Danger-esque, Tarentino-esque, John Woo-esque. Any use of this makes me smile, especially when it really doesn't fit in with the rets of the sentence.

If you don't like a single Frank Ocean song, you have no soul.

He fights the law. But he also fights the crime, but not as much. Dangeresque.

Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember them, you are not alone.

Kafkaesque is one of the greatest words in the history of language, so yeah I agree.

You can't even write racist abuse in excrement on somebody's car without the politically correct brigade jumping down your throat!

Shakespeareesque is an ugly ass word to type.

An early album by Teenage Fanclub was called Bandwagonesque. Certainly memorable.
