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
