As they approached the steps the Klee-shaes could hear a terran favorite over the great building's Public Address system—it was Neil Young warbling Keep On Rocking In The Free World, but a Fartian host, misunderstanding the moment, transferred the track to Mollify.

2008, Ron Sanders, Legerdemainia, →ISBN, page 71:

Like most “fish” native to Safehold, it has a very long, sinuous body but the head does resemble a terran hake or cod, with a hooked jaw.

Hobbs' Street smelled odd, damp and sweet, but that wasn't due to the residents here but to an odd mutation of a terran honey fungus that had spread throughout the moon colony, running its mycelia through air vents, electrical ducting or […]

The NASA engineer admiringly dubbed the complete project a “terran module,” comparing it favorably with the best thing yet developed in lunar modules. Bolan liked it, though he was a bit awed by the electronic capabilities of his new warwagon.

Kylux

(Examples: how people feel about Reylo, how people perceive Kylux, etc.)

2016, "Dark Side of the Mind", quoted in Kimberly Leerkes, "Fandom As A Remixing Culture", thesis submitted to the University of Amsterdam, page 87

In May 2016, a month after TFA was available for legal download and purchase on DVD, Kylux was already the most popular pairing in the fandom with over two thousand stories; […]

2017 December, Cait Coker, Karen Viars, “Welcoming the Dark Side?: Exploring Whitelash and Actual Space Nazis in TFA Fanfiction”, in NANO: New American Notes Online, volume 12:

Stormpilot

Stephanie didn't immediately latch onto Stormpilot after her first viewing of The Force Awakens, but now sees the developing relationship as playing on classic romantic beats.

2016 February, “Stormpilot: The Breakout Couple Of 2015”, in Colorblock Magazine, page 13:

The popularity of Stormpilot as a slash pairing is grounded in canonical signifiers, as Andrew Wheeler (2016) writes: […]

2017, Anastasia Salter, Bridget Blodgett, Toxic Geek Masculinity in Media: Sexism, Trolling, And Identity Politics, page 199:

The ambiguity act doesn't work as well for Boyega and Isaac, but The Rise of Skywalker appears to offer Stormpilot shippers (and you know who you are) no definitive reason to jump ship.

2019, André Hereford, “Forceful Finale”, in Metro Weekly, 16 December - 26 December 2019, page 39:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Finn and Poe Dameron from Star Wars.


Reylo

In The Force Awakens fandom, for example, there is a vocal contingent of anti-Reylo fans, […]

2018, Kristina Busse, “Afterword: Fannish Affect and Its Aftermath”, in Rebecca Williams, editor, Everybody Hurts: Transitions, Endings, and Resurrections in Fan Cultures, page 217:

It has now been a month since my last letter to you, and Reylo is closer to becoming canon than ever.

2018, anonymous author, “Letters to Editors”, in Lot's Wife, Monash University, Edition 2 (2018), page 3:

The final instalment of this Star Wars trilogy will be in our cinemas in December to answer all our burning questions: will Reylo ever happen?

2019, Emily Webb-Mortimer, "2019: year of the remake?", InQuire (University of Kent), 25 January 2019, page 15

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Rey and Kylo Ren from Star Wars.


Initialism from the names Janeway and Seven.

In that sense, Seven transcends femininity herself (and J/7 transcends lesbian slash) because feminine sentimentality is insufficient.

1998 February 11, Emily Salzfass, “Re: Pokes at Antnests”, in alt.startrek.creative (Usenet):

I've just started a new Web site (still under construction) for J/7 fanfic and have posted my new story "Sensations" on there.

1999 May 17, Tenderware, “New Janeway/Seven Site!”, in alt.startrek.creative (Usenet):

Tigermoth wrote some really hot, interesting J/7 stories, and I hope that she continues to do so, and perhaps branches out into some longer pieces!

2006 March 30, Rocky, “ASC AWARDS Comment Digest # 71 VOY Stories”, in alt.startrek.creative (Usenet):

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Kathryn Janeway and Seven of Nine from the television series Star Trek: Voyager.


obligala

If Missy Pennington had let her qualms about writing an "obligala" story stop her, we would have missed reading her sexy, humorous "Hardball."

1998 July 25, GravesPA2, “No rules, just ruminations”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

Of course, I'm halfway through my giftfic which I think should be this year's version of the obligala, so everyone who's speculating, get writing instead!! C'mon, folks, it's Christmas -- get over all the complaints on the season so far and have a little fun with it!
As for what they were ... well, I'm not giving away my story, but Mulder's had to be a video. It was the right size and shape, and when he shook it, that's what it sounded like.

1998 December 14, soco...@mindspring.com, “Speculation and giftfic”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

KEYWORDS: parody, Mulder/Scully romance, Skinner/Mrs. Scully romance, cliches galore, obligala, badfic, fluff, sap

2000 October 28, kel...@my-deja.com, “NEW: A Helping Hand (1/4)”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

(X-Files fandom slang) A formal ball which two characters (usually Fox Mulder and Dana Scully) are required to attend as a set-up in romantic fan fiction.


Everlark

I am a strong supporter of Everlark (ship name of Everdeen and Mellark).

2015, Justin Andrews, "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 concludes triology on a high note", The Speaking Eagle (Juan Diego Catholic High School), 10 December 2015, page 17

As to the aforementioned media universe, we can consider the contrast between Hunger Games’ couples Everlark (Katniss Everdeen/Peeta Mellark) and Everthorne (Katniss Everdeen/Gale Hawthorne); […]

2017, Romana Andò, “Girls and the Media: Girlhood Studies Agenda and Prospects in Italy”, in Gender/Sexuality/Italy, number 4, page 110:

it’s okay to be an Everlark shipper who still likes and respects Gale, and it’s okay to be an Everthorne shipper who adores and admires Peeta.

2019, "the-fab-fandoms", quoted in Lina Holst & Rebecca Ågren, "'It’s not a phase, Mom!!!': Om identitetsskapande inom fankultur", thesis submitted to the University of Gothenburg, page 61

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark from The Hunger Games series.


Everthorne

People who support Everthorne (ship name of Everdeen and Hawthorne) do not understand the series at all.

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Katniss Everdeen and Gale Hawthorne from The Hunger Games series.


Peeniss

Blend of Peeta + Katniss, as an intentional, jocular homophone of penis.

We think they should just move on because everyone has ditched Team Edward for Team PeeNiss.

2012 October 11, Haley Boston, “The Rundown”, in The Daily Northwestern, Northwestern University, page 4:

They just want to see Katniss and Peeta — or, as the Interwebs have so graciously dubbed their union, “Peeniss” — pair off.

2014 November 24, Gillian Edevane, “Penultimate ‘Hunger Games’ features geopolitical undertones”, in The Daily Californian:

do i have a preference between galeniss and peeniss (or everlark vs. everthorne idk what’s katniss/gale’s last name ship name?) yes.

2019, "allisonarghent-archive", quoted in Lina Holst & Rebecca Ågren, "'It’s not a phase, Mom!!!': Om identitetsskapande inom fankultur", thesis submitted to the University of Gothenburg, page 61

(fandom slang, humorous) The ship of characters Peeta Mellark and Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games series.


BroShep

The fact that advertising for Mass Effect 3 included “FemShep” as well as “BroShep” was significant for many fans.

2012, Jillian Scharr, "From 'Epic' to 'Epic Win': Play and performance as open-database storytelling in pre- and postliterate media", paper submitted to Vassar College, page 83

While BroShep displays obliviousness to issues of "reproductive rights and control over the female body," FemShep expresses solidarity with the female Krogan, Eve, indicating there are some galactic power struggles only FemShep can truly understand.

2017, Lynda Clark, “Commander Shepard”, in Jaime Banks, Robert Mejia, Aubrie Adams, editors, 100 Greatest Video Game Characters, page 44:

There is little deviation between the FemShep and BroShep scripts for the romance with Liara, which positions Commander Shepard as an experienced soldier (and lover) pursuing the naïve, reticent academic.

2020, Amanda Phillips, Gamer Trouble: Feminist Confrontations in Digital Culture, page 148:

(fandom slang, video games) The male version of the Commander Shepard player character in the Mass Effect series.


Scullyfic

en-noun

Scullyfic (countable and uncountable, plural Scullyfics)

It's a Scullyfic in the sense that Mulder isn't there, but I think the whole concept works well.

2000 July 8, Verona, “NEW: "Conversations"”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

primarily a Scullyfic

2001 February 18, Medie, “New: Those That Remain”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

I honestly don't know what Mulder would have done when he found out, so I kept this as a pure Scullyfic.

2004 August 30, kayfu42, “xfc: Losing an Illusion 1/1”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

(countable, X-Files fandom slang) A fanfic in which Dana Scully, of the The X-Files television series, is the protagonist.


FemShep

Playing as FemShep hints that the game world's claims to gender equality may be overstated.

Interestingly, this seems the reason why FemShep is considered to be one of the most popular heroines in gaming history (Cobbett 2012: online), or even one of gaming's first true feminist and feminine protagonists (Hillier 2011).

2018, Silvia Pettinni, “Gender in Game Localization: The Case of Mass Effect 3's FemShep”, in Irene Ranzato, Serenella Zanotti, editors, Linguistic and Cultural Representation in Audiovisual Translation, unnumbered page:

A reveal trailer for Mass Effect Legendary Edition went live several hours ago, and fans have been watching it over and over. As has Jennifer Hale, the voice actor who played the female version of Commander Shepard across all three games, or "FemShep" as the character was dubbed.
Though her performance made FemShep more popular with hardcore fans, the marketing for the original games tended to focus on the default "BroShep", voiced by Mark Meer. Until now. This trailer shows a montage of scenes from across the series, and while BroShep is there—that's him macking on Miranda—there's more screen-time devoted to FemShep.

2021 February 2, Jody Macgregor, “FemShep finally gets her due in Mass Effect Legendary Edition trailer, Jennifer Hale extremely stoked”, in PC Gamer, archived from the original on 2021-02-03:

(fandom slang, video games) The female version of the Commander Shepard player character in the Mass Effect series.


Treklit

Fran Hitchcock, in a fanzine debate with Paula Smith (Archives 7), pointed out that while Treklit can be seen as a training ground for writers with professional aspirations, most Trekwriters do it for the love of it .

1984, Folklore Women's Communication, Issues 32-34, unnumbered page

Even men who actively participate in the fanwriting find it difficult to overcome the prejudice against the form in the masculine community. Humor bridges the uncomfortable gap between wanting to write in the fanzines and having expectations that real men don't write Treklit.

1992, Camille Bacon-Smith, Enterprising Women: Television Fandom and the Creation of Popular Myth, page 153:

A lot of people deserve a shout-out for this, starting with Marco Palmieri, who gave me my first Treklit assignment, On the Spot; […]

2011, David A. McIntee, “Acknowledgements”, in Indistinguishable from Magic, unnumbered page:

(fandom slang) Written fiction based on the Star Trek franchise, including both licensed stories and fan fiction.


UAP

During World War II (and probably before), high flying pilots were reported to have observed unexplained aerial phenomena (UAP), often now called transient luminous events (TLE’s), particularly in the vicinity of thunderstorms.

2012 September 17, Don Lipman, “Red sprites, blue jets, and elves What are these mysterious, elusive phenomena?”, in The Washington Post:

“You know, there’s a new name,” Mrs. Clinton said in the March appearance. “It’s unexplained aerial phenomenon,” she said. “U.A.P. That’s the latest nomenclature.”

2016 May 10, Amy Chozick, “Hillary Clinton Gives U.F.O. Buffs Hope She Will Open the X-Files”, in The New York Times, →ISSN:

The founders say they believe “there is sufficient credible evidence of UAP [unidentified aerial phenomenon] that proves exotic technologies exist that could revolutionize the human experience.”

2017 December 16, Bryan Bender, “The Pentagon’s Secret Search for UFOs”, in Politico Magazine, →ISSN:

This is an effort that I believe is rare and timely given current events, such as the apparent increase in UAP incidents through official military channels.

2019 October 23, M J Banias, “This Silicon Valley Startup Is Dedicated to Detecting UFOs Off the California Coast”, in Vice Magazine, →ISSN:

The spokesman at the time said UAP was preferred over UFO because of the stigma surrounding the latter term.

2020, Jordan Culver, Adrianna Rodriguez, “Pentagon declassifies 3 leaked US Navy UFO videos”, in USA Today:

Pentagon officially released three videos of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP).

2020, “To the Stars Academy of Arts & Science Acknowledges the Pentagon's Official Release of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Video Footage”, in Baker City Herald:

The US military is worried some of the UAPs spotted by military pilots in the past may represent technologies of strategic rivals unknown to US scientists.

2023 January 12, “US government logs more than 500 UFO reports with hundreds unexplained”, in The Guardian, →ISSN:

unidentified aerial phenomenon
unidentified aerial phenomenon#English

(ufology) Initialism of unidentified aerial phenomenon; synonym of UFO (“unidentified flying object”)


noromoish

Oh yes, I am a shipper, although I've had some very Noromo-ish thoughts lately.

1998 June 6, Johanna K Knuutinen, “Re: shipper/non-shipper demographics?”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

Seeing as how 'all things' was one of my first forays into feeling noromoish, I can't quite agree with you on that part of the equation.

2001 April 13, Molly, “Re: "I don't know where I fit in..."”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

We're glad you're back! Well, at least I am. I have someone to share my noromoish pain. ;)

2001 April 14, C. Morgan, “Re: "I don't know where I fit in..."”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

(X-Files fandom slang) Related to, characteristic of, or espousing noromoness.


noromodom

However, one of the many possible grounds for NoRomoDom is that Mulder is unworthy of Scully.

1997 December 31, Andrew In Amherst, “Re: Who is really the star??”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

I'd also have to say that I'm more adamant about my noromodom than I am about my spoilercelibacy--I am tempted by spoilers (although I resist), but the ship tempts me not at all.

2000 March 15, hot toddy, “Re: Shippers, noromos, spoilerwhores, and spoilervirgins”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

Some noromos do want Mulder (or Scully) for themselves, but that does not seem to be related to their reasons for noromodom.

2000 July 12, Mary Aileen Buss, “Re: What Bugged You About The X-Files”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

(X-Files fandom slang) The state or quality of being a noromo.

Again, the thought experiments need to explain how a person could be teletransported from one place to another.

2010 July 20, Christopher Daly, An Introduction to Philosophical Methods, Broadview Press, →ISBN:

The ship hovered behind the moon of Hades just enough to give them a clear line of sight to teletransport to the planet’s surface.

2012 December 13, Logan Keen, House of Gideon: Before the Myth, Abbott Press, →ISBN, page 91:

antimeme

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

From anti- + meme. In the sense of "an image macro which intentionally subverts one's expectations", first recorded in 2009 and now chiefly associated with the r/antimeme subreddit, created February 8, 2012.

I know it's every citizen's civic duty to keep his antimeme vaccinations up to date. But some perverse streak inside me (possibly, now that I think about it, an anti-antimeme meme) made me keep postponing my appointment until it was just too late.

1998, Christine Beckert, David Bischoff, Carroll Brown, et al., The Best of Pirate Writings: Tales of Fantasy, Mystery & Science Fiction, Padwolf Pub Incorporated, →ISBN:

As an antimeme to both Christianity and these secular dominant ideologies, humanism in the West was, by the middle of the century able to gain dominance in what had become, effectively, a vacant niche.

2003, David Hurst, On Westernism: An Ideology's Bid for World Dominion:

Notable as well are periodic claims that memetics will make the world a better place, by creating an antimeme meme which will teach us to defend ourselves against the ravages of the selfish memes, ...

2004, William F. Harms, Information and Meaning in Evolutionary Processes, Cambridge University Press, →ISBN, page 65:

We have to start spreading antimemes.” “Fight fire with fire?” she said.

2010, Michael Flynn, In the Country of the Blind, Macmillan, →ISBN:

(memetics, science fiction) A meme deployed to nullify or protect against another meme.

SCP-055 is a "self-keeping secret" or "anti-meme". Information about SCP-055's physical appearance as well as its nature, behavior, and origins is self-classifying.

2008, Sam "qntm" Hughes, “SCP-055 - [unknown]”, in There Is No Antimemetics Division:

An antimeme is an idea with self-censoring properties; an idea which, by its intrinsic nature, discourages or prevents people from spreading it.

2018, Sam "qntm" Hughes, There Is No Antimemetics Division:

(memetics, science fiction) A unit of information that prevents itself from being spread, often by erasing itself from any mind that it enters.

my favorite parts of these viral memes are the antimemes that appear after we all get sick of them lol

2018 March 18, @rocknraymond, Twitter, archived from the original on 2023-11-03:

(Internet slang) An image macro which intentionally subverts one's expectations by not including a joke; a meme antijoke.


Lunan

Relations between Terra and Luna had been strained since the Lunans had eaten Neil Armstrong in 1960.

2012, A. Lee Martinez, Emperor Mollusk versus The Sinister Brain:

Despite the war games, the Jovans considered themselves invincible, and the Lunans were their only worthy opponent in the solar system. Having their own ships blown up in orbit by unknown forces, the Lunans were no longer transgressors.

2014, William Tedford, Battlefields of Silence:

(science fiction) Synonym of Lunarian (“inhabitant of the Moon”).

C/P

Initialism from the names Chakotay and Paris.

I have had many people ask for a C/P story.

2001 October 16, Christine Porter, “REP: Fic: Just a Pinch of Spice {Voy} C/P”, in alt.startrek.creative.erotica.moderated (Usenet):

Many perfectly good C/P fics suddenly run into these cliches once the two are together and it's completely ruined for me!

2003 June 16, nikita79x, “Re: Cliches (was: K/S cliches)”, in alt.startrek.creative.erotica.moderated (Usenet):

I actually have a longer C/P story that I wrote the first part of - must be 3 or 4 years ago (or longer) and just never finished it.

2008 January 2, Cait N., “Re: NEW VOY: Three Reasons 1/1 (C/T, m/m, Figure Eight Challenge) [PG]”, in alt.startrek.creative.erotica.moderated (Usenet):

I am a mostly M/K fan, but I'll read just about anything that is slashy and well-written...

Spirk

Note: he doesn't know about Spirk, as far as I know.

2003 February 22, ToolPackinMama, “Re: K/S is a universal constant”, in alt.tv.star-trek.tos (Usenet):

It is most commonly noted that the first famous pairing of Kirk/Spock, or Spirk, falls under the category of buddyslash.

2013, Janidean Bruner, "I 'like' slash: the demographics of Facebook slash communities", thesis submitted to the University of Louisville, page 10

Even more so, the other main reason for so much consistency in economies is the long tradition of "proper" fanfiction writing and engagement, handed down from the "Spirk" zine-writers of the 80s and 90s, to the AOL email lists and forums of early X-Files fans in the mid to late 90s, to the multi-page, interactive, and searchable archives of fanfiction sites today.

2016, Brittany Kelley, "To My Betas, Endless Chocolate Frogs!: Exploring the Intersections of Emotion, the Body, and Literacy in Online Fanfiction", thesis submitted to the University of Louisville, page 146

But there is quite a lot of Scullyslash. Maybe not archived on Gossamer, but there are at least two Scullyslash archives that I know of and one very active mailing list.

1999 June 12, Dasha K, “Re: A DARE... Hmm...”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

Radclyffe began writing online with Scullyslash stories that paired Dana Scully from the X-files with an original character of her own creation.

2004, Elizabeth Florence Pearce, "Reading the Lesbian Romance: Re-imagining Love, Sex, Relationships, and Community", thesis submitted to the University of Iowa, page 151

sensawunda

Intentional misspelling or eye dialect rendition of sense of wonder.

How does a non-science fiction writer write science fiction? We had a taste with John Hersey's WHITE LOTUS and MY PETITION FOR MORE SPACE and discovered that future visions could be presented with such reality and simplicity that our sensawunda could be thrown away and we could discover, instead, deep and beautiful characters.

1978, Orson Scott Card, Kalki review, Science Fiction Review, Number 28, November-December 1978, page 33

[…] in order to be able to make the pilgrimage to Mecca, the Sultan of Alpha Centauri engineers a breath-taking re-siting of the entire solar system — sensawunda indeed!

1989, Foundation, numbers 47-53, page 33:

In this one Brin thinks big and the sensawunda gets turned up to eleven. For instance instead of puny ordinary Dyson spheres, Brin gives us fractal Dyson spheres to maximise the surface area for their trillions of inhabitants.

1999, Gary Wilkinson, Heaven's Reach review, Vector, Number 207, September/October 1999, page 21

(dated, fandom slang) Wonder or excitement invoked by the grandeur and vision of science fiction.

Skater

The Jaters and Skaters started out like any other shipper groups, but as the seasons have progressed, so has the intensity level of the group members.

2008, Jon Lachonis, Amy J. Johnston, Lost Ate My Life: The Inside Story of a Fandom Like No Other, unnumbered page:

The episode turned out to be the last hurrah for 'Skaters' as Kate finally gave up on Sawyer due to his Juliet-mourning.

2010, Robert Dougherty, Lost: It Only Ends Once: An Unofficial Last Look, page 241:

Sawyer asks Kate if she's ready to get wet. Skaters cheer loudly.

2010, Nikki Stafford, Finding Lost, Season Six, unnumbered page:

(fandom slang) A shipper of Sawyer and Kate from the television series Lost.


Jater

For five years, spanning a few hookups and many breakups, there was no answer – until the show made up its mind for the 'Jaters.'

2010, Robert Dougherty, Lost: It Only Ends Once: An Unofficial Last Look, page 240:

I am a complete Jater, but I can't deny Kate and Sawyer's connection.

2012, Erin Leslie, Lost After Lost, page 15:

(fandom slang) A shipper of Jack and Kate from the television series Lost.


Suliet

The Suliet and Skate “shippers” (those who want to see Sawyer and Juliet or Sawyer and Kate together) went to war about whether Juliet was right or not.

2009, Nikki Stafford, Finding Lost, Season Five, unnumbered page:

If you’re a Suliet fan, then the defining moment is probably the dock scene from “LaFleur,” when Sawyer — using all his impossible powers of charm — convinces Juliet to stay on the island for just two more weeks.

2013 March 22, Darren Franich, “'Lost': Sawyer, Kate, and Juliet - Best TV Couple of All Time?”, in Entertainment Weekly:

But her heartfelt proclamation of love for Sawyer and his reaction to her imminent demise made many of us dig Suliet for the first (and last) time.

2015, James O'Ehley, Erin Willard, editors, The Take2 Guide to Lost: The Ultimate Compendium, unnumbered page:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters James "Sawyer" Ford and Juliet Burke from the television series Lost.


Jate

For example, a Jate shipper would say that “Jack and Kate are my OTP.”

Of course, 'Jate' fans may hope that she is destined to marry Jack, and become the 'Shephard' listed on the wall.

2010, Robert Dougherty, Lost: It Only Ends Once: An Unofficial Last Look, page 44:

I really enjoyed this episode – Jack and Kate get caught in a net (Loved the Jate this episode.)

Vulcan salute

From Vulcan (“(attributively) inhabitant of the fictional planet Vulcan in the television series Star Trek”) + salute. The gesture was devised by the American actor Leonard Nimoy (1931–2015) who portrayed the half-Vulcan character Spock in the television series Star Trek (originally broadcast 1966–1969); he first used it in “Amok Time”, the first episode of the second season aired on September 15, 1967.

compound

Sarek turned to the others, now offering the Vulcan salute. "Captain Kirk, Dr. McCoy, may you live long and prosper." / "Thank you, and the same to you, Mr. Ambassador," said Kirk, managing to force his hand into the proper position.

[1984 November, Jean Lorrah, chapter 3, in The Vulcan Academy Murders (Star Trek; 20), New York, N.Y.: Pocket Books, →ISBN, page 22:

Hang on: You are being beamed to one of those Star Trek conventions, where grownups greet each other with the Vulcan salute and offer in reverent tones to pay $100 for the autobiography of Leonard Nimoy.

1986 December 22, Charles Leerhsen, “Star Trek’s Nine Lives”, in Newsweek, New York, N.Y.: Newsweek, Inc., →ISSN, →OCLC, page 66; quoted in Henry Jenkins III, “Star Trek Rerun, Reread, Rewritten: Fan Writing as Textual Poaching”, in Constance Penley, Elisabeth Lyon, Lynn Spigel, Janet Bergstrom, editors, Close Encounters: Film, Feminism, and Science Fiction (A Camera Obscura Book), Minneapolis, Minn.: University of Minnesota Press, 1991 (1993 printing), →ISBN, page 171:

[W]e found a stalwart model [of glove]: Kombi's Lobster, a high-tech marvel with a unique clawlike design. […] The split-finger design combines the warmth of a mitten with added dexterity, making it easier for riders to grip their boards. As a bonus, it also lets them give other riders the split-finger Vulcan salute, just like Mr. Spock on the original Star Trek.

1995 March–April, Bill Grout, “Trial Run”, in Rick Kahl, editor, Skiing, volume 47, number 7, New York, N.Y.: Times Mirror Magazines, →ISSN, →OCLC, page 24, column 2:

For what would soon become known as the Vulcan salute, I borrowed a hand signal from Orthodox Judaism. During the High Holiday services, the Kohanim (who are the priests) bless those in attendance. As they do, they extend the palms of both hands over the congregation, with thumbs outstretched and the middle and ring fingers parted so that each hand forms two vees. This gesture symbolizes the Hebrew letter shin, the first letter in the word Shaddai; in the Jewish Qabala, shin also represents eternal Spirit.

1995 October, Leonard Nimoy, “Vulcanalia or The Vulcan Grows Up”, in I am Spock, New York, N.Y.: Hyperion, →ISBN, pages 67–68:

They may exchange Vulcan salutes in greeting as a sign of in-group status—the in-group being Star Trek fans rather than Vulcans.

2005, Henry Bial, “Fiddling on the Roof, 1964–1971”, in Acting Jewish: Negotiating Ethnicity on the American Stage & Screen, Ann Arbor, Mich.: University of Michigan Press, →ISBN, page 69:
