Is there a term for this or do we need to invent it?

Asked by rpm_pseud0name (8208points) April 18th, 2010

When you need to cut wrapping paper, to do it quickly, you slowly close the scissors until they are about halfway & on the first cut of the paper & then with a little force & speed (keeping the paper taut), you can push & cut right through the whole paper without having to keep flexing the scissor blades to make cut after cut. Is there a term for this or do we need to invent it? Because I feel that it is such a wonderful action that needs a term to describe it. If there isn’t a term for it, I’d like to nominate, ‘Slizzing’. Pronounce the ‘zz’ as if it were Italian, like in pizza or mezzoforte. I feel that accurately represents the action.
