Kayfabe
In professional wrestling, kayfabe is the portrayal of events within the industry as “real.” That is, the portrayal of professional wrestling as being genuine or not worked. Referring to events or interviews as being a “work” means that the event/interview has been “kayfabed” or staged, and/or is part of a wrestling angle while being passed off as legitimate.
This “Best of Wikipedia” blog is very well done, and I’m sure it’s harder to do then one might think.
In the last year or so, I’ve learned that there’s a whole dictionary of terms associated with professional wrestling. While I don’t find it terribly entertaining, the philosophical implications of a “partial break of kayfabe” are fun to explore.
