Actually, I was think that demi-pornography is when you're only half naked.

"Demimounds" or "demimons", TEdRem?

I do agree.

It's like seeing the molehills without the moles.

How about "demi-retired"?

Nowadays being "semi-retired" means you got "downsized" and you're looking for full-time work.

"Demi-retired" means you are working part-time as a matter of choice, and you're having the time of your life.

How about?

demi-dotage

As in: Demi-retirement usually leads to demi-dotage.

After that, there's not much point in putting a gloss on it. Demi-comatose, demi-dead. You see what I mean.
