Erewhonian

From Erewhon + -ian: the country's name is an approximate reversal of nowhere, from the novel Erewhon (1872) by Samuel Butler.

I've never heard of him. What sort of name is that for an Erewhonian?

2004, Laraine Anne Barker, The Obsidian Quest, page 101:

If so, my own history itself is the history of an average Erewhonian!

2009, Alexander Raju, The Haunted Man: A Novel, page 18:

If an Erewhonian plays his role as a martyr with a smile, it is through metaphysical agility.

2017, William Shurtleff, Akiko Aoyagi, History of Macrobiotics (1715-2017):

An inhabitant of the fictional land of Erewhon.

2006, Hent de Vries, Lawrence Eugene Sullivan, Political theologies: public religions in a post-secular world:

Among those who connect the unfolding of Eurabia with a popular reaction that might bring back fascism to Europe is Canadian columnist Mark Steyn.

2007, José Pedro Zúquete, Missionary politics in contemporary Europe:

Cultural Islam and the myth of Eurabia

2008, Olivier Roy, The politics of chaos in the Middle East:

(derogatory) A supposed future, Islamized Europe.

It'd be OOC if Vejita^([sic]) weeped^([sic]) upon seeing Goku die at the hands of a big cricket thing. Because he saw it in the series and it didn't really bug him.

It is their challenge, with the help of Tania, a roboid, to adapt the siblings to their new environment.

Skynet

From the Terminator film series, the first of which, The Terminator, premiered in 1984.

In the first two films, Skynet is a colossal piece of hardware, a single unit which contains an artificial intelligence designed to run the US nuclear weapons system, a doomsday computer that becomes aware and destroys humanity. […] It was only through some very fancy footwork that Terminator 2: Judgment Day managed to make it remotely plausible that Skynet had sent a second machine to a later date. Since Skynet is presumably aware of its own origins, this makes the first film marginally less plausible.

2005, Roz Kaveney, “Creation as Product: The Paradox of Franchises”, in From Alien to the Matrix: Reading Science Fiction Film, London: I.B. Tauris, →ISBN, page 125:

Maybe I watched too many Mazinger shows or read too many Yoko Tsuno BDs as a kid and, surely, I think the best way to end […] humanity would be to migrate SkyNet to Windows Vista, but somehow I thought it would be fun.

2012, Cristina Urdiales, “Foreword”, in Collaborative Assistive Robot for Mobility Enhancement (CARMEN): The Bare Necessities: Assisted Wheelchair Navigation and beyond (Intelligent Systems Reference Library; 27), Berlin, Heidelberg: Springer-Verlag, →DOI, →ISBN, →ISSN:

With the more convoluted Terminator Salvation, the seductive power of the skin job gives way to a constant maze of false seeming, centered on the relationship between John Connor and the part-cyborg Marcus Wright during the post-apocalyptic human fight against Skynet and its various killing machines.

2016, J. P. Telotte, “The Persistence of the Robot”, in Sean Redmond, Leon Marvell, editors, Endangered Science Fiction Film (AFI Film Series), New York, N.Y., Abingdon, Oxon.: Routledge, →ISBN, page 254:

Calpurnia, the Good Sister, the artificial intelligence created by Zephyr Bain, had achieved consciousness and self-awareness. She knew of her existence. She had crossed the line from the predictable and anticipated inevitable model of machine consciousness. However, it should have stopped there. The Skynet model from the Terminator movies didn't really work, because true consciousness was a by-product of chemistry and physical constitution.

Disney World

From Walt Disney World, a resort in Florida owned by Disney which is home to a group of theme parks.

[…]a sort of Disney World of American history. All the ticket takers and street sweepers and information givers were dressed in period costumes, the women in big aprons and muffin hats, the men in tricornered caps[…]

1989, Bill Bryson, The lost continent: travels in small-town America, page 110:

Somehow one's acceptance into humanity is dependent on the kind of Disney World assumption that differences are only on the surface.

1994, Kumar Rupesinghe, Marcial Rubio Correa, The culture of violence, page 87:

There is no refuge from reality in teaching, no orderly life in a kind of Disney World of the mind where nothing really dangerous ever happens and a predictable good time is had by all.

From un- + birthday, coined by English writer Lewis Carroll (1832–1898) in Through the Looking-Glass (1871).

"They gave it me," Humpty Dumpty continued thoughtfully, as he crossed one knee over the other and clasped his hands round it, "they gave it me⸺for an un-birthday present." / "I beg your pardon?" Alice said with a puzzled air." / "I'm not offended," said Humpty Dumpty. / "I mean, what is an un-birthday present?" / "A present given when it isn't your birthday, of course."

Another way to look at unbirthdays is as an opportunity to celebrate every day of life. You can throw a party for no particular reason, except for FUN!

1998, Alison Molinare Boteler, Matthew Klein, The Disney Party Handbook: 14 Fun Filled Parties:

Make an unbirthday cake and wear party hats when you blow out the candles together.

2006 July 9, “Wanna try the meaning of life?”, in Oakland Tribune:

It was the type of evening -- an entirely mesmerizing and moving two-set concert filled with superb musicianship and incredible improvisation -- that made the undying devotion of the "phans" seem quite logical.

In hindsight, I now regret the errors of my ways (flashback to the time I was embarrassingly obsessed with Phan, the romantic pairing of YouTubers Daniel Howell and Phil Lester) as I find it uncomfortable to see people make the mistakes I once did.

2019 June 24, Jade Tan, “All Aboard The Ship”, in The High, International School of Lausanne, page 10:

Ωραία Κοιμωμένη

Adjective ωραίος (oraíos, “beautiful”) and the feminine κοιμωμένη (koimōménē) of the ancient participle κοιμώμενος (koimṓmenos) of contracted passive verb κοιμῶμαι (koimômai)—in Modern Greek κοιμάμαι (koimámai, “I sleep”)—of active κοιμάω (koimáō).

Sleeping Beauty (fairy tale and character)


Belle au bois dormant

From the phrasing used by Charles Perrault in Ma Mère l'Oye (published in 1697).
Literally, “Beauty sleeping in the wood”, with the archaic positioning of the present participle after its complement which was frequent in Old French (as in chemin faisant and tambour battant); the modern French equivalent would be Belle dormant au bois. It is also dormant and not dormante because present participles have been invariable in French since a decision of 3 June 1679 of the Académie Française (of which Perrault was a member).


boggart

OH! Maeſter—ſtrange things late I've ſeen— / And oft has boggart-haunted been ! / I'm ſure I's falt when ſtory's-tauld, / 'Till blude run aw' through veins ſo cauld !

1787, William Collins, “Song XXV: A Lancaſhire Farmer's deſcription of an Earthquake”, in The New Vocal Miscellany, or, A Fountain of Pure Harmony; Containing Sixty New Songs, page 32:

“[…]Are na ye shamed, ye weak gawly, that yc darena stir ower the threshold for fear of a boggart?”

1821, Lee Gibbons, chapter III, in The Cavalier, volume II, page 48:

Hoggart's Leap is a weird name, suggesting to the uninitiated some connection with a local tradition and a boggart or a barguest of Swaledale renown ; but I believe that Hoggart is really a family name, there being Hoggarth's Farm about two miles further up the Swale.

1897 August 20, Harwood Brierley, “The Swale and Its Waterfalts”, in Sylvanus Urban, editor, The Gentleman's Magazine, volume CCLXXXIII, page 191:

[…]but when it came to a question of standing up against the boggart of Arden—a thing, in the popular imagination, composed of neither flesh, blood, nor bones—even a physical giant had qualms and misgivings, and so had Joseph Wand.

1898 December 20, George Morley, “The Sleeping Beauty. A Woodlander's Adventure”, in Sylvanus Urban, editor, The Gentleman's Magazine, volume CCLXXXV, The Verger and the Woodman, page 532:

Pata'na was a Roman goddess who appears with greatly varied names, sometimes as a derivation from Ceres or a Cerean deity, and sometimes as Ceres herself.

1892, Charles Leland, Etruscan Roman Remains, published 2007, page 233:

Bouncing is something to be avoided in the low Cerean gravity: any bouncing here would have lifted me up against the café's green and white striped awning — and maybe on through it to interface violently with the 60 meters of carbonaceous chondrite rock that separate Clarkeville from the surface.

1994, Hayford Peirce, “Six Million Solid Gold Belter Buckles”, in Jonathan White: Stockbroker in Orbit, Wildside Press, published 2001, →ISBN, page 45:

If so, a commonality of Cerean life with Terran and possible Martian life ... could provide a strong corroboration of the "Ceres origin" hypothesis.

1997, Alex Matthews, Satan's Silence: The Second Cassidy McCabe Mystery, Intrigue Press, →ISBN, page 135:

Most cognitive psychologists in the mideighties viewed the brain as a computer-like mechanism based on pure logic and rational thought. There was no room for emotions in their Spockian formulation.

subterrene

From Latin subterrēnus. By surface analysis, sub- + terrene.

With a deafening screech of metal upon rock—which surely must echo through all the recesses of the Mountain, and waken all its nightmare brood!—the subterrene smashed through the wall and came to rest beside them.

1956, Arthur C. Clarke, chapter 1, in The City and the Stars:

In the first field tests, a series of holes 2 inches in diameter and 12 feet deep were sunk with the rock-melting device, or subterrene.

1972, American Nuclear Society, Nuclear News, volume 15, page 47:

… “The beauty of the Subterrene is that, as it burrows through the rock hundreds of feet below the surface, it heats whatever stone it encounters into molten rock, or magma, which cools after the Subterrene has moved on. …

2009, November, Mark Ellis as James Axler, Outlanders 051: Warlord of the Pit

(rare) A machine for drilling or tunneling underground.

vidscreen

“The homeopape conjectures were correct,” Felix Blau, boss of the police agency, was saying on the vidscreen.

1965, Philip K. Dick, “The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch”, in Four Novels of the 1960s, Library of America, published 2007, page 246:

The vidscreen was on in the shop, but all it did was preach about the wonders of colonial life and tell how paradise could be found by emigrating to the smaller planets of the Althosian system.

cavorite

From Cavor + -ite. First used in 1901 in The First Men in the Moon by H. G. Wells. It was named after the fictional Dr. Cavor. The initial use was capitalized, but later authors borrowing the concept sometimes changed it to lowercase.
In the first use, the metal acted as a gravity shield; after the metal was cooled, objects contained within it were no longer subject to gravity. Some later uses, e.g., Alan Moore's, imagine the substance to simply have a negative gravitational mass.

“It seems to me it wouldn't cost much to cart any weight anywhere if you packed it in a Cavorite case.”

1901, H. G. Wells, The First Men in the Moon, Chapter 3:

“In the early years, they were the most primitive structures ever to fly in space, cheap and overbuilt and overcrewed, hoisted on cavorite wings.”
