The Sundance Croup
A term for the rattling cough virtually every Sundance attendee sports by the end of the festival regardless of how many green-tea infusions, vitamins, and herbal remedies he's imbibed. Often touted as a badge of festival pride or Sundancennui, as in Man, I hit five screenings, four parties, and the slopes yesterday. No wonder I've got the Sundance croup.

Tweener
A film that's demographically hard to sell as an art-house title because it contains too many conventional elements, but also lacks the ingredients for a mainstream release. To wit: Sundance distributors think this year's festival is chock-full of tweeners with an inflated sense of their market value.
