en-noun

subplot

1978, R.B. Lee & R. Misiorowski, Script Models: A Handbook for the Media Writer,
Subplot, a story line enclosed within the principal story to provide relief from the main plot's tension, add character dimension, etc.

Structurally, the two most variant scenes (outside of Scene ii) are Scenes 3 and 4 in which the compiler works out the variant subplot.

1998, Stephen Roy Miller, The Taming of a Shrew: the 1594 quarto:

In a sense, Superman's romance with Lois Lane was a subplot and [...]

2001, Dennis O'Neil, The DC Comics Guide to Writing Comics:

2001, Nancy Arbuthnot Johnson, Vic Neufield, Forging Links for Health Research,
But this story has a subplot — a subplot about fairness and how people have divergent levels of access to knowledge and resources.

callback

callbacks (plural)
call-back (alternative)

(theater) A follow-up audition in casting.

When the album succeeds, such as on the swaggering, Queen-esque “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us,” it does so on The Darkness’ own terms—that is, as a random ’80s-cliché generator. But with so many tired, lazy callbacks to its own threadbare catalog (including “Love Is Not The Answer,” a watery echo of the epic “I Believe In A Thing Called Love” from 2003’s Permission To Land), Hot Cakes marks the point where The Darkness has stopped cannibalizing the golden age of stadium rock and simply started cannibalizing itself. And, despite Hawkins’ inveterate crotch-grabbing, there was never that much meat there to begin with.

2012 August 21, Jason Heller, “The Darkness: Hot Cakes (Music Review)”, in The Onion AV Club:

(comedy) A joke which references an earlier joke in the same routine.


John Law

I'll win them by politeness, and... and... show them that I've nothing to do with that Aesop, that buffoon, that Pierrot, and have merely been taken in over this affair, just as they have.

1912, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, translated by Constance Garnett, The Brothers Karamazov, published 1880, Book II, chapter 8:

And he was attending that fancy-dress ball, mark you--not, like every other well-bred Englishman, as a Pierrot, but as Mephistopheles […]
"He said that the costume of Pierrot, while pleasing to the eye, lacked the authority of the Mephistopheles costume."

1934, P. G. Wodehouse, Right Ho, Jeeves:

The rest of the family then invades the studio, three boys dressed as Pierrots and three girls dressed as Pierrettes.

2019, Karl Toepfer, Pantomime, page 741:

A character from French pantomime; a buffoon in a loose white outfit; a popular choice for a masquerade costume.

groundling

From ground + -ling. Compare Old English grundling (“a groundling fish, grundel”).

cog

O, it offends me to the soul to hear a robustious periwig-pated fellow tear a passion to tatters, to very rags, to split the ears of the groundlings, who for the most part are capable of nothing but inexplicable dumb-shows and noise.

c. 1599–1602 (date written), William Shakespeare, “The Tragedie of Hamlet, Prince of Denmarke”, in Mr. William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies […] (First Folio), London: […] Isaac Iaggard, and Ed[ward] Blount, published 1623, →OCLC, [Act III, scene ii]:

when your Groundling, and gallery-Commoner buyes his sport by the penny, and, like a Hagler, is glad to utter it againe by retailing.

1609, Thomas Dekker, chapter VI, in The Guls Horn-Booke, London: J.M. Dent, published 1936, page 47:

The flag is up on the playhouse by the bankside. The bear Sackerson growls in the pit near it, Paris garden. Canvasclimbers who sailed with Drake chew their sausages among the groundlings.

1922 February, James Joyce, Ulysses, Paris: Shakespeare and Company, […], →OCLC:

Passion, and passion in its profoundest, is not a thing demanding a palatial stage whereon to play its part. Down among the groundlings, among the beggars and rakers of the garbage, profound passion is enacted.

1888–1891, Herman Melville, “[Billy Budd, Foretopman.] Chapter XI.”, in Billy Budd and Other Stories, London: John Lehmann, published 1951, →OCLC:

In fact, most of the mob did not know there was such a thing as a director, and it was the actors and the student orchestra whom the groundlings applauded.

1943, Sinclair Lewis, chapter VIII, in Gideon Planish, London: Jonathan Cape, page 71:

...the penny-paying groundlings stand in the yard hurling abuse or encouragement and hazelnuts or orange peel at the actors, while the sophisticates in the covered galleries appreciate Shakespeare's soaring poetry.

2010, (William Shakespeare), Jonathan Bate & Eric Rasmussen, Twelfth Night, →ISBN, page 159:

(drama) climax (turning point in a plot or in dramatic action)


retcon

A blend of retroactive + continuity. The term retroactive continuity was popularized by comics writer Roy Thomas, who was known for writing superhero comic books set decades in the past such as All-Star Squadron, and attributes it to an anonymous source.

TLC: What do you say to the Legion fans who have become disenfranchised with the series due to its various retcons and reboots?

2003, Glen Cadigan, The Legion Companion, page 152:

Fans talk of retcon—retroactive continuity—giving information that explains an earlier event, especially seeming plot contradictions or lacunae.

2005, Rhonda Wilcox, Why Buffy Matters: The Art of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, page 9:

It's a little trick called retcon, short for "retroactive continuity," […]
Yet I'm unsure even Millar is fully aware of the power given him by the retcon.

2006, Glenn Yeffeth, editor, The Man from Krypton: A Closer Look at Superman, page 155:

A situation, in a soap opera or other fiction, in which a new storyline explains or changes a previous event or attaches a new significance to it.

NB - Pronunciation of Norwegian Bokmål «abrakadabra».ogg

From Late Latin abracadabra, a word used in magical writings, of uncertain origin, possibly from Thracian. Perhaps related to Abraxas (a Gnostic deity), and with various Aramaic or Hebrew terms, such as עברא כדברא (avra kedavra, literally “what was said has come to pass”), עַבְדָא כְּדַברָא (avda kedavara, literally “what was said has been done”); ארבע-אחד-ארבע (arba-eḥad-arba, literally “four-one-four”).

abracadabra (magic formula where the first line contains these letters)

her blev et abracadabra uden øren-lyd over al verden

1879, Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, Det ny System, page 156:

forestage (third-person singular simple present forestages, present participle forestaging, simple past and past participle forestaged)

forestages (present singular third-person)
forestaging (participle present)
forestaged (participle past)
forestaged (past)

From Middle English forstage, equivalent to fore- + stage.

There is subtle thought, even profound thought, not so much in the working out of the plots as in the selection and forestaging of such humorous situations as make the plots work themselves out.

1925, O. Henry, Works - Volume 13, page xxiii:

Yet, despite the invocation of cultural practices in images, the facade setting preventing the spectators' attention from wandering to an outside environment, prevented spectators from seeing the action as a natural aspect of a total environment by forestaging the action as a construct in response to particular situations.

1991, Susan Lisbeth Chast, Ellen Stewart and La Mama: A Study of Theatrical Spaces:

(theater) To block so that someone or something appears in the forestage.

When the 'blinders' are switched off, and the audience's eyes given time to re-adjust, the new scene is in place […]

humourist

Humorologists study humour and humourists, smile therapists believe in the therapeutic value of cheer and humoropathists promote a 'cacchination (guffawing) cure' for serious illness ('Vitamin C and Laurel and Hardy').

2002 January 12, “What's the word?”, in The Guardian:

I only met the late and much-missed humourist once, but he had an impact on my life that hasn't been mentioned in the other fond tributes.

2007 October 30, Ali Catterall, “Alan Coren launched my criminal career”, in The Guardian:

(British) Alternative spelling of humorist

stage whisper

stage whispers (plural)
stage-whisper (alternative)

'[…]When the division was announced, he chuckled exceedingly, and in a stage whisper exclaimed, "Grey is check-mated !" '

1869, “Lives of Lord Lyndhurst and Lord Brougham”, in The Edinburgh Review, volume CXXIX, pages 568–569:

Near to the audience the stage whisper was not much louder, although more distinct, than an ordinary whisper in private life.

1887, Sir Frederick Pollock, Personal Remembrances of Sir Frederick Pollock, page 248:

Perhaps because of this, the convention of the 'stage whisper' came into being. All that distinguishes it from the true whisper is that a very little amount of voice in introduced and so what you end up with is extremely breathy voice production[…]

1998, Michael McCallion, The Voice Book, page 189:

"Pretty legs," said Rebo in a stage whisper as Peter slowed down.

2001, Shelley Freydont, High Seas Murder, page 326:

(theater) A line that is performed on stage as if it were whispered, but is spoken loud enough for the audience to hear.

apart

(by extension) Any loud whisper intended to be heard.

1878, Things in General, volume 2, p. 132:

“The captain's voice, by G–!” said the stage-whispering ruffian, and both robbers fled by the way of the back door, shutting off their bull's-eye as they ran.

1883, Mark Twain, Life on the Mississippi, chapter 31 "A Thumb-print and What Came of It"

[...] Bobbie sprang at me like a leopardess. “What on earth are you fooling about for like this, Bertie?” she stage-whispered.

1960, P[elham] G[renville] Wodehouse, chapter XVI, in Jeeves in the Offing, London: Herbert Jenkins, →OCLC:

Into this melodrama stepped the American defence secretary, Leon Panetta. He stopped in both countries, urged both sides to get along better and affirmed America’s pledge of mutual defence with Japan—though an unnamed senior American military official stage-whispered to the Washington Post that America wouldn’t go to war “over a rock”.

2012 September 22, “East Asian rivalry: protesting too much”, in The Economist:

There is some evidence to suggest that in whispered speech, particularly stage whispered speech, the larynx is raised appreciably.

straight man

Coordinate term: straight woman

For many years Bud Abbott served brilliantly as Lou Costello's deadpan straight man.

Recently he had successfully concluded a case featuring a poet who wore only latex, lived on liquorice allsorts and worshipped a horse she believed to be the reincarnation of Radclyffe Hall. And she was the straight man.

2010, Caroline Graham, A Ghost in the Machine, Hachette UK, →ISBN:

She was the straight man, he was the comedian, and their audience was “standing room only” when they stepped up to the microphone.

1982 April, Pam Hait, “Sandra Day O’Connor: Warm, Witty and Wise”, in The Ladies' Home Journal, volume 99, page 46:

(idiomatic) A member (of any gender) of a team of comic performers who plays a supporting role by helping to set up jokes and punch lines through engaging in dialog with another comedian playing a more eccentric or otherwise more interesting character; a foil who plays such a role in theatrical comedy.

novum

novum (countable and uncountable, plural novums or nova)

In his book Metamorphoses of Science Fiction (1979), Suvin introduced a number of ideas that remain central in sf criticism: cognitive estrangement, the novum and sf's genetic link with utopia.[…]Even more influential in sf theory than cognitive estrangement is Suvin's concept of the novum.[…]Suvin adopts the concept of the novum from the work of Ernst Bloch, for whom the term refers to those concrete innovations of lived history that awaken human collective consciousness out of a static present to awareness that history can be changed. The novum thus inspires hope for positive historical transformations.

2003, Istvan Csicsery-Ronay, Jr., “7: Marxist theory and science fiction”, in Edward James, Farah Mendlesohn, editors, The Cambridge Companion to Science Fiction, Cambridge University Press, page 118:

It seems that this ‘point of difference’, the thing or things that differentiate the world portrayed in science fiction from the world we recognise around us, is the crucial separator between SF and other forms of imaginative or fantastic literature. The critic Darko Suvin has usefully coined the term ‘novum’, the Latin for ‘new’ or ‘new thing’, to refer to this ‘point of difference’ (the plural is ‘nova’). An SF text may be based on one novum, such as [...]. More usually it will be predicated on a number of interrelated nova, such as [...]. This ‘novum’ must not be supernatural but need not necessarily be a piece of technology.

2006, Adam Roberts, Science Fiction, Taylor & Francis (Routledge), pages 6–7:

cognitive estrangement
cognitive estrangement

(narratology, science fiction) An innovation which is fictional, but, following the logic of cognitive estrangement (characteristic of science fiction), is afforded plausibility by the assumption that the fictional setting is scientifically consistent.


soliloquio

From Latin sōliloquium, from sōlus (“alone”) + loquor (“to speak”).
