Ecgbert picked up the farspeaker eagerly. "Frideswide darling! I have been wating to hear from you all the morning. […] "

“Sir, we found him in the farspeaker room,” said one of the guards. “He was tampering with the equipment."

2009, Nick Gevers, Jay Lake, Other Earths:

She held it out toward him. It was the size of a chicken egg, only broken in half. The other half of the crystal—carried by another—would vibrate in tune with its twin, allowing communication, like a walkie-talkie. “A farspeaker! Pindor gasped out. "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."

'verse

How has the landscape of the 'verse changed? Was there a toppling of the Alliance government?

2006 August 22, “Life in the 'verse AFTER the BDM”, in alt.tv.firefly (Usenet):

In the dystopian Firefly ‘verse, the government itself is “antisocial.”

2007, Joy Davidson, The Psychology of Joss Whedon: An Unauthorized Exploration of Buffy, Angel, and Firefly, page 51:

Happily, it's a fun ‘verse for a journey. It's no accident that Joss Whedon built Firefly with the elements of a great MMOG.

2007, Corey Bridges, “The Virtual ‘Verse”, in Jane Espenson, editor, Serenity Found: More Unauthorized Essays on Joss Whedon's Firefly Universe:

In the Firefly/Serenity ‘verse (as in ours), unstable teenage girls are not supposed to be able to kill three men with three shots.

Angelverse

This suggests that free will has its place in the Angelverse: the choice to fight matters to the end, even if it cannot stop a prophesied event from occurring.

2005, Stacey Abbott, Reading Angel: The TV Spin-off with a Soul, page 142:

To the degree that my universe intersects with the Angelverse, I view Angel as far more than a creature tormented by blood cravings, past horrors, and mystical forces.

2007, Joy Davidson, The Psychology of Joss Whedon: An Unauthorized Exploration of Buffy, Angel, and Firefly, page 197:

At times Lorne challenges the culture of the Angelverse by bringing together disparate points of view and causing the crew at Angel Investigations to see situations and characters in an unconventional way, demonstrating a unique and significant adaptation of bardic form.

2010, Jennifer Hamilton, “Pylean Idol: L.A.'s De(con)struction of a Postmodern Bard”, in Amijo Comeford, Tamy Burnett, editors, The Literary Angel: Essays on Influences and Traditions Reflected in the Joss Whedon Series, page 45:

X-Verse

2009, Rebecca Housel, Jeremy Wisnewski, editors, X-Men and Philosophy: Astonishing Insight and Uncanny Argument in the Mutant X-Verse, John Wiley & Sons.:

First and most common is the charge that numerous characters in Heroes have powers of preexisting comic book characters, especially from the X-Men.[…]Even Isaac Mendez's power to paint the future predates him in a character from the X-verse—Nemesio from District X.

2009, David Kyle Johnson, Heroes and Philosophy: Buy the Book, Save the World, page 50:

And if Parfit is right, it should make you think twice about how quickly you judge all of the characters in the X-Verse (and the real world).[…] In the X-Verse we should be less dubious of Emma Frost working with the X-Men; […].

(fandom slang) The fictional world, or universe, which serves as the setting for the Marvel Comics and film series featuring the characters the X-Men.


Whedonverse

In the Whedonverse (among other places) institutions are dangerous; communities can be life-giving.

2005, Rhonda Wilcox, Why Buffy Matters: the Art of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, page 159:

Neither Joss Whedon nor any other writer in the Whedonverse harbors the misogyny that drove and characterized texts like the Hammer of Witches.

2009, AmiJo Comeford, “Cordelia Chase as Failed Feminist Gesture”, in Kevin K. Durand, editor, Buffy Meets the Academy: Essays on the Episodes and Scripts as Text, page 159:

In the Whedonverse, who is willing and able to become a hero often defies two-dimensional thinking or traditional expectations.

2010, Lynnette Porter, Tarnished Heroes, Charming Villains, and Modern Monsters: Science Fiction in Shades of Gray in 21st Century Television, page 133:

Buffyspeak has also rhizomatically traversed into other shows, both within and beyond the Whedonverse; for example, the similar use of language by Topher in Dollhouse (2009–2010) and the teenagers of Caprica (2009–2010).

2019, Juliette C. Kitchens, Julie L. Hawk, Transmediating the Whedonverse(s), page 152:

Alice in Wonderland syndrome

en-noun

Alice in Wonderland syndrome (uncountable)

After Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865; often known as Alice in Wonderland), in which the protagonist changes size after consuming a potion and a cake.

Three cases of "Alice in Wonderland" syndrome (metamorphopsia) are presented and described as a presenting symptom of infectious mono nucleosis in a preadolescent male and in two late teenage females.

1977 February, Stuart M. Copperman, “" Alice in Wonderland" Syndrome as a Presenting Symptom of Infectious Mononucleosis in Children: A Description of Three Affected Young People”, in Clinical pediatrics, volume 16, number 2, page 143:

Alice in Wonderland syndrome (AIWS) is characterized by visual hallucinations and bizarre perceptual distortions.

1998 August, Yung-Ting Kuo, Nan-Chang Chiu, Ein-Yiao Shen, Che-Sheng Ho, Ming-CheWu, “Cerebral perfusion in children with Alice in Wonderland syndrome”, in Pediatric neurology, volume 19, number 2, page 105:

After all, Alice in Wonderland syndrome was, until recently, believed to be so rare that most university courses in medicine, psychology and the neurosciences did not even bother to address it.

Pokémon

Pokémon (plural Pokémon or (nonstandard) Pokémons)

Pokémon (plural)
Pokémons (nonstandard plural)

From Japanese ポケモン (Pokemon), a contraction of ポケットモンスター (Poketto Monsutā), itself from English pocket monster.

contraction

Pokémons are the latest and adamantly conformist craze among middle-childhood boys. The theme of the video games that started the craze is, as usual, the triumph of good over evil. The hero is a child, twelve-year-old Ash. His goal is to capture all 150-plus nonhuman creatures called Pokémons, train them to be good, and use them to capture the remaining wicked Pokémons that so far have escaped. In the games, Ash is not your ally: he is you. Each of the Pokémons has its own sort of power which, after conversion, accrues to Ash’s (your) favor.

2001, Sara Stein, “Games They Play”, in Noah’s Children: Restoring the Ecology of Childhood, New York, N.Y.: North Point Press, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, →ISBN, page 248:

Game strategy (and tactics) are full of such learning about real life, like the rules, the strategy in games needs to be lifelike for the games to make sense, even if the characters, such as Pokémons, are purely imaginary.

2005, Marc Prensky, “Computer Games and Learning: Digital Game-Based Learning”, in Joost Raessens, Jeffrey Goldstein, editors, Handbook of Computer Game Studies, Cambridge, Mass.: The MIT Press, →ISBN, part II (Design), page 106, column 2:

He had been delighted when his mother said, Just leave everything as it is. Not even his bed was made. He could see that little kid’s mess, his clothes, his Pokémons, his old Winnie Dubdoub, his Spiderman poster; and the truck, alone in the empty house for days now, nearly two weeks.

2005, Eva Sallis, The Marsh Birds, Crows Nest, N.S.W.: Allen & Unwin, →ISBN, page 15:

A pocket monster; a fictional creature from the universe of the Pokémon franchise.

Kasa mo motanai de kado ni tatta no wa imōto no ohikari de atta. Yuki wa masumasu tsuyoku natte kita rashiku, kanojo no sōshin wa yuki onna no yō ni masshiro ni nurarete ita.

Standing in the entrance without holding even an umbrella was his younger sister Ohikari. It seemed like the snow had become increasingly stronger; her whole body was painted with snow, like a yuki-onna.

snogger

They're nearly as pathetic as those snoggers (sad, deluded morons who believe DD and GA should be together!).

2001 July 12, Caffeine Cal, “Re: *Nasty* Doggett-Haters Website :(”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

It's a bit sad when snoggers write in to the IMDB to pass on the false information that DD has "filed for divorce" from TL: […]

2002 August 27, pam, “Re: Doggett to come back to Fox”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

While I'm not a snogger (don't look at me like that!), I do think, from what little I know of them, that David and Gillian had a kind of working relationship that in some weird cosmic way must have reflected what we saw on the screen between them.

2005 June 17, Robert Cook, “Re: Speaking of "Lost"”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

(X-Files fandom slang, derogatory) A fan who believed Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny were romantically involved or shipped them together.

warg

Learned borrowing from Old Norse vargr (“wolf”), reintroduced by J. R. R. Tolkien; compare also Old English wearg.

lbor

But even the wild Wargs (for so the evil wolves over the Edge of the Wild were named) cannot climb trees. […] Every now and then all the Wargs in the circle would answer their grey chief all together, and their dreadful clamour almost made the hobbit fall out of his pine-tree.

1937 September 21, J[ohn] R[onald] R[euel] Tolkien, “Out of the Frying-pan into the Fire”, in The Hobbit: Or There and Back Again, revised edition, New York, N.Y.: Ballantine Books, published February 1966 (August 1967 printing), →OCLC, page 105:

My question is do all of the executable versions for PC compatibles have the color option enabled? If so, what am I missing to not get say yellow for a hill orc, grey for a goblin, white for my pet, red for a wolf, brown for a warg, etc?

1993, jbatka, “Multiple colors for PC compatible”, in rec.hack (Usenet):

He'd bought a ton of silver to forge magic swords that would slay the Stark wargs.

1999, George R. R. Martin, A Clash of Kings, Bantam, published 2011, page 462:

The monsters are identified not as trolls, a word apparently not available in English at the time, but (among other things) as wargs, whatever that means; Grendel is called a heoro-wearh at line 1267 and his mother a grund-wyrgen at line 1518.

2007, Stephen O. Glosecki, Myth in Northwest Europe:

(fantasy, mythology) A type of particularly wild or hostile wolf.


sátiro

From Latin satyrus, from Ancient Greek σάτυρος (sáturos).


wereleopard

They are believed to be "Ju-Ju" or were-leopards, and in this guise to roam through the forest in bands, bent on evil and destruction.

1936, Rollo Ahmed, The Black Art, London: Long, page 168:

A) “One of them was a wereleopard; the other was a werewolf; both of them were strippers.”

2008 June 22, Dwight Garner, “Inside the List”, in New York Times:

While there'd been whispers about the Pack being unhappy with me for entangling myself with a wereleopard, Caitlyn wasn't just a wereleopard to me. She was my mate. A wolf didn't choose those kinds of things.

2019, Sarah Makela, The Leopard Who Claimed A Wolf: New Adult Shifter Romance, Kissa Press LLC, →ISBN:

(fantasy, mythology) A shapeshifter who can change between leopard and human form.

lobsterwoman

From lobster + -woman, modelled after lobsterman.

Coordinate term: lobsterman (m)

Pat's looks like a washerwoman, and mine, which I like the best, is a lobsterwoman with a lobsterbaby on her lap.

1996, Joan MacCracken, The Sun, the Rain, and the Insulin: Growing Up with Diabetes, page 210:

'You can't be Pamela Macx,' says Pierre, his back to the wall, keeping the sword point before the lobsterwoman-thing.

They ranged from the display of tattooed women as exotic pictures—like Salome/ "the famous Oriental beauty tattooed in seven colors," seen at Luna Park in 1912 (ATP, Fonds Soury, vol. 19, 149 top and bottom), a deeply erotic, nonnormative performance—to the virile displays of the female animal tamer's courage, to the gender inappropriate but familiar woman wrestler, and to the “monsters” such as mule women or lobster women.

2010, W. Spurlin, J. Hayes, Margaret R. Higonnet, Comparatively Queer:

The low-budget 1964 horror movie Vengeance of the Lobsterwoman provided Meryl Streep with her first starring role, opposite Roger Moore who played the Lobsterwoman.

Xenaphile

[…] but devout Xenaphiles end up squinting at blurry, freeze-framed images on their TV screens in hopes of finding out which mythological entity was not injured or otherwise inconvenienced this week.

1998, Greg Cox, Battle On!: An Unauthorized, Irreverent Look at Xena: Warrior Princess, page 8:

In light of this inexplicit story line — what gay and straight Xenaphiles refer to casually as "the subtext" — the opening voice-over's weekly refrain, "In a time of ancient gods, warlords, and kings," begins to sound gendered.

1998 April, Heather Findlay, “Xena-philia!”, in Girlfriends, page 29:

New York correspondent and Xenaphile Dan Scapperotti provides this issue's look behind-the-scenes at the making of the show, including an exclusive interview with New Zealand star Lucy Lawless.

Among the eras have been Louis Quatorze (1967), Space Odyssey Moderne (2001) and perpetual futuristic spins on picture-palace Deco, including last year’s show, hosted by Jon Stewart, in which towering Oscars were encased in see-through capsules, resembling the orgasmatron in Woody Allen’s 1973 film “Sleeper.”

vampirette

The bond with the dead, at once sister and young bride, may give us another perspective on the same-sex eroticism that, all agree, this male writer imagines and creates between the vampirette and her victim.

1999, Laurence A. Rickels, The vampire lectures, page 161:

There will be no stores open at midnight for the latest Pinkwater, no nerd swarms, girl gaggles or nerd-girl swaggles, cloaked as wizards or vampirettes, whining at the doors, demanding completion.

2009 April 12, Larry Doyle, “Iggy in Underland”, in New York Times:

technothriller

Coordinate term: spy-fi

The techno-thriller and its practitioners may be standing athwart. Tom Clancy, for one, made it clear to me that he has no interest in contemporary literature as Literature. He perennially scorns any salon environs.

1993, William F. Ryan, “The Techno-Thriller”, in The Virginia Quarterly Review:

Few filmmakers have his feel for the flux and transience of life as we live it, and his movies are especially eloquent in depicting the passage of time, whether it’s the one-year period of awkward realignments among a constellation of Parisian friends in “Late August, Early September” (1998) or the entire life cycle of a marriage in the period epic “Les Destinées Sentimentales” (2000) or even the jet-lagged permanent-present tense of the technothriller “Demonlover” (2002).

2009 May 3, Dennis Lim, “In Familial Bric-a-Brac, Finding Himself”, in New York Times:

A genre of thriller combining action, fantasy, and science fiction elements, including detailed technical explanations.

1996, Howard L. Malchow, Gothic images of race in nineteenth-century Britain, page 146:

The Oscar, Time, and Murrow formed a magical antivampire crucifix that would do more than protect Mr. S from the bloodsuckers of Hollywood; this figurative talisman would also convert the naysayers into idolators.

planetside

For Kincaid, that planet represented the chance to finally take part in a planetside assault out of the Marine legends on which he'd been weaned—a chance this mass butchery misnamed a war had offered in all too short supply.

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.

Like, practically every day in third grade, Auggie and I would hang out together on FaceChat. We had decided to grow our Padawan braids before I moved away, so it was a great way to check how long they had gotten.
