2.

Jellicle is a word created by Andrew Lloyd Webber in his hit musical "Cats". It is a word that has vast meaning yet... is indescribable. Jellicle cats are thought to be superior over other street cat, though what actually constitutes a Jellicle cat is unknown.

The introduction of "Cats" uses Jellicle word multiple times. Seems to be a term of superiority.

See cats, musical, cool
