Urcheons, bagwyns, opinici and musimons, represented statant, sejant or segreant, and in every variety of metal, colour and fur, completed an exhibition which was both boastfully heraldic and pompously powerful.

No blood need be shed in settling these anatomical problems, as opinici are of little importance, there being barely a dozen examples.

1963, Julian Franklyn, Shield and Crest: An Account of the Art and Science of Heraldry, page 150:

Even when they ascend to the loftiest perch for their kind and earn the right to serve on the Council of Keythongs, the wingless ones are still not permitted the same rights as gryphons and opinici.

[…]there has been a gradual process of distillation, leaving just about all the reactionaries, for all their disagreements among themselves, united in the conviction that there is a real difference between a conscious person and a perfect zombie–let's call that intuition the Zombic Hunch–leading them to the thesis of Zombism: that the fundamental flaw in any mechanistic theory of consciousness is that it cannot account for this important difference.

femslash

The demographics of femslash are a little more complicated than regular slash; stories are written by straight and lesbian women and sometimes straight men.

2005, Phyllis M. Japp, Mark Meister, Debra K. Japp, Communication Ethics, Media & Popular Culture, page 178:

One of the driving forces behind slash and femslash is the pervading heterosexism of commercial media – if television will not give us the due proportion of same-sex eroticism we are entitled to expect, then we will make it for ourselves.

2010, Stacey Abbott, The Cult TV Book, page 245:

The point of slash is that the orientation of one or more canonical characters is changed, which is why slashing is strongest in fandoms where the source parades heteronormativity or machismo. Kirk/Spock, Bodie/Doyle, Aragorn/Boromir, Darcy/Bingley and Harry/Snape stories all slash their canons, but a story featuring, say, Sebastian Flyte and Anthony Blanche in bed would not be slash, nor would a relationship between two lesbian characters in The L Word qualify as femslash.

2013, John Lennard, London Review of Books, letter, vol. 35, no. 6:

(fandom slang) Slash fiction that focuses on romantic and/or sexual relationships between female characters.

wallcrawler

This big wallcrawler has remained somewhat obscure, probably due to its indistinct appearance.

When DC Comics tweaked Marvel in the 1960s, they almost always did so through Spider-Man: Jerry Lewis became "the Fearless Tarantula" in an issue of The Adventures of Jerry Lewis, while a teenage DC hero in the "Legion of Superheroes" serials compared himself, quote favorably, to the webbed wallcrawler.

In a spacious apartment on the third floor which contained two powerful telescopes, constructed on principles of entirely modern invention, being capable of revealing the distant suns to an extent never before dreamt of, was Mercia surrounded by curious astroscopes, stellar-spectroscopes, and wonderfully constructed cameras, which delineated in an instant the starry heights, the glory of which has been the ambition of astronomers in all ages to fathom.

Did you get new clothes for Christmas or are you going in the Yule cat this year?

2004 December 12, Elínrós Líndal, “Jólaföt á smáfólkið”, in Morgunblaðið, →ISSN, →OCLC:

In such preparations it is hugely important that the family invests in cozy festive clothing, in order to avoid landing in the audacious claws of the Yule cat.

meet cute

Claudette Colbert
Ernst Lubitsch
Gary Cooper

Accidentally coined by German-American film director Ernst Lubitsch (1892–1947), who had difficulty speaking English, to describe the encounter between the characters played by Claudette Colbert and Gary Cooper in the 1938 film Bluebeard’s Eighth Wife.

If this is a distortion of reality, it is a knowingly utopian gesture, and the wit of such conceits lies in placing in tension the ideal with the real and so being more than a series of fancy ‘meet cutes’: […]

1989, Bruce Babington, Peter William Evans, Affairs to Remember: The Hollywood Comedy of the Sexes, Manchester, New York, N.Y.: Manchester University Press, →ISBN, page 11:

The hunt for love saturates Western culture. […] Romantic comedies have characters discover one another serendipitously, called "meet-cutes." The lead clumsily spills a drink on his future love interest, setting off a chain of events to love. Meet-cutes affirm the idea that possibility is all around us: love can happen anywhere, at anytime, and with anyone.

2013, Jaime Woo, “How to Find Love on Grindr (if You Hafta)”, in Meet Grindr: How One App Changed the Way We Connect, Canada: [Lulu.com], →ISBN, page 108, column 1:

In some respects, it might be too faithful to the genre it savages; as in many real rom-coms, the energy flags during the plot’s backstretch, and audiences may share the drifting interest of Kyle (Bill Hader) and Karen (Ellie Kemper), who come to regret ever asking Joel and Molly to chronicle their meet-cute.

2014 June 26, A. A. Dowd, “Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler Spoof Rom-com Clichés in They Came Together”, in The A.V. Club, archived from the original on 2017-12-07:

When Wade first crosses paths with Art3mis (Olivia Cooke), the ass-kicking fellow “gunter” (or egg hunter) with whom he becomes infatuated, the pair’s meet cute is predicated on the swapping of favorite pop-culture quotes.

2018 March 26, A. A. Dowd, “Steven Spielberg Finds Fun, and maybe even a Soul, in the Pandering Pastiche of Ready Player One”, in The A.V. Club, archived from the original on 2018-05-31:

Café Pick Me Up was a cosy little place with a low pressed-metal ceiling, crammed full of tiny tables, with French cafe chairs and mellow lighting. If you were to write a romcom featuring a meet cute, you’d set it there.

2021 December 26, Alys Fowler, “My winter of love: I was homesick in New York. The quiet Danish poet was just what I was longing for”, in The Guardian:

(narratology, informal) A situation in a film, television series, etc., in which a potential romantic couple meet for the first time in a way that is considered adorable, amusing, or cute.

Calque of Japanese ニューハーフ (nyūhāfu, “new half”). ニューハーフ is wasei eigo, from English.

transtemporal

At the same time that their protagonists "step off the edge" of known experience by participating in interplanetary, interdimensional, or transtemporal travel, such writers as Dorothy Bryant, Mary Staton, and (to a lesser degree) Ursula K. Le Guin propose through their narratives' complexity that the reader abandon the safety of a "readerly" text's conventional discourse.

1984, Natalie Myra Rosinsky, Feminist futures--contemporary women's speculative fiction, page 29:

However, the Internet has also reversed the way we communicate in terms of the transspatial and transtemporal perspective.

2009, Frank H. P. Fitzek, Hassan Charaf, Mobile peer to peer (P2P): a tutorial guide, page 24:

The fact is that many relations we are familiar with are transtemporal, that is, they obtain between entities located a different times.

2012, Fabrice Correia, Andrea Iacona, Around the Tree, →ISBN, page 38:

“So, what, time travel?” “You accepted translocation, but transtemporal is too far?”

2014, Ann Aguirre, Mortal Danger, →ISBN:

Transcending time; relating to time travel or to the influence or communication between one time and another.


batmobile

en-verb

batmobile (third-person singular simple present batmobiles, present participle batmobiling, simple past and past participle batmobiled)

batmobiles (present singular third-person)
batmobiling (participle present)
batmobiled (participle past)
batmobiled (past)

From the Batmobile driven by superhero Batman in the eponymous media franchise, from bat + -mobile. The second verb sense references the retractable shielding featured on the vehicle in the 1989 film.

Genericans live on fast food bought with $20 bills (Yuppie food coupons) taken out of automatic teller machines.
They tend to be young men and women prone to batmobiling, defined as "putting up protective emotional shields just as a relationship enters an intimate vulnerable stage," like the steel plates that cloak Batman's car.

1997 June 8, James Coates, “Generica, Semisweet Land Of Jitterati”, in Chicago Tribune:

Baby's antennae stood straight up. She tried to read him but Jake was too quick for her. He was batmobiling. His deflector screens had shot up—he was an emotional escape vehicle, complete with tinted windows. Bullet-proof, bomb-proof, utterly impenetrable.

1998, Linda Jaivin, Rock 'n' Roll Babes from Outer Space, page 243:

Meredith (Gillian Anderson) is a frosty, uptight theatre director being romanced by an architect (John Stewart), but she is, as we say in the 90s, batmobiling - her defences are up.

1999 August 6, Peter Bradshaw, “Sex in the windy city”, in The Guardian:

(dated slang) To put up an emotional or intellectual shield, especially to protect oneself from something that makes one uncomfortable.


Spock ears

en-au-boldly go where no man has gone before.ogg

A line from the opening sequence of the Star Trek TV series.

While Strauss would not exactly be boldly going where no man has gone before if he led England to victories this year in away Test series against Pakistan, Sri Lanka and India, he set foot on an airbus to Dubai knowing that 2012 represents the last great examination of his side.

2012 January 2, Paul Newman, “Tough Trek ahead but Strauss' men know winning in Asia is the final frontier”, in the Mail online:

E-Racer Based loosely upon one of the original Rutan designs, the airplane goes where no man has gone before. In the first place, the composite canard machine is the first known example of the Rutan Long-EZ clones to have

1998 April, Budd Davisson, “Skyburners”, in Popular Mechanics, volume 165, page 68:

These were the voyages of Scott, Amundsen, Shackleton and Mawson, Nordenskjold, Borchgrevink, de Gerlache and von Drygalski, Filchner, Shirase, Bruce and Bull, national heroes most of them, who boldly went where no man had gone before.

The film's what-iffery becomes even more compelling when Blair, played, as in A Very Social Secretary, by a twitchingly reptilian Robert Lindsay, decides to stand down shortly before the 2010 general election.

2007 January 9, Stuart Jeffries, “A prime minister in the dock”, in The Guardian:

It was a flying horse — no, a unicorn — or a pegacorn? — feathery wings outstretched.

2006 July 11, Alea Bushardt, Cloud Filly, Trafford Publishing, →ISBN, →OCLC, →OL, page 42:

Pegacorns have grown in both popularity and population since their worldwide introduction during the 1980s. While they had existed for eons prior, few unicorn farmers wished to voluntarily care for both the temperamental nature of the Pegasus and the attention-craving disposition of the unicorn. However, when those farmers had the opportunity to soar high and fast into the clouds on the Pegacorn, they had an abrupt change of opinion.

2011 August 18, Jessica S. Marquis, Raising Unicorns: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Starting and Running a Successful — and Magical! — Unicorn Farm, Adams Media, →ISBN, →OL, page 18:

2005, Milly Williamson, The lure of the vampire: gender, fiction and fandom from Bram Stoker to Buffy, Wallflower Press, page 169:

They analyze slash fiction (stories about romantic and sexual relationships between two male characters, some of which involve graphic descriptions of sex), and argue that the similarities between romance novels and slash fiction prove gender differences exist.

2009, Mark Bould, The Routledge Companion to Science Fiction, Routledge, page 208:

Over the years, slash writers have started dismissing as homophobic this trope of men having sex with men without identifying as homosexual or bisexual; nevertheless, much slash fiction retains the trope's underlying sentiment of true love and devotion transcending all external rules.

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.

autofiction

en-noun

autofiction (countable and uncountable, plural autofictions)

Borrowed from French autofiction, blend of autobiography + fiction.

On the other hand, autofiction has afforded many writers a means to deal with the self in a way that straddles the genres of classic literature and goes beyond its culturally determined norms. Autofiction reveals existential motives for writing, raising them to the status of components in the autobiographical debate.

2019, Martina Wagner-Egelhaaf, editor, Handbook of Autobiography / Autofiction, Walter de Gruyter, →ISBN, page 245:

A blend of autobiography and fiction; faction.


black knight

basilicok

From Old French basilicoc, extension of basilique.

14th c., Geoffrey Chaucer, The Canterbury Tales, The Parson’s Tale

The first finger [of the devil’s hand] is the foolish looking of the foolish woman and of the foolish man; that slays just as the basilisk slays folk by the venom of his sight, for the covetousness of the eyes follows the covetousness of the heart.

The first fingre is the foole loking of the foole woman and of the foole man, that sleth right as the basilicok sleth folk by venime of his sight: for the coveitise of the eyen foloweth the coveitise of the herte.


mammaloid

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.

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


iguanoid

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.

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.

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.

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
