plusing
n.— «Plusing the Show: The term refers to simply making something better than it is. I have a vivid memory of “Plusing the Show” at Disney. My peers would give me their recommendations as to how they could improve my presentations.…After every presentation, no matter how successful, I would review my performance (the show) to see how I could “plus it.”» —by Jim Poisant Creating and Sustaining a Superior Customer Service Organization Oct. 30, 2001.
