from an argumentum ad etymologiam, something like that of sprezzatura. One would expect, from their derivations, that the spellings steasy and stease, respectively (as well as a number of intermediate forms) would also be attestable; the Urban Dictionary *shudders* has both (deprecated template usage) stease and (deprecated template usage) steasy, FWIW. If anyone can find citations of (deprecated template usage) steez, (deprecated template usage) steasy, and (deprecated template usage) stease, the etymology may be readdable in some form. — Raifʻhār Doremítzwr ~ (U · T · C) ~ 23:05, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

steezy

Current def doesn't fit the cites, which are not unrepresentative of other usage in news etc. DCDuring TALK 03:27, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

• We have a new definition now, which looks pretty steezily written. --Gente como tú (talk) 12:44, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
