Definitions

1

A derisive insider term for voguing done badly — using the moves with no formal training and no roots in ballroom culture. It's vogue cosplay. The word was coined in 2019 by ballroom icons Leiomy Maldonado and Dashaun Wesley, who used it to mock people (notably Drag Race queens) who butcher the dance and the terminology — saying 'death drop' instead of 'dip,' 'shablam' instead of 'shawam.' You're not voguing, you're noguing.

“Half the people on that stage weren't voguing, they were noguing — Leiomy would have something to say.”
