"Why didn't you tell us you had one!" "I did. Back when I first ran into you all," she reminded them. "I had been calling Papa on my farspeaker when I was snatched here."

Générations Star Wars et Science Fiction

Coined by American filmmaker George Lucas as early as 1973 (in the manuscript Journal of the Whills, where it was spelled padawaan), but not used in his Star Wars film franchise until Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace which premiered on 16 May 1999.

coin

Just as Plato requires a training program that combines physical and mental skills, so does Yoda. The training you'll receive will probably be similar to the training young Luke Skywalker receives from Yoda, since you're probably nearer his age than younger padawans. Throughout his training, Luke questions Yoda about good and evil, the Force, and other concepts important to a Jedi. Likewise, Plato's Republic features a question-and-answer interplay between teacher and students as Socrates's "padawans" question him about justice and injustice, the nature of the Good, and the ideal government.

ancient astronaut

en-noun

ancient astronaut (plural ancient astronauts)

Is it possible for scientists to demonstrate that ancient astronauts have ever been here? No.

2001, Charles M. Wynn, Arthur W. Wiggins, Sidney Harris, Quantum leaps in the wrong direction: where real science ends-- and pseudoscience begins, Joseph Henry Press, page 58

Although academics have spent many hours showing the errors in von Däniken's reasoning, the Ancient Astronaut notion remains alive.

According to certain authors, intelligent extraterrestrial beings called ancient astronauts or ancient aliens have visited Earth, and this contacts is connected with the origins or development of human cultures, technologies, and religions.

2011, George Romero, The Rescue, George Romero, page 32:

Any of the extraterrestrial beings that, according to the pseudoscientific belief of paleocontact, visited Earth in the distant past, influencing human culture, technology, or religion.

Raelians follow a UFO religion.

More particularly, and important for understanding much UFO religions, is Blavatsky's belief that certain masters dwelt on Venus.

2003, Christopher Hugh Partridge, UFO religions, Routledge, page 10:

UFO religions are even stranger than science fiction.

2004, Susan J. Palmer, Aliens adored: Raël's UFO religion, Rutgers University Press, page 3:

UFO religions drink deeply from the waters of occulture, while, at the same time, seeking to reconcile their ideas with a contemporary secular and scientific worldview.

A religion in which extraterrestrials figure prominently.


Spockish

en-adj

most Spockish (superlative)

Gary Oldman is pale with pale blue eyes and Spockish ears.

1997, Film review: Special: Issues 18-21:

In the early shows, Leonard Nimoy and the various writers and directors struggled to find the Spockish response to emotionally charged situations.

1998, Grace Lee Whitney, Jim Denney, Leonard Nimoy, The Longest Trek: My Tour of the Galaxy, page 89:

Rather like the Spockish character Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation, psychology is coming to appreciate the power and virtues of emotions in mental life, as well as their dangers.

2009, Daniel Goleman, Emotional Intelligence, page 41:

It is not driven by the fiction of optimization in the manner of Dr.^([sic]) Spock in Star Trek―obsessively using high-tech logic tools. Such a Spockish approach often tends to mis-characterize the nature of the problem when the environment is complex, turbulent and evolving.

2010, Ruth Hubbard, Gilles Paquet, The Case for Decentralized Federalism, page 211:

Resembling or characteristic of the Star Trek character Mr Spock, especially in being excessively logical and emotionless.

asteroidian

But you remained conservative, A changeless asteroidian.

1932, California Poets: An Anthology of 244 Contemporaries, page 706:

Whatever else can be said about the world inhabited by Lesabéndio and his fellow asteroidians, this much is certain: their proper names derive from the first sounds they emit, not from a procedure of designation akin to the establishment of technical terms, and the laws governing the waxing and waning of their bodies are unlike those under which the bodies on the surface of the earth fall.

2011, Peter Fenves, The Messianic Reduction: Walter Benjamin and the Shape of Time, page 230:

What gags Flora is that Rod blew the Saturnienne to protect the asteroidians against North American culture , even though that cut him off from one wife, one concubine, and one son.

2014, E. Hoffmann Price, Operation Longlife, page 157:

(science fiction) One who is from or lives on an asteroid.

Because rumor has it, that they are three times as ugly, meaner, greedier and war mongering than the Earthlings, could ever be. Yes, if you can believe it, they are even worse than the Iguanoids.

2013, R. J. Denardo, The Captain's Propensity: The Andromeda Incident II, page 179:

Iguanoids stand three foot five to five five and use their long tail for balance.

2021, Craig Campobasso, The Extraterrestrial Species Almanac, page 231:

The Chameleons, another species connected to the Iguanoids, are characterized as a colorful race of reptilians that serve as watchers or guards for the Draco Reptilians, informing them of the political events taking place around the galaxy.

2023, Malik Bade, The Matrix & The Forbidden Knowledge - Extraterrestrial Edition, page 161:

(science fiction) A type of reptilian (reptilian alien)

clockpunk

The term [steampunk] is also frequently applied to works set in original worlds drawing inspiration from nineteenth century culture and technology, and at times is even used to refer to comparable blends of alternate history and retro-futurism across a much wider historical span (blurring with categories like Renaissance-era "clockpunk" and interwar "dieselpunk").

2011, Nader Elhefnawy, After the New Wave: Science Fiction Since 1980, Createspace, →ISBN:

Then sometime in the early 90's^([sic]) came steampunk. Alright, that's a little goofy, but people understood what it meant. It was the "punk"-like hacker culture from cyberpunk using Victorian era, steam based technology. […] But authors couldn't stop there! No, they had to go back further and write about clockpunk: hackers in Da Vinci's time making things run on springs and gears and other clockwork.

2011, Ted Stoltz, Universal Serendipity, Lulu Press, →ISBN, pages 43–44:

Oddly enough, K. W. Jeter wrote a clockpunk novel in 1987 called Infernal Devices. The story takes place in London and involves human-fish hybrids and a brilliant clockwork maker whose father had been experimenting with building automata, clockwork humans.

2013, Lois H. Gresh, The Mortal Instruments Companion, St. Martin's Press, →ISBN, page 132:

A subgenre of speculative fiction, based on the technology and society of the Renaissance.


sandalpunk

Do you have something against sandalpunk or something? If you don't like that, try some Bacon. Roger Bacon, that is.

2006 March 15, Llewelyn Jones <llywelynjones@yahoo.co.uk>, “ASBs Invade”, in soc.history.what-if (Usenet), message-ID <4769418477491436>:

I've been planning out a sort of sandalpunk-leading-to-steampunk alternate history setting for a while, but I've not yet gotten to a satisfactory level of detail or plausibility to do anything but the most basic story-idea-outlining in it.

2006 May 26, Logan Kearsley <chrono.surfer@verizon.net>, “Telling time in antiquity”, in rec.arts.sf.composition (Usenet), message-ID <9d3eaa093f0d1c9d>:

The specificity of steampunk's Victorian setting, particular in light of the relative presence and notoriety of steampunk vis-à-vis similar subgenres set in other time periods ('clockpunk' or 'sailpunk' set in the Renaissance, such as Paul McAuley's Pasquale's Angel; 'sandalpunk,' set in a technologically innovative ancient world; 'dieselpunk,' 'stonepunk,' etc.) argues for the importance to the present of shifts in technological culture that took place during the Victorian era.

2011, Noam S. Cohen, Speculative Nostalgias: Metafiction, Science Fiction and the Putative Death of the Novel, →ISBN:

A subgenre of speculative fiction, based on the technology and society of the Iron Age, especially the Roman Empire.


sailpunk

Don't forget about chain - great for shredding your target's rigging and not half bad as an antipersonnel round too. (Well, if you're in a "SailPunk" setting it's useful, anyway... Arrr, matey; scupper me wi' a handspike if it ain't so.)

1996 April 27, Carl Perkins <carl@gergo.tamu.edu>, “Re: Barriers”, in rec.games.frp.cyber (Usenet), message-ID <f2ab6ed35a112b8d>:

I notice also that on paper are available nifty and *original* places for live sailpunk RPG'ing but I fear that RN and USN will really frown at the idea of a bunch of live role-players fooling aboard HMS Victory and USS Constitution respectively...

2010 April 25, dott.Piergiorgio <dott.PiergiorgioNIHON@KAIGUN.fastwebnet.it>, “Re: Steampunk Martians”, in sci.military.naval (Usenet), message-ID <854ef539444badc6>:

A subgenre of speculative fiction, focusing on life at sea during the eras of exploration and piracy.


fanac

This, however, is only part of the story—just as fanzines and fan activity (Fanac) are only a part of the totality which is fandom.

1956 September, Robert Bloch, “Some of Best Fans are Friends”, in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, volume 11, number 3, page 57:

It must be emphasised that this was genuinely a 'historical' action; letter-writing to the prozines is currently a discouraged area of fanac.

1977, Brian Ash, The Visual encyclopedia of science fiction, Harmony Books, page 274:

The advent of the computer and the modem means that an increasingly large number of fans indulge in most of their fanac online.

2002, Mike Resnick, Once a Fan..., Wildside Press LLC, page 274:

(dated, fandom slang) The activity of fans, particularly of science fiction.


atompunk

In fact, there was a fair amount of stuff around in the 60s and 70s that can only be explained as cross-dimensional leakage from an Atompunk universe.

2001 October 31, Simon Bradshaw, “Re: Steampunk Recommendations?”, in rec.arts.sf.written (Usenet), message-ID <memo.20011031191447.43761C@sjbradshaw.compulink.co.uk>:

Perfect "atompunk" feel – reactors with nervous engineers and analog controls.

For the Legion, we're looking at 20th century futures rather than 19th. Analogies with steampunk might be "dieselpunk", "atompunk", or "rocketpunk" – but any Legion of Super-Heroes worthy of the name seems to be as far from the "punk" aspect as it's possible to get.

2004 March 6, Michael S. Schiffer, “Re: Earth-2 Legion Synopsis”, in rec.arts.comics.dc.lsh (Usenet), message-ID <Xns94A49BD7E514mss2mediaonenet@130.133.1.4>:

According to a mailing list from the Netherlands, Atompunk is devoted to the cultural period (mostly of the United States) of between 1945 to 1965. While the moniker hasn't become a part of our country's vernacular yet (though I'm sure some of you already started using it ages ago), it sounds just annoyingly catchy enough to warrant a New York Times trend piece in about eight years.

2012 April 8, Elaine Chow, “Space Age Fetishism Getting Silly New Moniker: Atompunk”, in Gizmodo, archived from the original on 2016-08-28:

Atompunk covers the pre-digital period of 1945–1965, including mid-century Modernism, the Atomic Age and Space Age. Throw Roger Thornhill's suits in this basket, and everything ever worn on Mad Men. This takes us right up to the mid '60s, when the fictional worlds of yesterday abut the real worlds you grew up in.

2012, William J. Thompson, “Time Travel”, in Dress Like a Grownup!: A Complete Tutorial for the Average Guy, 2nd edition, volume 1, [Morrisville, N.C.]: Lulu.com, →ISBN, part 2 (Advanced Theory), page 55:

You keep imagining someone 20 years from now reading The Peripheral the way that we read Neuromancer today, perplexed at the now-unfathomable ubiquity of cassettes and modems. We laugh at the past or mine it for influence – think of steampunk, atompunk, dieselpunk, and the million other microgenres based on the incongruity of old societies and future tech – but someday, the future is going to do the same to us.

2014 October 27, Adi Robertson, “William Gibson’s ‘The Peripheral’: Looking Back at the Future: A Smart, Nuanced Twist on Time Travel”, in The Verge, archived from the original on 2017-05-05:

Additionally, while [Sebastian] Faulks aspires to write as [Ian] Fleming, he takes care to increase the serving of action, in fact including some interesting bits of atompunk—a nuclear-powered ekranoplan, Vulcan bombers.

2015, Nader Elhefnawy, The Forgotten James Bond, [s.l.]: [s.n.]:

A great aurora spread across the heavens, and the Thukker infantrymen lost all hope as their commlinks went dead and the TACNET dropped offline. In that moment, each man understood that they were doomed.

2008, Tony Gonzales, Eve: The Empyrean Age:

Sheppard removed his commlink unit and attempted to access the engineering duty officer to report the occurrence.

(science fiction) A communications device.


vidphone

1989, Ron Goulart (ghostwriting for William Shatner), TekWar
The vidphone screen remained blank. “You're looking good, Jake, looking very good all things considered.” “Wish I could say the same for you, Wiz. Why the blackout?” “Reasons, I got my reasons,” came the whispering voice […]


eyephone

One system in the works in this country would have us wearing "eyephones," a helmet-like apparatus with a small TV screen […] With the eyephones, each eye will receive only one field, but filters will adjust the picture.

1979, Science digest: Volume 86, Issue 2:

Further along on the "naturalness of use" continuum are today's working VR projects where users are tethered by devices such as eyephones and datagloves.

1993, Diane M. Gayeski, Multimedia for Learning: Development, Application, Evaluation, page 82:

State-of-the-art eyephones (head mounted visual displays) are not considered to be suitable for providing a realistic or natural visual environment.

1997, Dafydd Gibbon, Roger Moore, Richard Winski, Spoken Language Characterisation, page 185:

The key element in this group of technologies is 'automatic head position tracking', which allows the wearer of an eyephone to scan a computer-generated landscape in a quasi-natural way.

1998, Richard Gough, Ric Allsopp, Claire MacDonald, On Tourism, page 12:

He locked the door, put the CLOSED sign up, and went into the back room where he found the boy still seated, cross-legged, as he'd left him, his face hidden by the massive old eyephones cabled to the open notebook in his lap.

1999, William Gibson, All Tomorrow's Parties:

“That apparatus you see on his head is an eyephone. Inside it are tiny video screens that are transmitting to its wearer images of an opponent on the other end […]

2008, Thomas Quealy, Is That You?, page 87:

(sometimes science fiction) A device that allows the wearer to watch video material as if immersed in the world being shown.


wanderstar

From wander + star, probably a calque of German Wandelstern (“planet”). Compare the historic term wandering star, like the German term ultimately a calque from Ancient Greek.

He had thumbed about in Chants of a Wander-Star last night in bed and wondered about the career of that marginal versifier — born out of his proper time and now remembered by Ackley in an era even less proper.

1994, Ellen Datlow, Terri Windling, The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror:

A thin scythe of moon was rising, near the white wanderstar of dawn or dusk.

He passed gulls, terns, cormorants as if they were standing still. Now and then a wander-star crossed the heavens: one of the metal eyes the ancients hung over Alifros to spy on their enemies.

2009, Robert V. S. Redick, The Red Wolf Conspiracy:

(science fiction, fantasy) A wandering star or other similar heavenly body; a comet; meteor; planet.


ghost rocket

A poem in Copenhagen’s Berlingske Tidende, July 31, 1946, last page, made reference to a recent sensational ghost rocket sighting over Byen, expressing relief that the “rocket” was actually a meteor:

2001, Robert E. Bartholomew, Little Green Men, Meowing Nuns, and Head-hunting Panics: A Study of Mass Psychogenic Illness and Social Delusion, McFarland, page 273:

Many ghost rocket sightings came from Sweden, which is near the Soviet Union. U.S. and British officials convinced the Swedes to study reports of the ghost rockets. The Swedes found pieces of metal that they though came from crashed ghost rockets.

2011, Michael Burgan, Andrew Nichols, Searching for Aliens, UFOs, and Men in Black, Capstone Press, page 11:

The Swedish experts claimed that some 20 percent of the ghost rocket reports appeared to be neither aircraft nor natural phenomena.

2012, Ronald Story, The Mammoth Encyclopedia of Extraterrestrial Encounters, Constable & Robinson Ltd, page 243:

(ufology) Any of the rocket- or missile-shaped unidentified flying objects sighted in 1946, mostly in Sweden and nearby countries.

spökraket

black triangle

Somewhere behind that blinking yellow light that black triangle was hovering, (or moving only a few miles per hour), in our direction, straight at us.

2005, Bill Foster, Peggy Foster, Nadine Wheeler, The Black Triangle Abduction, The Invisible College Press, page 22

Note: The black triangle is a commonly seen UFO.

2007, Craig R. Lang, The Cosmic Bridge, Close Encounters and Human Destiny, lulu.com, page 4:

On Thursday, July 15, 2004, I flew to Denver, Colorado, where I was scheduled to speak at the annual symposium of the Mutual UFO Network on the subject of a particular type of UFO that has become known as the “Black Triangle,” and one that has been seen regularly in the skies of practically every corner of the planet for approximately the last two decades.

2009, Nick Redfern, Memoirs of a Monster Hunter, ReadHowYouWant.com, page 105:

Just three years after the Belgian black triangle incident, a similar craft appeared over RAF Cosford and RAF Shawbury.

2011, William J. Birnes, The Everything UFO Book: An Investigation of Sightings, Cover-ups, and the Quest for Extraterrestrial Life, Adams Media, page 229:

(ufology) One of a class of triangle-shaped unidentified flying objects, usually with a light in each corner.


Haunebu

This technology led to the amazing German flying saucers of the Haunebu and Vril classes built under SS auspices.

2003, Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke, Black Sun: Aryan Cults, Esoteric Nazism, and the Politics of Identity, NYU Press, page 295:

[…] and what crashed at Roswell was most likely a Haunebu.

2007, James Sheridan, The Pandora Prescription, Sterling & Ross Publishers, page 17:

However, some weeks after Ger-many surrendered, both Haunebu and Vril craft were spotted in the skies over occupied Germany.

2010, George Romero, The Rescue, Lotus Vision Publishing Company, page 165

(ufology, plural "Haunebus") Any of a class of flying saucers supposedly built by the Nazis.


Vril

Coined by British statesman and author Edward Bulwer-Lytton in the 1871 science fiction novel The Coming Race, later titled Vril, apparently as a clipping of virile.

coined

These subterranean philosophers assert that by one operation of vril, which Faraday would perhaps call ‘atmospheric magnetism,’ they can influence the variations of temperature—in plain words, the weather; […]

1871, Edward Bulwer-Lytton (published anonymously), The Coming Race, Edinburgh and London: William Blackwood and Sons, page 47:

It devoted its time to the study of vril, and taught that the secret of vril could be divined by contemplating the structure of an apple sliced in half.

2003, John Michael Greer, The New Encyclopedia of the Occult, Llewellyn Publications, page 506:

I have written a second book, Vrilology, which explores the historic background of the Life Force, which we refer to as Vril, and another simple book explaining just what Vril is and how it can help people improve their lives, filling them with happiness, joy and prosperity.

2010, Robert Blumetti, Vril: The Life Force of the Gods, iUniverse, page 7:

(science fiction, mysticism) A controllable form of energy.

Coordinate term: Haunebu

Operation Highjump has turned out to be a hot topic for UFO conspiracy theorists over recent years, who claim it was a secret US military campaign to defeat and destroy supposed secret Nazi facilities in Antarctica and seize the German Vril flying discs, and the Thule mercury propelled spacecraft.

2012, Jack Follett, Special Report 2011: Hitler's Secret UFO Weapons, BoD – Books on Demand, page 38:

(ufology, attributive) A kind of flying saucer supposedly built by the Nazis.

skyship

(science fiction) A vehicle that flies through the sky.


redskirt

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

From red + skirt. Patterned after redshirt, which derived from the tendency for male security officers, who wore red shirts, to die on episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series. Female crew members wore minidresses, but only one red-uniformed female character was killed during the series' run, in the episode "By Any Other Name."

Wasn't there that episode where the aliens turned everyone into little blocks of styrofoam, and one of the aliens turned a redskirt and a redshirt into cubes and crumbled one of them? And then Scotty got really drunk. I seem to recall that the redskirt bought it that time.

2007 February 10, Marc Goodman, “Re: Response to Steven Pinker's 'The Mystery of Consciousness'”, in alt.religion.kibology (Usenet):

(fiction, fandom slang, rare) An unimportant or expendable female character, especially one introduced only to be killed in order to underscore the peril faced by important characters.


pelicanist

From pelican + -ist. Coined by Jerome Clark in reference to claims that Kenneth Arnold’s 1947 UFO sighting was pelicans.

Kottmeyer and others who use the psychosocial hypothesis constantly produce evidence to support their ideas, whereas the ETH proponents can produce only cranky ideas about magnetic, anti-gravity or interdimensional saucers, accompanied by a constant whining about "sceptics" and "debunkers" (not to mention "armchair ufologists" and "pelicanists").

2000 November 22, “Blue Resonant Human” (username), “::: Should Saucers Spin? :::”, in alt.alien.research, Usenet

Meanwhile, those of us who’ve experienced UFOs in various ways are called mentally ill, intellectually challenged, spiritually needy, liars, drunks, drug users, attention getters, drama queens, and more. Those all are worse than being called a thug, skeptibunkie, or Pelicanist. (Pelicanist is a term coined by UFO researcher Jerome Clark.)

2006 September 12, “LordOfThyNight” (username), “The Usual Purple Tinged Hyperbole About UFOs”, in The Paranormal & Ghost Society, Usenet

As opposed to... Skepticism of the pelicanist flavor perhaps ?

2009 November 29, “Tom Booth” (username), “For Serena,”, in alt.fan.landmark, Usenet

(chiefly ufology, derogatory) Someone who attempts to explain away UFO reports by means of any explanation, however illogical.


Tall White

All of the Tall White scout craft were very high performance vehicles.

2007, Charles James Hall, Millennial Hospitality IV: After Hours, AuthorHouse, page 322:

No one is sure when the Tall Whites arrived on earth, some saying in the Pre-Columbian period […]

2007, Gregory L. Reece, UFO religion: inside flying saucer cults and culture, I. B. Tauris, page 76:

However, in the years that followed, such descriptions became so common that this type of alien became known as the Tall White.

2011, Stuart A. Kallen, Aliens, ReferencePoint Press, page 26:

(ufology) A member of a certain race of extraterrestrials


balonium

From baloney + -ium. See baloney (“nonsense”).

I assumed starship fuel (antimatter or balonium) could be produced from electricity with perfect conversion, so it cost exactly what electricity did — good enough for the one-digit-or-so accuracy needed.

1990, Analog science fact, science fiction: Volume 110:

Suppose that we have a Geiger counter and we are able to make measurements, during a ten hour period, of the balonium sample.

1993, American Statistical Association, Proceedings of the Section on Statistical Education:

The data in Table 7.7 were taken for the highly radioactive element balonium-245.

2004, Mark T. Holtzapple, W. Dan Reece, Concepts in Engineering:

List of fictional elements, materials, isotopes and subatomic particles


helijet

Tomiko waited less than an hour, then flew with Harfex to the area where Osden had reported himself the night before. But as the helijet hovered over the sea of purplish leaves, illimitable, impenetrable, she felt a panic despair.

1972, Ursula K. Le Guin, Vaster Than Empires and More Slow:

Suddenly there was a glare of fight and the sound of an explosion from one of the other helijets, the one carrying Blare Oblomot. Heshke gasped with shock, and saw the flaring skeleton of the jet plummeting earthward in the darkness.

2001, Barrington J. Bayley, Collision with Chronos, page 20:

The two men heard a sound from above, and looked up to see three police helijets hovering overhead.

2002, Moss Tosney, The Ten Percent Man, page 572:

(science fiction) A flying vehicle resembling a helicopter and/or a jet.

Thus, everyday sourstuff has eight neitherbits with its eight firstbits, but there are also kinds with five, six, seven, nine, ten, and eleven neitherbits. A samestead is known by the tale of both kernel motes, so that we have sourstuff-13, sourstuff-14, and so on, with sourstuff-16 being by far the mostfound.
