bel·i·chick·y adjective [bel-e-CHIK-ee] : an athletes’ or coaches’ bland, emotionless response to questions at press conferences, denying reporters any insight or valuable quotes; also : degrading the value (if any at all) of a press conference to absolutely zero.

“We don’t think about it too much, I’m sorry to be Belickicky. But we don’t think about it too much to be honest with you. It’s not something we focus on as players. Its more talked about outside of our circles more than it is inside.” — Kobe Bryant, founder, June 11, 2008 on NBA refs and calling fouls.

Belichicky : derived from legendary New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, after spending his career making awkward moments at press conferences with one-word answers.
