gaycrat

For the hysterical, homoerotiphobic ire which has been building up, in the form of rejection via referenda, as well as in acts of violence against individuals […] is principally focused now on gay radicals, socialists, communists, prison activists, and other not-so-easily-categorized mavericks of the Lavender Left. […] The tidy Gaycrats, conformists and ostensibly comfortable Closet Queens of our land do not generally arouse the same kind of concentrated fear and loathing as do those who are blatant, flagrant, and underdog-defending.

1978 December 16, John Paul Hudson, “In Memoriam”, in Gay Community News, volume 6, number 21, page 5:

For all the accusations that have been heaped upon the "gaycrat" reformers of the 70s, it should be pointed out that all of the concrete signs of progress in our movement—repeal of sodomy statutes, changes in city and state anti-discrimination laws, bringing our faces out from behind potted palms that used to obscure them on television shows, fairer housing practices, the opening of public accommodations, the proliferation of a gay press, the advent of gay studies—can be attributed to gays.

Hoping to appease the Christian right and the Clinton administration, gaycrats from Barney Frank on down join Jesse Helms in calling on the International Lesbian and Gay Association to expel the North American Man/Boy Love Association the only U.S. group active in the ILGA for more than a decade. But heterosexual supremacists object to all varieties of homosexuality, not just this or that subgroup.

Tadpoles and frogs were my next fancy; the intermediate stage known in the family as "frogpole" pleased me most.

1970, Blackwood's Magazine, volume 307, William Blackwood, page 547:

Since it could not feed because its digestive tract was incompletely transformed, its life as a “frogpole" lasted only a few weeks.

They determined different visual pigments in three developmental stages: in the tadpole (no matter whether legless or with hindlegs and almost fully developed forelegs), in the frogpole (the stage of almost completed metamorphosis), and finally in the adult frog (Section V,B,3,a).

1978 April 11, G. H. Bourne, J. F. Danielli, K.W. Jeon, International Review of Cytology: Volume 50, volume 50, Academic Press, →ISBN, page 128:

As they undergo the transformation of metamorphosis from tadpole to adult, there comes an awkward juvenile stage that for frogs has been called “froglet” or “toadlet”, and even “frogiwog” or “frogpole." First the rear legs appear, then the front limbs. The tail and gills are absorbed for food and lungs develop; now the tadpole surfaces for air.

“He's only got on frog leg, and who knows what stage he'll be in for the competition next week. Will he be a one-legged tadpole? Or a three-legged frog? Or in the middle, a two-legged frogpole?” “Actually, there's no such thing as a frogpole,” Robert chimed in. “In science circles, we know that once the front arms pop out, the amphibian becomes known as a froglet.”

namakier

Blend of Persian نمک (namak, “salt”) + glacier. First use appears c. 1970. See cite below.

blend

Namakiers represent large, recumbent sheath folds underlain and flanked by rigid bedrock and overlain by air.

1970, University of Texas, Bureau of Economic Geology (contributor), Report of Investigations - Issues 142-146, page 18:

Hence the namakier consists of a stack of overlapping tongues.

1987, Munn & Company (contributor), Scientific American - Volume 257, page 79:

Most salt extrusions rising on high ground are asymmetric and feed only one namakier.

1998, Andrew C. Scott, Derek John Blundell (editors), Lyell - The Past is the Key to the Present, page 320:

Small ephemeral features, including shallow caves, are typical of the salt glacier surface, but in an active namakier the salt is flowing too fast to preserve them.

2006, John K. Warren, Evaporites: Sediments, Resources and Hydrocarbons, page 471:

From Farsi for "mountain of salt," a namakier is perhaps more accurately described as a glacier of salt that can flow over the land surface as fast as inches per year, rivaling its icy counterparts for speed.

fracktivist

The industry objects to this misuse of the term and has adopted the spelling "frac" (without the k) to distinguish themselves from shale gas opponents, many of whom proudly self-identify as "fracktivists.”

2019, Daniel J. Soeder, Scyller J. Borglum, The Fossil Fuel Revolution: Shale Gas and Tight Oil, page 175:

According to recent research, the emotional shock tactics used by fracktivists allied with other social movements have helped them dampen, albeit temporarily, hopes for the safety of fracturing gas or oil, with an overemphasis on the alleged risks of hydraulic fracturing.

2021, Constantin Cranganu, Climate Change, Torn between Myth and Fact, page 255:

A little over two years before she stood in front of the U.S. Capitol unveiling the Green New Deal, AOC was a "fracktivist” who saw a connection between Standing Rock and her own underserved, majority-minority home-town.

The fact that Brooklyn is full of both bearded Jews and bearded hipsters can be confusing, leading to a rise in websites like Hasid or Hipster.

ombrifuge

Possibly a blend of ombro- + refuge or directly from ombro- + -i- + -fuge. Known to be first used by Robert Browning in 1869.

The belfry proves a fortress of a sort, / Has other uses than to teach the hour, / Turns sunscreen, paravent and ombrifuge.

1869, Robert Browning, “The Pope” (chapter X), in The Ring and the Book, volume IV, Smith, Elder & Co., page 21, line 465:

And so forth; and, complete with hat and gloves, / One on and one a-dangle i, my hand, / And ombrifuge (Lord love you !), case o' rain, / I flopped forth, 'sbuddikins! on my own ten toes, […]

1872, Charles Stuart Calverley, “The Cock and the Bull”, in Fly Leaves, 3rd edition, New York: Henry Holt and Company, page 115:

And truly a very remarkable year was that, well-nigh two centuries ago, when the first Ombrifuge, or Umbrella, was unfurled in London Streets.

1897 September 20, “Hats And Hat-Worship”, in Macmillan's Magazine, volume LXXVI, number 455, page 344, column 2:

The “ombrifuge” (I quote the undergraduate again) was a showy but not robust specimen of its kind, and owing to the immense weight of the water, and the impossibility of getting a good purchase, I made a mess of it.

1898 September 10, Bradnock Hall, “A New Net”, in Country Life, volume IV, number 88, page 300, column 1:

To some their silken hats are dear, to some / Their overcoats of astrakhan or fur, / To me my ombrifuge, my childhood's chum. / He said, " I will inquire about it, Sir."

1911 March 8, E. G. V. Knox [i.e., E. V. Knox], “Not Cricket: The Scandalous Affair of My Umbrella”, in Punch, or The London Charivari, volume CXL, page 170, column 1:

Japinoy

(Philippines, informal) Japanese Filipino (a Filipino with Japanese descent, usually one of mixed descent, especially one who identifies as such.)


dogoir

Her popularity, notes Copeland, seems to have been all but eclipsed when Marley bounded onto the scene. “Some very fine dogoirs have been published since then, all of them exploring the complex and intense relationship between dogs and their human companions. It wasn’t long before the popularity of dog books opened the category for other animals.”

2009 September 21, Natalie Danford, quoting Brenda Copeland, “Publishing’s Best Friend”, in Publishers Weekly, volume 256, number 38, Newton, M.A.: Reed Business Information, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2024-06-24, page 20:

“The Puppy Diaries,” based on a popular online column Ms. Abramson wrote for The Times from July 2009 to May 2010, is her account of the first year with a beautiful but predictably high-energy golden retriever. The book is a worthy addition to the crowded so-called dogoir genre, primarily for the candid glimpse it offers into the softer, personal — yes, even cuddly — side of one of the world’s most influential opinion shapers.

Like other forms of creative nonfiction, the dogoir frequently straddles various categories.

Twiplomacy

After a very slow start, the US State Department is now the world’s most active practitioner of e-PD and the source of many best practices in digital diplomacy. It operates an official blog called DipNote, and actively services Twitter accounts in Arabic, Farsi, Russian, Spanish, Hindi, and French, as well as English. This new business line—‘Twiplomacy’ in the increasingly popular idiom—is growing fast, with more and more U.S. diplomatic missions and practitioners joining the fray.

Zynternet

Blend of Zyn (“a brand of tobacco-free snus”) + Internet. Coined by journalist Max Read in 2024 (see quotation below).

blend

But Hawk Tuah's broad success as a meme is less about its own intrinsic qualities than about the increasing size and cultural power of something I'm going to call the Zynternet. ¶ Over the last ten years or so, a broad community of fratty, horndog, boorishly provocative 20- and sometimes (embarrassingly) 30-somethings--mostly but by no means entirely male--has emerged to form a newly prominent online subculture. This network is adjacent to the "sports internet" of 40something dads and the "hustle internet" of Miami crypto bullshit and the "reactionary internet" of trad influencers, but is its own distinct community with its own distinct cultural referents--college sports, gambling, light domestic beers, Zyn nicotine pouches--and influential personalities and media outlets, among them Dave Portnoy, Pat McAfee, Antonio Brown, and Call Her Daddy, in addition to dozens of minor podcasters and hey-fellow-kids content creators who nearly all work for sports-betting concerns.

quizzicle

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-quizzicle.wav

From quiz + -icle (diminutive suffix). The term is associated with, and possibly originates from, an old joke: "if a quiz is a quizzicle, what's a test?" (or variations). Later reanalyzed as (or recoined from) a blend of quiz + article.

OOP in school consists mostly of memorizing a bunch of vocabulary terms like "encapsulation" and "inheritance" and taking multiple-choice quizzicles on the difference between polymorphism and overloading. Not much harder than memorizing famous dates and names in a history class, OOP poses inadequate mental challenges to scare away first-year students.

2019 January 3, Jack Morse, “So it's come to this: An unborn baby 'kidfluencer' has 112,000 Instagram followers”, in Mashable:

Parents tend to argue that they are the laborers behind kidfluencing through content creation and contracts, since the children alone are often too young to have their own accounts on these platforms.

2022 June 16, Munirat Suleiman, “Is Kidfluencing Child Labor?: How the Youngest Influencers Remain Legally Unprotected”, in Columbia Undergraduate Law Review:

One of the reasons Zoe is encouraging Ava's passions, like kidfluencing and cheerleading, is because her daughter finds reading and writing difficult.

2024 May 20, Jessica Longbottom, Carla Hildebrandt and Dunja Karagic, “Inside the world of 'kidfluencers' where children make thousands from social media — at a cost”, in ABC News:


photoganda

Multiple photographers worried privately in conversations with Axios that the images from the rally could turn into a kind of "photoganda," with the Trump campaign using them to further their agenda despite the photographers' intent of capturing a news event.

July 15, 2024, Aïda Amer, “How photographers view the photos of Trump's assassination attempt”, in Axios:

A photograph regarded as being published or broadcast in the interest of advancing an ideological agenda.

bouncinette

I didn't want to sound like an interfering mother-in-law, so I just said, "Well, dear, your own husband used to gurgle away for hours on this very bouncinette, kicking his fat little legs."

2007, Liane Moriarty, The Last Anniversary, page 174:

She leapt from the porch straight in through the door and almost immediately tripped over the bouncinette, knocking the contraption over on its side.

2013, Winsome Smith, Tales the Laundress Told: And Other Stories, page 15:

By her right foot, her baby girl, Asha, sleeps in a bouncinette that has a pattern like the coat of one of the 101 Dalmations..

A baby seat that gently bounces or rocks, often equipped with a safety harness to keep the baby secure.


DiCrapio

_PLEASE SHUT UP ABOUT
LEO......no more......you can talk about Matt Damon all you like, i think he'd
be a good Anakin, but Retardo DiCrapio need not be mentioned again! STOP THE
MADNESS!!!

1999 June 6, BeTranced, “Leo In EPII...NOOOOO!!!!!!”, in rec.arts.sf.starwars.misc (Usenet):

I'm TELLING you, mocking DiCrapio throughout makes the movie SO much funner.

2007 August 22, Acolyte of Glorious La Parka~ loves being a dick, “(POWL) Loud upstairs neighbors-advise?”, in rec.sport.pro-wrestling (Usenet):

Good one. And DiCrapio is sure putting the pounds. He's a regular
fat-boi now.

2016 July 23, CRNG, “Scammer Di Caprio hops from his helicopter into a gas-guzzling private jet as he leaves Saint Tropez”, in alt.politics.scorched-earth (Usenet):

(Internet slang) Kamala Harris (Vice President of the United States since 2021)


Usenetizen

Blend of Usenet + citizen or Usenet + netizen.

However, as a new Usenetizen, you should know that the first thing to do before posting to any newsgroup is to read the appropriate FAQs and charters to make sure such posts will be welcomed there.

1998 August 4, Marty Blase, “Re: Kate the short!!!!!!”, in rec.arts.comics.marvel.xbooks (Usenet):


femorrhoid

Even were it so, what's the femorrhoid's problem with that?
Why does the femorrhoid try to disparage the men who
seek to be treated _equally_ to women by characterizing
the request for equality as "cry"? (Did the femorrhoid wear
out the word "wimp"? ;-) Oh, I forgot for a moment: more
for women, not 'equality' is the feminist goal.

2002 December 31, Society, “soc.men and WIC”, in soc.men (Usenet):

Fuckin femorrhoids think that anything with a cunt deserves to be taken
care of her entire life. What she deserves is a good kick in the arse
and to be told to get a fuckin job.

2004 July 21, Bob, “More irresponsible women”, in alt.true-crime (Usenet):

You keep attempting to blur this distinction and argue that
since men generally commit more violence than women do, therefore they
must also be more violent in intimate relationships than women are.
This is simply not true, as attested by one hundred seventy and four
studies listed by Fiebert (versus two lousy pieces of desperate
femorrhoid babble quoted by Hyerdung).

2005 November 17, Szczepan Holyszewski, “Breaking the Silence: Mothers Can Be Abusers”, in alt.feminism (Usenet):

I don't think there is any chance in hell that femorrhoids, like these, are
capable of accepting anything regarding rights for men, regardless of how
"nice" or persuasive the argument is for male rights. I don't even think
it's possible for more moderate feminists, or the majority of women in
general, in my opinion.

2007 May 21, MCP, “Woman Thou Art Fraud”, in soc.men (Usenet):

(slang, derogatory, offensive, uncommon) A term of abuse against women.


begintermediate

As a begintermediate, I have gotten the most (help/enjoyment) from the following:

1998 February 6, Art Hamster, “Top 10 Chess Books ?”, in rec.games.chess.misc (Usenet):

The Moz was a little bumpy - too bumpy for a begintermediate anyhow, and that was the old standby from last year when the fam came out.

2002 November 24, mwfr...@hotmail.com, “TR - Copper Mountain, Bever Creek, Vail (long)”, in rec.skiing.alpine (Usenet):

Someone whose skill level is begintermediate.


netKKKop

They exposed themselves for the netKKKops they are in exchange for their complaints getting me booted off a newsserver three or four days sooner than I would have been booted anyway for not sending them money.

2005 April 17, Capt. Neal®, “Some Thoughts on Net Kopping”, in alt.sailing.asa (Usenet):

(Internet slang, derogatory) Synonym of netcop.


netKKKop

en-verb

netKKKop (third-person singular simple present netKKKops, present participle netKKKopping, simple past and past participle netKKKopped)

netKKKops (present singular third-person)
netKKKopping (participle present)
netKKKopped (participle past)
netKKKopped (past)

When and if she comes back and acknowledges the error of her netKKKopping ways, I will think more kindly of her. As for forgiving her, there is nothing to forgive. She did me no harm.


fauxsurrection

Apparently, according to DOJ, very few of those arrested were on Parler and the WaPo just threw Facebook under the bus because there is significant evidence that a majority of the planning for the J** 6th fauxsurrection was carried out on Facebook.

2021 January 17, skylane5sp, Ugly Hedgehog - Photography:

All of this is being driven by the Democrats’ obsession with using the J6 fauxsurrection to keep Trump off of the ballot in 2024.

2022 October 8, Stephen Kruiser, “The Morning Briefing: Dear Dems—Trump 2024 Is Gonna Be Super LIT”, in PJ Media:

Just to show how desperate they are to put the Fauxsurrection back into the purview of Americans, someone actually took the time to pen this nonsense, connecting J-6 with the 20 Republican House Caucus members wrangling over the concessions to get them to vote for Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House.

2023 July 1, “Kevin McCarthy’s Speaker of the House Battle Has Effectively Wiped J-6 From the Annals of History”, in The Patriotic News:

(politics, derogatory) A false flag or staged insurrection, especially the January 6 United States Capitol attack as viewed by supporters of Donald Trump.

2022 June 1, Tess Owen, “Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz Declare Jan. 6 Riot a ‘Fedsurrection’”, in VICE:

Right-wing social media users are amplifying questionable interpretations of some of the clips, claiming they show law enforcement officials helping the rioters storm the Capitol, with some FBI officials acting as insurrectionists, coining the term “fedsurrection.”

2023 November 19, Sara Dorn, “New Jan. 6 Videos Released—Launching Wild Conspiracies From The Far Right”, in Forbes:

Speaker Mike Johnson’s recent decision to release the tapes from January 6th contributed to a new focus on the fedsurrection theory.
