big tent

From big (adjective) + tent, originally referring to a large tent set up to hold a public event attended by many people such as a circus or a religious meeting.

Humanism is an expansive trisyllable, a veritable "big-tent" of a word, sheltering many varieties of performance under its spreading canvas.

1930 October, Eugene Garret Bewkes, “Humanism and Ethics”, in James H[ayden] Tufts, editor, The International Journal of Ethics: A Quarterly Devoted to the Advancement of Ethical Knowledge and Practice, volume XLI, number 1, Chicago, Ill.: University of Chicago Press, →ISSN, →JSTOR, →OCLC, pages 14–15:

The Democratic governor of Mississippi, Paul Johnson, has endorsed Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater. […] He said he is confident that the majority of Mississippians "Have no desire to get under Lyndon Johnson's big tent and to share the company already assembled there."

1964 September 9, “Goldwater endorsed in Mississippi”, in Graham M. Dean, editor, Porterville Evening Recorder, number 395, Porterville, Calif.: Graham M. Dean, →OCLC, page 1:

The newcomers often bring an array of ancillary problems to meetings, including emotional trauma and addiction to other drugs. As the organization metamorphoses, its supporters wonder whether A.A. [Alcoholics Anonymous] can or should be such a big tent.

1995 July 10, Elizabeth Gleick [et al.], “Sobering Times for A.A.”, in Time, New York, N.Y.: Time Inc., →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2010-10-08:

They are not a slice of Americana, as we usually say, but rather, a broad brush of it. While most of our successful sports franchises display some distinct personality, only the [Dallas] Cowboys offer the big tent.

1996 September 8, “Why Cowboys Became Kings”, in Newsweek, New York, N.Y.: Newsweek, Inc., →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2024-02-26:

And here in essence is the problem with the Democrats' big tent, as well as the grounds for a wholly new kind of culture war that is probably going to make us long for the clear lines and simple enmities of the old one.

#MeToo, that vast and disembodied and ongoing protest march, has been subject to similar dynamics: the big tent, flinging its flaps ever wider; the entropic impulse as both a matter of promise and a matter of peril.

2018 July 4, Megan Garber, “Is #MeToo Too Big?”, in The Atlantic, Washington, D.C.: The Atlantic Monthly Group, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2023-11-25:

Vox was established a decade ago when its leader, Santiago Abascal, split from the Popular Party, long a big center-right tent that included monarchists, libertarian supporters of same-sex marriage, ultraconservative Catholics and Spaniards who detested the independence movements of the north.

pet shop

→ Brazilian Portuguese: pet shop

→ Japanese: ペットショップ (pettoshoppu)

→ Turkish: pet shop

"I'll take three of those little butter-fishes." No sooner was the sentence spoken than I realized that it was not correct English, but the fish dealer knew not the difference; and if one were to say to the proprietor of a pet shop, "I'll take three of those goldfish," he, in all likelihood, would not know the difference, either. Even those of us who are devoting our lives to the study of fishes, find it difficult to remember how to designate them correctly in the plural.

1927, Ida M[ay] Mellen, “'Fish' or 'Fishes'”, in Louise Pound, Kemp Malone, Arthur [Garfield] Kennedy, editors, American Speech, volume II, Baltimore, Md.: American Dialect Society, →ISSN, page 246, column 1:

[…] Mr. Wilham's fashionable West End pet-shop, where dogs lived in excelsior-floored cubicles, appealing to the passers-by.

1932, Rudyard Kipling, “The Woman in His Life”, in Limits and Renewals, Dominions edition, London: Macmillan and Co., […], →OCLC, page 47:

And he stops in front of the store where they're going and she stares at the window uncomfortably, it turns out to be a petshop that only sells birds, marvelous, in cages you can see from the window there are all kinds of birds happily flying from one perch to another, […]

1980 August, Manuel Puig, chapter 1, in Thomas Colchie, transl., Kiss of the Spider Woman […], New York, N.Y.: Vintage Books, →ISBN, page 8:

Although Lesbia's sparrow and Melior's parrot do indeed bear witness to at least an occasional Roman weakness for pet birds, it does seem unlikely that these pampered fowls will have drunk from the very same type of vessel as might be sold in the petshops of modern Pompeii.

1999, Eleanor Leach, “Discussion: Comments from a Classicist”, in Penelope M[ary] Allison, editor, The Archaeology of Household Activities, London; New York, N.Y.: Routledge, →ISBN, page 193:

‘Your kiwi birds will take lodgings elsewhere.’ / ‘At your house?’ / ‘Not at my house, but across the street.’ Mr Bell pointed and Alice followed the direction of this pointing. / ‘It is a pet shop,’ she said. ‘I have no wish to sell my kiwi birds.’ And this was mostly true, although Alice was beginning to find caring for the kiwi birds a trying experience. Not that she did not love them.

2011, Robert Rankin, chapter 26, in The Mechanical Messiah and Other Marvels of the Modern Age, London: Gollancz, →ISBN, page 205:

One day, a lady named Sally came to the pet shop to look for a new pet. Sally did not really want a parrot, but Parker thought Sally looked kind so he flew onto her shoulder and said, "Choose me, please." Sally was amazed and decided to take Parker home.

2012, Brenda May Williams, “Parker the Nosey Parrot”, in The Unusual Pet Shop, Houston, Tex.: Strategic Book Publishing and Rights Co., →ISBN, page 6:

A shop that sells animals kept as domestic pets, and products for caring for and feeding them.


lèche-vitrine

fr-noun

lèche-vitrine m or f (plural lèche-vitrines)

From lèche (“lick”, imperative of lécher) + vitrine (“window”).

af

imperative of <i class="Latn mention" lang="fr">lécher</i>

faire du lèche-vitrine

Je me serais bien arrêtée devant les magasins pour faire du lèche-vitrine, mais mon compagnon aurait peut-être pensé que je voulais me faire offrir quelque chose, ce qui l’aurait mis dans une situation délicate vu qu’il n’a certainement pas beaucoup d’argent de poche : il n’y a qu’à le regarder.

1950, Raymond Queneau, “Le Journal intime de Sally Mara”, in Les Œuvres complètes de Sally Mara, Gallimard, published 1989, page 48:

I would have gladly stopped in front of the stores to do some window shopping, but my companion might have thought that I wanted to get something for myself, which would have put him in a delicate situation given that he certainly didn't have a lot of pocket money: you could tell just by looking at him.

hébe-hóba

hé (Old Hungarian variant of hő (“heat”)) + -be (“in”, folksy variant of -ben) + hó (“snow”) + -ba (“in”, folksy variant of -ban). Its original meaning was “in heat and in snow”, that is “always”. Later, the meaning of its parts had faded because of its similarity to reduplications such as gizgaz (“weed”) and mendemonda (“hearsay”); this may be how its current meaning changed to “sometimes”.

cloudland

Glittering castles in Spain were shaping themselves out of the mists and rainbows of her lively fancy; adventures wonderful and enthralling were happening to her in cloudland—adventures that always turned out triumphantly and never involved her in scrapes like those of actual life.

1908 June, L[ucy] M[aud] Montgomery, chapter XXX, in Anne of Green Gables, Boston, Mass.: L[ouis] C[oues] Page & Company, published August 1909 (11th printing), →OCLC:

Wide awake, all at once, he was at the same time plunged even deeper into a cloudland of symbols to which he had no key.

1950, Mervyn Peake, chapter 29, in Gormenghast, London: Eyre & Spottiswoode, →OCLC:

Nothing can be more like a ride in cloudland than the drive from Pierrefitte to Luz and from Luz to Gavarnie.

From hús (“meat”) + vét (“taking”), from vesz (“to take”) + -t (noun-forming suffix). The origin of the meaning is that meat could be consumed only after Lent, starting at Easter. The evolution of the Hungarian word may have been influenced by Southern Slavic words, compare Serbo-Croatian Vuzem.

affix

A nagyböjt 7 hétig, farsang végétől húsvétig tart, s ez alatt a katolikusok szerda és pénteki napokon húst, zsírt nem fogyasztottak, csak olajjal és vajjal főztek.

1978, Tivadar Petercsák, Hegyköz (A region in Northern Hungary), page 95:

Lent lasts for seven weeks, from the end of the carnival until Easter, and during this time the Catholics did not consume meat and lard on Wednesdays and Fridays, they cooked only with oil and butter.

vanity press

From vanity + press, so called because such a press may be used by otherwise unpublishable authors who want to see their work in print.

In 1956, having had her book turned down by commercial presses who were unwilling to publish a work on lesbian literature, Foster spent $2000, her year's salary, to print the book through a vanity press, Vantage.

1981 August 22, Maida Tilchen, “Jeannette Howard Foster Dies”, in Gay Community News, volume 9, number 6, page 3:

The self-published book is the joke of the literary world: whether one goes to a printer and has the books made up with one's own imprint, or goes to an "author-subsidized" publisher known in the trade as a "vanity press," doesn't matter: It's easy to tell a real book from the pretenders. […] It's harder to tell with software. A lot of software is published by small startups. Some of these would certainly qualify as vanity press jobs in the book trade, others wouldn't. But there's a far higher number of successes among small software publishers than there are in the usual vanity press book.

1990 November 12, Jerry Pournelle, “The Vanity Press is Much Harder to Spot on 3½-inch Disks”, in InfoWorld, volume 12, number 46, San Mateo, Calif.: InfoWorld Publishing Group, →ISSN, →OCLC, page 88, column 1:
