Hunger Games

From the titular fictional gladiatorial contests in The Hunger Games, first published in 2008.

2012 December 28, “Jockey James Winks falls prey to the Hunger Games of riding”, in news.com.au, archived from the original on 2012-12-28:

If the term “daytime TV” used to be synonymous with slightly ramshackle, undemanding programming attuned to the languid circadian rhythms of hungover students and the retired, it’s now a hyper-competitive arena of mechanical oneupmanship, a Hunger Games for image and sound editors.

2014 September 10, Graeme Virtue, “Who’s Doing the Dishes? is the best daytime TV in years”, in The Guardian:

Not playing the hunger games of success, not undergoing the mechanical hoopla of PR, he could go on stubbornly being Kent Haruf, doing his job.

2015 May 27, Ursula K Le Guin, “Our Souls at Night by Kent Haruf review – happiness at the end of life”, in The Guardian:

“[Registration week] always been The Hunger Games of scheduling,” Valdez said. “You ultimately get in based on timing and luck.”

2015 November 9, Nicholas Da Silva, “Registration Week: May the Odds Be Ever in Your Favor”, in The Montclarion, archived from the original on 2016-03-04:

quantum entanglement

Treksmut

In fact, I think one of the main reasons people write and read Treksmut (tm), is that the show very rarely shows these extremely attractive and appealing characters in romantic situations or settings, except for one-episode flings, which are usually conveniently forgotten by the next show, although this is refreshingly rare on DS9 and Voyager.

1997 May 5, Joanne Collins, “Re: TrekSmut, PWPs and Emotional Subtexts (Long and involved)”, in alt.startrek.creative (Usenet):

Has anyone had any problems storing Treksmut on a Tripod homepage?

1998 April 7, Deanna, “OT: Tripod and Treksmut?”, in alt.startrek.creative (Usenet):

conapt

Coined by Philip K. Dick from condominium + apartment.

The taxi let him off on the roof field of his conapt building; he descended by moving ramp and arrived at his own door.

I could sense there was no one else in the conapt.

The fact that she had begged him not to leave the conapt just now, expressing fear for his life with the Inquisitors at large, had likely contributed to those thoughts.

(science fiction) A condominium apartment.

1998 July 12, Stephanie Martinez, “Re: Totally Irrelevant Preferences”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

2001 April 3, clarkal, “Re: DEADALIVE.... what a weak way to bring Mulder back (Spoilers)”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

I posted opinions in the hope that changes might have been made that might have brought back all the departed viewers (do you really think that all the viewers who defected were die-hard Duchovniks??) and allowed a truly groundbreaking show to continue.

red pill

From a scene in the film The Matrix (1999), where the main character, who lives in a virtual world known as the Matrix, is given a choice between a red pill that will allow him to learn the truth about the Matrix and a blue pill that will return him to his simulated life.

To take the red pill is to choose to take responsibility for our lives, both on the personal and larger social levels.

2003, Glenn Yeffeth, Taking the Red Pill, page 148:

Do you want to continue to live in the false world of dieting, where emotional pain is numbed, health risks are ignored, and false promises are made? Or do you want to take the red pill, as it were, and see the reality of a world in which food and eating don't dominate or take over your life?

2011, Stephen Arterburn, Linda Mintle, Lose It for Life: The Total Solution, →ISBN, page 49:

We can offer ourselves the option of taking the red pill and, when the circumstances are right, we shall not be able to resist the lure of the naked truth; however hard it may be to stare it in the face.

2012, Yanis Varoufakis, Joseph Halevi, Nicholas Theocarakis, Modern Political Economics: Making Sense of the Post-2008 World, →ISBN:

Until the media and economy are democratically structured and regulated, the best people can do is take the red pill -- that is, utilize the alternative media for information and thereby purge their neurological systems of large misleading segments of their past education and the mainstream popular media.

2013, John C Alessio, Social Problems and Inequality, →ISBN:

As you choke down the red pill, we will begin to expound on that eternally important question that few people have bothered to ask, save once, likely around the tender age of four [...] the eternally important question, "What is money?"

2013, David Mint, What is Money? A Quest to Answer the Question of the Ages:

(informal) Something that enables or compels a person to overcome illusion and perceive harsher reality.

Most red pill thinkers will have already debunked this one and replaced it with a better story.

2017, Peter Wright, Red Pill Psychology: Psychology for men in a gynocentric world:

With the growth of 'the red pill' and similar such groups among men there is a growing realisation that life is very different in dating for 'alpha males' compared to everyone else.

2017, Player Mastermind, Gold Diggers and Sugar Daddies: The Red Pill Guide to Hypergamy:

The problems faced by men in America—the problems the Red Pill community points to as proof that we live in a gynocentric society—have deep historical roots; however, the Red Pill represents a new, dangerous phase of American masculinity in the internet age.

2018, Donna Zuckerberg, Not All Dead White Men: Classics and Misogyny in the Digital Age:

Indeed, this is the surprising core of the whole Red Pill theory of seduction: never stop begging for it.

If you are attracted to the truths presented in Red Pill culture, but are put off by any morality or atheism present, this book is for you.

2019, James a Deprisco, The Catholic Red Pill: A Guide for Men:

(slang, by extension) The subculture of men who share a belief in the gynocentrism of modern society; manosphere.

Used other than figuratively or idiomatically: see red, pill.

Matrix defense

From the plot of the film The Matrix (1999), whose protagonist is woken from an illusionary simulated world into the dystopian reality.

There is now a legal strategy called the "Matrix defense," which has been an effective form of insanity defense. The film evidently had a part in inspiring Lee Malvo, the Washington D.C. sniper, and it has been mentioned in connection with the Columbine High School killings, which happened less than a month after the release of The Matrix.

2012, C. Stephen Jaeger, Enchantment: On Charisma and the Sublime in the Arts of the West, University of Pennsylvania Press, →ISBN, page 41:

(US, law) A legal defense in which the defendant claims to have committed a crime in the belief that he/she was not in the real world, but in a simulated reality.

From Feynman + -ium.

(This problem goes away when relativity is considered.)

The hypothetical chemical element with atomic number 137.

Like when Aragorn starts on the paths of the dead bookwise he and his Dunedain are regarded, despite their small size, among the most powerful companies in the area. And then with the dead, he defeats armies in southern Gondor _and_ rallies those people to fight at his command, showing his ability as a king.

Homo superior

/ˌhəʊməʊ suːˈpɪəɹi.ə(ɹ)/

From Latin homo superior (literally “superior human”), modeled after New Latin Homo sapiens (literally “wise human”). Coined by Olaf Stapledon in his 1935 novel Odd John: A Story Between Jest and Earnest.

der

Homo Superior faced the little mob of Homo Sapiens, and it was immediately evident that Homo Superior was indeed the better man.

Magneto: "The first phase of my plan shall be to show my power... to make Homo sapiens bow to Homo superior!"

1963 September 10, Stan Lee, “X-Men”, in The X-Men, volume 1, number 1, page 11:

man in black

Coordinate term: black helicopter

Ever since the cessation of activity by Albert Bender in 1954, and followed closely by a few others, whose disappear[a]nce though less spectacular, from this field of work, caused a stir among the then active workers; the words he used in reference to his case "that he had been visited by three men in black, who demanded that he cease his investigations" left many to conjecture as to who they were, and what was their reason and who they represented.

1958, The Australian Saucer Record, volume 4, number 4, page 1:

Often they arrive at the scene of a UFO landing before those involves have had a chance to tell their story to the authorities, indicating that these Men-in-Black can read – as well as CONTROL – minds.

1991 March 26, John A. Keel, “Who are the UFO silencers?”, in Weekly World News, volume 12, number 25, page 8:

In many UFO sightings in which evidence of the sighting is claimed to exist, government "men in black" are reported to appear at the witnesses' doors demanding the evidence and threatening witnesses in the event they divulge any information regarding their sighting.

1995, James L. Thompson, Alien encounters: the deception menace, Cedar Fort, page 52:

Stories of “men-in-black,” who confront those who have witnessed a UFO with the intention of persuading them to keep their knowledge of space creatures a secret, are also amenable to folkloristic analysis.

1995, John A. Saliba, “UFO Contactee Phenomena from a Sociopsychological Perspective: A Review”, in The Gods have landed: new religions from other worlds, SUNY Press, page 218:

(ufology) A covert government operative, wearing a black suit and black aviator sunglasses, believed by conspiracy theorists to cover up UFO incidents.

timequake

Or you can have a revisable universe with one timeline (see Hogan's Thrice Upon a Time or Milennium^([sic]) by (I think) Joe Haldeman for the general idea) and in which your actions can "rewrite" the past from that point on. Here, if you shoot your grandfather, you generate a "timequake" in which something ugly happens. Probably you disappear, but there may be other side-effects as the universe works it out, which is, I think, what you are reffering^([sic]) to as the "great expense".

1996 November 16, Mike Abernathy, “Re: faster than light travel”, in sci.physics.electromag (Usenet), message-ID <56la8t$5@sjx-ixn2.ix.netcom.com>:

These little cars are called people pods. Each one has seats for two to four people. To ride in a people pod, you first buy a ticket from a computer. You push buttons on the computer to tell it where you want to go. You put the ticket in a slot in the small computer on the people pod.

Caleb continued to hold his gaze until the familiar grating of the dayshields lowering diverted his attention back over to the terrace doors.

The shelter of the day-shield moved across the heavens; the wise Lord had covered over the path of the sun with a sail in such a way that men dwelling on earth could not detect the mast-ropes, […]

In fact, I think one of the main reasons people write and read Treksmut (tm), is that the show very rarely shows these extremely attractive and appealing characters in romantic situations or settings, except for one-episode flings, which are usually conveniently forgotten by the next show, although this is refreshingly rare on DS9 and Voyager.

1997 May 5, Joanne Collins, “Re: TrekSmut, PWPs and Emotional Subtexts (Long and involved)”, in alt.startrek.creative (Usenet):

I've had hardcore Fivers point to both Jadzia Dax AND Kira as ripoffs of Ivanova (they can't decide which, I suppose) despite the fact that both premiered on DS9 first, and JMS didn't get rid of Ivanova until AFTER The Gathering, which showed when DS9 first came around.

hyperfield

It would take a phenomenally advanced technology to create that; but then, as we've all suddenly been granted superhuman powers, quantum hyperfield theory is the least of our problems.

2002 -, Peter F. Hamilton -, Misspent Youth:

The hyperfield itself could not be moved and remained there on the lava field suspended in the suds of the continuum at the exact point where the arc had entered the inertial frame of the Earth. Unless the titanohematite brain returned to that precise point where the connectionto 5-space waited, the hyperfield would weaken and in a few days smear away in the expansion of the universe.

The land was originally seeded for Prima Matra by those we call the 'Timewalkers' in conjunction with High Devas mythologically depicted as Unicorns.

2015 June 16, Trijcomm, “Men's rights fanatics defend Iowa mall shooter fired for sexual harassment: It's 'hard to blame him'”, in rec.sport.pro-wrestling (Usenet):

The red pill – while hinting that Simpson might become Nuke in the Marvel universe – seems in this context to function also as an obvious reference to “red pillers”, men’s rights activists who see themselves as proud anti-feminists interested in dominance, traditional gender roles, and the subjugation of women, whose flaws make that subjugation necessary.

2015 November 27, Lili Loofbourow, “Jessica Jones: shattering exploration of rape, addiction and control”, in The Guardian:

Instead "red pillers" believe in a shared delusional system in which "Feminazis" and "Social Justice Warriors" have taken over the world.

2015 December 30, Damian Walter, “Geek male identity has been reduced to Kylo Ren thrashing a computer with his sword - this needs to change”, in The Independent:

Its members often refer to themselves as “red pillers,” a reference to the Matrix scene in which Keanu Reeve’s character has the choice between taking a blue pill that will keep him in a fantasy world or a red pill that will thrust him into reality.

2016 December 26, Angelina Chapin, “Chapin: Why it’s impossible to reason with the alt-right”, in Ottawa Citizen:

Those requirements are apparently daunting to “red pillers.”

2017 April 30, Sarah Palermo, “My Turn: In defense of the f-word – how feminism aims to benefit everyone”, in Concord Monitor:

(Internet slang) One who believes that society is gynocentric.

xenonatomy

Until yesterday, McCoy had been teaching a course in Xenoanatomy at the Starfleet medical school on Prima, parsecs away.

The argument was that decisions had to be made by someone who was not herself a specialist, so she wouldn't give preferential treatment to xenoanatomy or linguistics or whatever. Martian cuisine.

I took a course in xenoanatomy. We dissected a variety of human corpses.

2001, Alex Akurgo, Camillus Abongo, May 9 at Accra Stadium: A Gripping Story of a Disaster that Turned Ordinary People Into Heroes:

The club's supporters (estimated to be in excess of 2 million) painted the whole of Ghana amber that night, their elation especially informed by the fact that apart from winning the first Champions League of the Millennium, the Phobians now stay firmly on the rail of bitter rivals Kotoko, who won the old-format Champions Cup twice and were losing finalists on five other occasions.
