Tír na nÓg

Borrowed from Irish Tír na nÓg (literally “land of the young”), from Old Irish Tír inna n-Óc. Cognate with Scottish Gaelic Tìr nan Òg, Manx Çheer ny Aeg.

bor+

2013, John Jacob English, Fragile Blue, AuthorHouse, page 40,
In the old Irish folklore, this is a land where no one gets old or sick and where heroes live in comfort and tranquillity. But the land of Tír na nÓg only materialises to mere mortals at certain times, under certain circumstances.

2016, Christopher Collins, Theatre and Residual Culture, Springer Nature (Palgrave Macmillan), page 261,
Tír na nÓg is not an afterlife analogous to the Christian concept of heaven but an Otherworld of earthly paradise that is home to the genealogical ancestors of the fairies, the Tuatha Dé Danaan.

2020, Isabelle Torrance, Post-Ceasefire Antigones and Northern Ireland, Isabelle Torrance, Donncha O'Rourke (editors), Classics and Irish Politics, 1916–2016, Oxford University Press, page 338,
Grafting Tír na nÓg, the mythical land of eternal youth in Irish mythology, onto the Greek tragic tale is a stark and unexpected move.

(Irish mythology) The Land of (eternal) Youth; one of the names for the Celtic otherworld (or possibly a part thereof).

Indyref

Abbreviation of independence referendum.

In the first foreign policy initiative launched in Edinburgh since 1707, senior SNP figures have begun an intense round of behind-the-scenes meetings with foreign dignitaries as they prepare the ground for next year's indyref.

2013 October 23, David Leask, “SNP’s mission to woo the world”, in The Herald, Glasgow, archived from the original on 2017-05-17:

Experienced politicians were surprised by the astounding vitality that the indyref unleashed.

2014 September 23, Peter Jones, “Referendum shows the power of people”, in The Scotsman, Edinburgh, archived from the original on 2017-05-17:

Coming exactly a year after the same “impossible” moment when the Yes vote hit 51 per cent before the indyref, this concerted and hysterical attack will have stirred memories and prompted sympathy among fellow Trident and austerity-opposing Yes voters.

2015 September 13, Lesley Riddoch, “Corbyn could play well with Scots”, in The Scotsman, Edinburgh, archived from the original on 2016-03-24:

My only regrets are thatbrad T2 failed to get to grips with the new era of #indyref and Scottish national identity – for which Renton's famous "shite" speech helped plant a tiny seed in 1996 – and that the second film didn't give the women characters much to do, especially the excellent Kelly Macdonald and Shirley Henderson.

2017 January 19, Peter Bradshaw, “T2 Trainspotting review – choose a sequel that doesn’t disappoint”, in The Guardian, London, archived from the original on 2017-01-20:

(Scotland, informal) The Scottish independence referendum held on 18 September 2014.

Mộ-phần của ông (lập ở trong vường, gần ngay căn nhà tranh ông ở lúc sinh-thời) do ông Huỳnh-Thúc-Kháng đứng lên trông-nom việc xây cất. Nhờ số tiền quyên-trợ, ông Huỳnh-Thúc-Kháng còn cho làm thêm được một nhà thờ nhỏ lợp ngói để thờ ông, thay vào túp lều tranh trước kia ông dùng làm thư-phòng.

The construction of his tomb (in the garden, next to the thatched shack he lived in) was supervised by Huỳnh Thúc Kháng. Thanks a donation, Huỳnh Thúc Kháng also had a small tiled house of worship made for him, in place of the thatched tent he used as a study.

Hiếm có nhà thờ tổ của dòng họ nào ở Việt Nam lại có quy mô lớn như thế. Nhà thờ họ nằm ngoài cánh đồng, bề thế như một ngôi đình làng với hậu cung, đại bái, tả mạc, hữu mạc, sân tế… đủ sức chứa cho 500 người về hành hương.

2005, Lê Trung Vũ with Lê Hồng Lý, “Nghệ An”, in Nguyễn Minh Tiến, editor, Lễ hội Việt Nam [Vietnamese Festivals], Nhà xuất bản Văn hoá Thông tin:

Rare are any families' ancestral houses of worship in Vietnam with such scale. The family house of worship is in the open paddy, as grand as a village shrine with a back house, a main house, a left wing, a right wing, a courtyard, etc. with a housing capacity for 500 pilgrims.

Nhà thờ họ thường là nơi giúp họ nhớ lại những đỉnh cao vinh quang của dòng họ, những tấm gương sáng của tổ tiên và đồng thời những ước vọng của mỗi còn[sic] người trong dòng họ được nguyện cầu tại đây.

(Can we date this quote?), “Nhà thờ họ thờ ai và một số lưu ý khi thiết kế nhà thờ họ [The Worshipped and Other Things to Keep in Mind When Designing a Family House of Worship]”, in Bàn Thờ Việt [Viet Altar]:

A family house of worship is where the family keep remembrances of their glory and the role models among their ancestors, as well as keep the wishes of each member who prays there.

Hiện nay ở Bạc Liêu có 15 nhà thờ, trong đó có 12 nhà thờ Công giáo, 3 nhà thờ Tin Lành. Các nhà thờ này chủ yếu do người Kinh xây dựng từ giữa thế kỷ XIX đến nay.

Currently, there are 15 churches in Bạc Liêu, including 12 Catholic and 3 Protestant ones. These churches were built mainly by the Kinh from the middle 19th century to this day.

Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells

en-noun

Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells (plural Disgusteds of Tunbridge Wells)

An invented pseudonym of the supposed writer of a letter to a local newspaper in the archetypal Middle England town of Tunbridge Wells. Possibly first coined 1944 in the BBC radio series Much-Binding-in-the-Marsh.

The Post Office bitterly resents the criticism that is constantly voiced in the British press, both by "Disgusteds of Tunbridge Wells" and journalists.

1979, Adrian Hope, “Kept Incommunicado”, in New Scientist, page 1048:

It was refreshing that what raised the hackles of Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells had nothing to do with a colourful range of jumpers, nor a flighty Italian art director/photographer.

Of course 'Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells' was never a Labour voter.

2003, Colin Leys, Market-driven Politics: Neoliberal Democracy and the Public Interest, Verso, →ISBN, page 216:

The Sussex Weald is all small towns and villages, 99 per cent white, gravel-drived, car-owning, the sort of place Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells would move to if he found Tunbridge Wells a bit too bustling.

2007, Jeremy Paxman, The Political Animal, Penguin UK, →ISBN:

The inanity of the British attack is obvious from some of the words the early Disgusteds of Tunbridge Wells complained about.

2011, Justin Webb, Notes on Them and Us: From the Mayflower to Obama – the British, the Americans and the special essential relationship., Short Books, →ISBN:

(UK, idiomatic) A stereotypical vocal conservative curmudgeon.


Devonwall

"The Highlands and Islands" phenomenon is the Scottish equivalent of "Devonwall" and all efforts must be made to challenge the creation of any more "Highlands and Islands" institutions which bring together the Highlands and the Northern Isles.

2000, Celtic League, Carn, volumes 108-117, page 4:

A conference at Newquay in November 1987, called at the behest of the Duke of Cornwall, allowed the proponents of 'Devonwall' to come up with a proposal for a Devon and Cornwall Development Company.

2003, Bernard Deacon, Garry Tregidga, Mebyon Kernow and Cornish Nationalism:

A new power to cross previously sacrosanct English county boundaries will arouse deep controversy in some parts, most notably in the far south-west of England where a 'Devonwall' constituency will become a reality and disappoint electors in both Cornwall and Devon.

2013, Justin Fisher, Christopher Wlezien, The UK General Election of 2010: Explaining the Outcome, Routledge, →ISBN, page 173:

Part and parcel of its involvement in such issues as industrial development, a Cornish university and the amalgamation of Cornish and Devonian public bodies (what became known as 'Devonwall') was a more public profile for its leaders.

2014, Derek R. Williams, Following 'An Gof': Leonard Truran, Cornish Activist and Publisher, The Cornovia Press, →ISBN, page 14:

(chiefly derogatory) The merger of local government structures in Devon and Cornwall.

Milifandom

Abby says the Milifandom, which started last week, is “a movement against the distorted media portrayal of Ed”.

2015 April 21, Rebecca Ratcliffe, “Milifandom soars with Twitter backing for Labour leader Ed Miliband”, in The Guardian:

The student, who describes the 'Milifandom' as 'a movement against the distorted media portrayal of Ed', started the unlikely cult-following of Miliband in the run-up to the May election.

That, Ed Miliband told the Evening Standard, was his wife Justine's reaction to the news that her husband had a fandom. Milifandom.

2015, Iain Watson, Five Million Conversations: How Labour lost and election and rediscovered its roots:

So I jokingly suggested to an excolleague at BuzzFeed via Twitter that this could be her next piece, since she'd been the first to uncover the 'Milifandom' (the band of teenage girls who had developed swooning, semiironic crushes on Labour leader Ed Miliband during the 2015 eelection campaign).

2016, Robert Colvile, The Great Acceleration: How the World is Getting Faster, Faster:

A teenager has taken Milifandom to a whole new level by getting Ed Miliband's face tattooed on her thigh.

2016 January 12, Dan Bloom, “Milifandom taken to whole new level as teen fan gets Ed Miliband's face tattooed on her thigh”, in The Mirror:

And after Milifandom signally failed to shift votes in places like Nuneaton, the PM told last year’s post-election party conference ‘Britain and Twitter are not the same thing’.

2016 June 22, Paul Waugh, “How The ‘Ground War’, And Digital Targeting, Will Decide The EU Referendum Result”, in The Huffington Post:

(colloquial, UK politics) An Internet-based youth movement in support of Ed Miliband, then leader of the British Labour Party.


Brexit

Blend of Britain + exit, formed by analogy with Grexit.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the earliest attested use is on 15 May 2012 in a Euractiv blog post by Peter Wilding titled “Stumbling towards the Brexit”, formed by analogy with Grexit, coined on 6 February 2012.

Unless a clear view is pushed that Britain must lead in Europe at the very least to achieve the completion of the single market then the portmanteau for Greek euro exit might be followed by another sad word, Brexit.

2012 May 15, Peter Wilding, “Stumbling towards the Brexit”, in EurActiv, archived from the original on 2016-06-24:

The business community began to take the idea of Brexit seriously. Three major American banks, the Bank of America, Citibank and Morgan Stanley, revealed they were working on contingency plans to relocate from London to Dublin […]

2015, Denis MacShane, Brexit: How Britain Will Leave Europe, London: I.B. Tauris, →ISBN, page 6:

David Cameron has resigned as Prime Minister after Britain voted to leave the European Union. It followed a turbulent night with Remain campaigners quietly confident until the early hours when results from Newcastle and Sunderland showed better than expected returns for the Brexit camp. A surprise victory for a Brexit in Swansea, which was expected to vote to Remain, did little to dampen concerns despite Scotland overwhelmingly backing staying in the Union.

2016 June 24, Kate McCann, “EU referendum live: David Cameron resigns after UK shocks the world by voting for Brexit”, in The Daily Telegraph, archived from the original on 2016-06-24:

The pensions of British Eurocrats are shaping up to be one of the most politically poisonous points in the UK’s Brexit talks, as the EU and London prepare to clash over liabilities running to several billion euros.

2016 August 1, Alex Barker, Jim Brunsden, “Eurocrats’ pensions shape up to be flashpoint in Brexit talks”, in The Financial Times, London:

We must lift the uncertainty caused by Brexit.

2017 June 19, Michel Barnier, “Brexit Negotiations: David Davis says ‘Promising Start’ Made”, in BBC News:

[Donald] Tusk said: “Our agreement will not make trade between the UK and the EU frictionless or smoother. It will make it more complicated and costly than today, for all of us. This is the essence of Brexit.”

2018 March 7, Daniel Boffey, Jennifer Rankin, “EU scorns UK’s ‘pick and mix’ approach to trade post-Brexit”, in The Guardian, London:

Meanwhile, The Sunday Times revealed that civil servants had warned of a “Doomsday Brexit” if no agreement is reached, creating shortages of medicine, fuel and food.

2018 June 5, “Brexit poll reveals record number of voters think decision to leave EU is wrong”, in The Independent, London:

“It’s all incredibly unhelpful and what we need to do now is to get closer with our European partners and work out what a realistic, pragmatic Brexit is that works for both sides, the EU and ourselves.”

2018 June 23, “Brexit: Theresa May ‘not bluffing’ in threat to leave EU without a deal, Tory minister Liam Fox says”, in The Independent, London:

A further referendum is not just a way for voters to decide whether to incur the economic and social cost of a final Brexit deal.

2019 March 5, David Miliband, “As foreign secretary I argued against an EU referendum. Now I back one”, in The Guardian:

The EESC also considers that the €5.4 billion reserve will not be sufficient to mitigate the negative effects of Brexit and asks the co-legislators to increase the proposed ceiling.

2021 November, Christiaan van Lierop, European Parliamentary Research Service:

Brexit has also made it harder for the UK to deport migrants back to the EU as the country has left the bloc’s asylum scheme.

2021 December 2, “Frontex plane arrives in northern France to help fight people smuggling”, in Euronews, sourced from AFP:

Thanks to Brexit, many ferry companies now run direct from Ireland to the EU mainland, bypassing UK ports such as Fishguard, with an impact on traffic.

2022 November 16, Paul Bigland, “From rural branches to high-speed arteries”, in RAIL, number 970, page 52:

Even the BBC, long prevaricating on the issue, has started properly reporting the Brexit catastrophe, particularly its impact on the cost of living, NHS staff shortages and projections of weak future economic growth.

2023 February 2, Andrew Adonis, “Sooner or later, re-entry to the customs union and single market is inevitable”, in Prospect:

Biden’s irritation with London’s inability to solve its “Irish question” after Brexit has also played a role.

2023 August 7, Jo Harper, “UK–US: What’s happened to their free trade deal?”, in Deutsche Welle:

The mayor of London has urged EU citizens to “choose London” over other European cities, promising to make the UK capital a better place to live and work despite Brexit.

2023 October 6, Heather Stewart, “‘Choose London’: Sadiq Khan steps up efforts to lure EU citizens post-Brexit”, in The Guardian, →ISSN:

The Brexit referendum seemingly heralded such a moment but other than the negative sentiment of leave, the more positive agenda of what to do with the UK’s newfound status has been found wanting.

2023 November 3, Tim Olivier, “Brexit: a critical juncture in the UK’s international relations?”, in UK in a Changing Europe:

The Brits have been uniquely incompetent in wallowing in narcissistic irrelevance ever since the Brexit vote. They’ve refused to admit that the only path forward for them is a crippling deal with the United States that will give them access to the NAFTA system but at the cost of any kind of economic sovereignty.

2023 November 23, Peter Zeihan, “Ireland Needs a New Game Plan || Peter Zeihan”, in Zeihan on Geopolitics, sourced from YouTube, 2:55–3:14:

Brussels has warned the UK that it must fully apply the existing Brexit deals on EU citizens and Northern Ireland before it will entertain a reset in the relationship with London.

2024 August 1, Lisa O'Carroll, “UK must apply existing Brexit deals before any reset in relations, says EU”, in (Please provide the book title or journal name), sourced from The Guardian:

Brexit

le Brexit dur

Le Brexit (British exit) ou sortie du Royaume-Uni de l’Union européenne paraît pratiquement inéluctable.

2014 July 17, Nicolas Baverez, “Le Brexit ou l'absurdité du siècle”, in Le Point:

Brexit (British exit), or the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union, seems practically inevitable.

Début janvier, David Cameron a finalement accepté de laisser les ministres de son cabinet faire campagne en faveur du Brexit s’ils le souhaitaient, à titre privé et individuel.

2016, Danielle Auroi, Rapport d'information de la commission des affaires européennes sur les négociations de l'Union européenne avec le Royaume Uni relatives à son maintien au sein de l'Union, page 18:

At the start of January, David Cameron finally agreed to let ministers in his cabinet campaign in favour of Brexit if they wished, in a private and individual capacity.

Le Brexit, ou British Exit, était en tête avec près de 51,7% des voix après dépouillement dans 300 des 382 centres du pays, peu avant 5h, selon le décompte officiel, grâce à des résultats largement favorables dans plusieurs villes du nord de l’Angleterre et au Pays de Galles.

2016 June 24, “Résultat du référendum sur le Brexit”, in Le Huffington Post:

Brexit, or "British Exit", was ahead with nearly 51.7% of the vote after counting had finished in 300 of 382 local authorities, shortly before 5 am, according to the official count, thanks to broadly favourable results in several cities in Northern England and Wales.

Le Brexit «conduira inévitablement à des frictions» commerciales entre l’UE et le Royaume-Uni, étant donné le souhait britannique de quitter le marché unique et l’union douanière

2018, AFP agence, “Brexit: «Seul un accord de libre-échange est possible», prévient Donald Tusk”, in Le Figaro:

Brexit "will inevitably lead to friction" in trade between the EU and the UK, given Britain's desire to leave the single market and the customs union

Les tractations sur les futurs liens commerciaux entre l’UE et le Royaume-Uni n’ont pas encore démarré, les discussions s’étant jusqu’ici concentrées sur la préparation du traité scellant le Brexit, avec de lourds dossiers comme la facture du divorce, le sort des expatriés et l’avenir de la frontière irlandaise.

Negotiations on future trade links between the EU and the UK have not yet started, discussions up to now having concentrated on drafting the treaty finalising Brexit, including complicated issues such as the divorce bill, the fate of expats, and the future of the Irish border.

Reste une troisième option : l’absence d’accord. C’est le Brexit dur. La frontière serait immédiatement et totalement rétablie en mars 2019.

2018 April 28, Benoît Floc'h, “Le gouvernement prépare les douanes à un Brexit dur”, in Le Monde:

There remains a third option: the lack of an agreement. This is hard Brexit. The border would be immediately and completely re-established in March 2019.

(UK politics) Initialism of Workers Party of Britain.


Butskellism

Blend of Butler + Gaitskell + -ism, after Rab Butler, the Conservative Chancellor of the Exchequer 1951–55, and his Labour predecessor Hugh Gaitskell 1950–51.

The next few weeks will show whether the Opposition will seize this chance of golden silence; or whether, in a Brown fury, it is going to throw the opportunity for constructive Butskellism away.

And then there was a sort of sensation at the door and in came Margaret Thatcher. Rab’s shell crackled and contracted a little, as he tried to look flattered by the attention of his new leader: she whose whole purpose it was to cram Butskellism as harshly as possible into the WPB of history.

1994, Christopher Hitchens, ‘On Spanking’, London Review of Books, volume 16, number 20:

Camerairism reflects a structural change more profound than Butskellism ever did.

2005 October 20, Timothy Garton Ash, The Guardian:

(UK politics, now historical) A centrist economic policy obtaining in post-war Britain, upheld by both Conservative and Labour Chancellors.

Danu

Learned borrowing from Old Irish, from a reconstructed nominative form of the genitive Danann (also spelled Donand or Danand).
In particular, Danann is attested in the term Tuatha Dé Danann, which is typically translated "tribe of Danu" but used as the collective name for certain Irish gods (or, more prosaically, the people of a particular wave of immigration to Ireland, in the traditional history).
The etymology is controversial and has been debated since the 19th century. Some scholars identify Danu with the goddess Anu, perhaps as a contraction of día Anu ("goddess Anu").

This [battle] appears in Celtic history as that in which the Tuatha dè Danann, the tribes of the goddess Danu fought and conquered the Fir Bolg on Midsummer's Day.

1897, The Westminster Review, Volume 148: July-December 1897, page 17:

The old poets thought that the tribes of the goddess Danu were of a perfect beauty, and the creators of beautiful people and beautiful arts.

1897, W. B. Yeats, “The Tribes of Danu”, in The New Review, Volume 17: July-December 1897, William Heinemann, page 550:

1987, Peter Alderson Smith, W. B. Yeats and the Tribes of Danu: Three Views of Ireland's Fairies, C. Smythe, page 52,
She may be the same as Danu, or she may be the same as the Morrigu.
