the image that goes with it is of an object breaking up into raster lines
and static and then dissolving. Occasionally used of a person who seems to
have suddenly &#8216;fuzzed out&#8217; mentally rather than physically.
Usage: extremely silly, also rare. This verb was actually invented as
<span class="emphasis"><em>fictional</em></span> hacker jargon, and adopted in a spirit of
irony by real hackers years after the fact. </p></dd><dd><p> 2. <span class="grammar">vt.</span> The Macintosh resource
decompiler. On a Macintosh, many program structures (including the code
itself) are managed in small segments of the program file known as
<span class="firstterm">resources</span>; <span class="firstterm">Rez</span> and <span class="firstterm">DeRez</span> are a pair of utilities for compiling and
decompiling resource files. Thus, decompiling a resource is <span class="firstterm">derezzing</span>.
