  • A tongue-in-cheek portmanteau of queasy and Tiffen's Steadicam technology, referring to the saccadic camera motion some film directors employ to give their movies a sense of energy. Many viewers feel it's unnecessary and nauseating to watch. The word was coined in response to the Bourne trilogy, specifically The Bourne Ultimatum, which is an example of the technique taken to a new extreme.
