reverse fictionary asides

Hello all!
 Two asides regarding the reverse-fictionary game:
 
1. I personally thought that the proper definition for "esquivalience" was 
"the degree to which a piece of music resembles Latin-flavored orchestral 
pop music of the late 1950s and 1960s." (See 
http://www.spaceagepop.com/esquivel.htm for more info.)

 2. For that matter, I seem to have taken it into my head that 
"cartographer's fraud" is a universally understood term, but it apparently 
appears in no dictionary. How ironic. Does anyone know if there is a 
universally-recognized term that fits the definition (the practice of 
deliberately introducing errors into published maps for purposes of 
establishing and defending its copyright)?
 Later,
James
