Is there a term for this or do we need to invent it?

When you need to cut wrapping paper, to do it quickly, you slowly close the scissors until they are about halfway & on the first cut of the paper & then with a little force & speed (keeping the paper taut), you can push & cut right through the whole paper without having to keep flexing the scissor blades to make cut after cut. Is there a term for this or do we need to invent it? Because I feel that it is such a wonderful action that needs a term to describe it. If there isn’t a term for it, I’d like to nominate, ‘Slizzing’. Pronounce the ‘zz’ as if it were Italian, like in pizza or mezzoforte. I feel that accurately represents the action.
