lunarcrete

Researcher Larry Beyer of the University of Pittsburgh says a lunarcrete project would begin with the shipment of two molds and a work crew from Earth. First, the workers would bolt together an inner mold. It would be pressure tight and would serve as their temporary quarters. Then they'd erect an outer mold with a six-foot gap from the inner mold.

1990, David Gump, Space Enterprise: Beyond NASA, New York, N.Y., Westport, C.T., London: Praeger, →ISBN, page 190:

Lunarcrete or mooncrete could be made from lunar regolith, water and cement with the cement manufactured from lunar rock with a high calcium content.

2016, Louisa Preston, Goldilocks and the Water Bears: The Search for Life in the Universe, London: Bloomsbury Sigma, →ISBN, page 265:

One method is to combine regolith with a bonding agent to create lunar concrete (aka. "lunarcrete"), which can be printed out to build structures. In terms of benefits, lunarcrete requires less energy to produce than other building materials, is unaffected by extreme variations in temperature, absorbs harmful radiation, and is unaffected by prolonged exposure to vacuum.

Tholm

From the name of an area in southern China mentioned by Marco Polo, later put by cartographers in area between Asia and America.
Before or after the Anian Strait was (most probably falsely) rapported found by L. Maldonado, the Tholm-name was moved by the cartographers to the eastern side of this strait, becoming a location in America (together with Bergi and Anian, also from Marco Polo).
In later maps the toponym is moved further, into south-eastern side of Sierra Nevada.

A toponym used on old maps, located some place between Alaska and Sierra Nevada


Anian

From the name of an area in southern China mentioned by Marco Polo (as Anin, Ania or Anian depending on the text copy), later put by cartographers into area between Asia and America.
Before or after the Anian Strait was (probably falsely) reported found by L. Maldonado, the Anian-name was moved by the cartographers to the eastern side of this strait, becoming a location in America (together with Bergi and Tholm, also from Marco Polo).

A toponym used on old maps, located in Alaska-area


Bergi

From the name of Bargu tribe (Barga Mongols), mentioned by Marco Polo, later put further northwards by cartographers into the area between Asia and America.
Before or after the Anian Strait was (most probably falsely) rapported found by L. Maldonado, the Bergi-name was moved by the cartographers to the eastern side of this strait, becoming a location in America (together with Anian and Tholm, also from Marco Polo).
On the Blaeu's map both Bargu and Bergi are depicted each on opposite sites of the Anian Strait. It can be explained as the result of copying from two different maps.

walking dead

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

The term I've typically seen used for the latter is "walking dead" -- meaning you can still wander around, but no progress can be made, and therefore you have effectively lost the game -- ie "died" -- and just don't know it.

2005 March 4, M. Damian Dollahite, “Re: Boundlessness & IF”, in rec.arts.int-fiction (Usenet):

There are numerous ways to instantly get killed, as well as walking dead situations, which were practically banned across all other adventure games when this game was released in 1996.

2018 October 3, Kurt Kalata, “Dragon Lore II: Heart of the Dragon Man”, in Hardcore Gaming 101:

[I]t’s inevitable that we’d have some walking dead scenarios. Regretfully, I hit one. [...] I left my Boysenberry computer at my house when I headed off to the airport. [...] I [...] jumped into a cannibal-infested jungle before discovering that I lose immediately if I parachute in without the computer.

Anyway, German has the highest percentage of foreign literature in translation (taking over the lead from Russian), and although Canadian authors have indeed at high reputation among readers, US-American and British books (as well as French, Swedish, Israeli and Klingonian ones) also get a fair chance at the German reading public’s interest.

2018, Jeff Pearlman, “Title Dreams”, in Football for a Buck: The Crazy Rise and Crazier Demise of the USFL, Boston, Mass., New York, N.Y.: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, →ISBN, page 94:

“Don’t you remember me? I’m the passenger in the taxi which almost knocked you down last night,” Laura addressed her in what she liked to call “Scandinavian”, a concoction of Swedish and Danish, that is, she had learned to get by with in most Scandinavian countries except Finland, of course. Helle’s face lit up with an expression of recognition. She groped in her coat pocket and pulled out Laura’s “Klingonian” address. Laura nodded.

2019, Paul Werner, The Last Voyage of the Yankee Seas, TWENTYSIX, →ISBN, page 59:

Yet, somehow, today there is a quasi-official Klingon language institute, people who speak Klingon almost exclusively, and alleged cases of persons who want to raise their children in Klingon-speaking households. (Ludlow 2006: 162–3) […] Klingon may fictionally have begun its existence among fictional extra-terrestrials, and actual households may communicate in an actual language that has all the characteristic Klingonian flair, but that is nevertheless not Klingon.

You cannot go to Turin without expecting to see its greatest attraction: the Sindone, or as we call it in English, the Shroud. The problem is that the Turin Shroud is kept well and truly shrouded in the Duomo, the rather subdued Renaissance cathedral. Enclosed in a Hogwartian trunk behind a sheet of plate glass, bulletproofed in case anyone wanted to assassinate it, the shroud’s appearances are strictly controlled.

2003, William Black, Al Dente: The Adventures of a Gastronome in Italy, Bantam Press, →ISBN, page 14:

With just the right sequence, we can get a computer to read a book out loud, understand human speech, anticipate (and prevent) a heart attack, or predict the movement of a stock-market holding. If an incantation is just slightly off mark, the magic is greatly weakened or does not work at all. One might object to this metaphor by pointing out that Hogwartian incantations are brief and therefore do not contain much information compared to, say, the code for a modern software program.

Despite the Hogwartian allure of Yale’s Gothic-style colleges, Muggle undergraduates may have to look elsewhere to catch a true glimpse of the magical world of Harry Potter.

2007 October 30, Patrick Lee, “For seminar selection, Potter will have to wait”, in Yale Daily News, page 3:

Consider the role of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter series. From the first volumes, Hogwarts played a tremendous role in the story, gathering the young protagonists—Harry [Potter] and his friends—into its curious and often-changing halls. It became the place where magic was learned and friendships formed. It stood for what must be saved: the ideals of the Hogwartian school, where magical powers were taught for the sake of good.

2008, Philip Martin, “Developing a Sense of Place”, in Philip Martin, editor, The New Writer’s Handbook: A Practical Anthology of Best Advice for Your Craft & Career, volume 2, Minneapolis, Minn.: Scarletta Press, →ISBN, pages 98–99:

To me, the UO [University of Oregon] is Hogwarts, a secretive organization that pirates the best of the very poor, teaches them to value their new status much too highly and leaves the suffering to understand that they, of the inferior mundane class, simply don’t deserve housing, legal care, medical care, dental care or even a basic sense of belonging. […] Getting a Ph.D. in sociology or mathematics must be a fascinating exercise in Hogwartian mysticism, but what on earth does that do for the very poor, the despairing, those left on the other side of the town-gown wall?

2008 April 17–24, Hugh Massengill, “UO = Hogwarts”, in Eugene Weekly, page 5:

But I’d never seen a hurling match before and sat fixated by the TV in our room, which showed one of the fastest, most bizarre, and seemingly most dangerous games I’ve ever experienced. Harry Potter would love it. Fifteen men a side hurtled by and into one another in seemingly total Hogwartian disarray, flailing long cáman paddle-sticks on which they carried—yes, carried—a small white leather ball (sliotar)—although in the truly wild days when the game first emerged I heard it was often a human skull.

2009, David Yeadon, At the Edge of Ireland: Seasons on the Beara Peninsula, Harper Perennial, →ISBN, pages 17–18:

[…] part of [J. K.] Rowling’s skill lies in the way in which she makes this bygone world instantaneously modern to an age of children who live in an electronic multimedia world. For example, moving staircases, portraits of ancient Hogwartian dignitaries who talk and move, the Marauder’s Map and flying dragons are familiar features of computer virtual reality games.

Hogwartian

The departed Hogwartians in the portraits that line the school’s corridors leave their frames and visit one another.

[Robbie] Coltrane’s performance as the noble if slightly buffoonish [Rubeus] Hagrid is the standout among the sterling adult cast, and the Sorting Hat, a sort of garrulous talking napkin that assigns new Hogwartians to their houses, is a low-tech effect put to hilarious use.

The retrieval of the memory of the Death Eaters trial suggestively presents the trial as a moment that renders transgression visible – a transgression that is repressed by the conscious – but simultaneously demonstrates the reestablishment of order through the punishment of the defendants. It represents therefore a repetition of violence that is overcome by the process of law. The memory of this moment is in fact a menace to institutional order because it suggests its fragility and reminds Hogwartians of the ever-present possibility of transgression.

He wanted to stop at Petra's bunk and tell her about his home, about what his birthdays were usually like, just tell her it was his birthday so she'd say something about it being a happy one. But nobody told birthdays. It was childish. It was what landsiders did.

It is easy for the landsider to forget that seafarers came in many disguises. We tend to think of officers and ratings — deck sailors. We might, if pricked, think about the engine room crew — who with the onset of oil, then diesel, just kept on shrinking per ship.

The space agency has requested the Lockheed Missiles & Space Co. to develop a method for controlling trace contaminants inside a spacecraft. […] Unlike the Earth's atmosphere, the air inside a moonship doesn't get cleaned by rains or winds.

1969 November, Arthur Fisher, “Science Newsfront: Last-minute news and notes to keep you up-to-date”, in Popular Science, volume 195, number 5, pages 22–24:

Other kits were for making aeroplanes, one a scale model of the Scandinavian Air Lines Douglas D.C.-8 which was expected to make the first flight from Britain to Los Angeles in April 1960. There was also a moonship of a type which the firm said will eventually reach the moon: all of which goes to show that sometimes toys precede the actual event and are not necessarily mementoes which come afterwards.

Disneyphilia

All the other shoppers were mousepeople, too, each one a nightmarish assemblage of disparate organs, the hideous creation of some demented vivisectionist, some latter-day Dr. Moreau with Disneyphilia and a sharp scalpel.

Arlene and Irwin Isaacs, psychotherapists from Fort Lauderdale, gush with Disneyphilia. “We believe that Walt Disney was a visionary person who had certain spiritual revelations of how the world should be, and we’d love to live in the middle of it.”

Among them were folks who made a point of not identifying as Disneyphiles, and who vocally berated those who were infantilized as “Disney nuts” or mindwashed “Disnoids.” Predictably, it was among the most highly educated and professional residents that the scorn for Disneyphilia was most pronounced.

en-noun

Disneybound (countable and uncountable, plural Disneybounds)

Coined by Leslie Kalbfleisch (a.k.a. Leslie Kay) in 2011 with her Tumblr blog called DisneyBound, from Disney + -bound. Kay described the context: “It was a travel site. My best friend and I were heading to Disney World, and we had been planning that trip since we were young … I was using this blog as a way to channel my excitement because we were literally Disney-bound. So I started doing these outfits, which is something that I always did when I was a little kid … I could dress up in these clothes without it actually being a costume.”

When showing off a Disneybound outfit online, it’s good form to link to where others can buy those clothes.

2017, Zoe Fraade-Blanar, Aaron M. Glazer, Superfandom: How Our Obsessions Are Changing What We Buy and Who We Are, Profile Books, →ISBN:

Disneybound has an even stronger impact when it’s seen on a pair or group, [Leo] Camacho said. […] The objective of Disneybound is to extract the essence of the character’s outfit and convey it subtly. […] Ultimately, “Disneybound is all about individuality,” she [Leslie Kay] said, and what she wants is for people to take the idea and use it to express their personal style, whether it’s punk, goth, sporty, vintage or preppy.

2015 November 18, Lisa Liddane, “Can’t dress up at Disneyland? Streetwear meets Disney in ‘Disneybound’ style”, in The Orange County Register, archived from the original on 2017-05-04:

In addition, one of the more formal ways that Cosplayers extend the Cosplay experiences in everyday life is by practicing Disneybound, […] Disneybound Bambi is accomplished by wearing light brown clothing and a scarf with white dots, […] In addition to the sartorial practice of Disneybound, there is Princessing and Princing, which range from dressing and performing as princesses and princess to wearing portions of costumes or clothes color blocked similar to a princess or prince characters. […] Cosplayers participate in Disneybound and Princessing/Princing because it allows them to share their love of their favorite characters beyond the fandom too.

(fandom slang, uncountable) The practice of Disneybounding; incorporating The Walt Disney Company–themed elements in one’s fashion.

Instead of wearing full-on costumes as cosplayers do, Disneybounders dress up in stylish, everyday outfits (known as Disneybounds) that are simply inspired by a particular character. […] Leslie Kay, the woman behind the DisneyBound Tumblr, showing off her Alice from "Alice in Wonderland" Disneybound. […] One big misconception, according to Leslie, is that a Disneybound is a costume. Disneybounders think of a character’s clothes and style as more of a jumping off point, rather than something to replicate exactly.

2017 November 15, Kelsey Borresen, “‘Disneybounding’ Is The Dress-Up Trend Creative Fans Are Obsessed With”, in HuffPost, archived from the original on 2018-10-03:

Since I got my start with Disney-inspired outfits, I’ll open this guide with Disneybounds, including everyone’s favorite princesses and villains, as well as some lesser-known characters. […] I found a dress on Amazon for thirty dollars, which is more than I would usually spend on a single piece, but since it was a plain dress that I could use for other Disneybounds and casual cosplays, it was worth it.

2021, Krystal Everdeen, Casual Cosplay: Character-Inspired Fashion You Can Wear Anywhere, Tiller Press, →ISBN, page 11:

One prominent social media influencer in the world of Disneybounding, Leslie Kay, contends that the appeal of the practice is that ‘it uses clothes to recreate the outfits of your favorite Disney characters without being costume-y. You could go to school or the mall in a Disneybound and not get pegged for being in costume.’

2021, Emma Pett, Experiencing Cinema: Participatory Film Cultures, Immersive Media and the Experience Economy, Bloomsbury Publishing, →ISBN:

It did not occur to me that my Disneybounding and scholarly plans might intervene, yet I was quickly fascinated by how guests and Cast Members alike would interact with me more the more recognizable my Disneybound was. […] Figure 9.1: The author wearing a Belle Disneybound. […] For example, if I had looked angry or upset, other guests may have been less likely to interact with me, even when I was in full Disneybound.

(fandom slang, countable) An outfit that incorporates The Walt Disney Company–themed elements; or, the incorporation itself.

“I have Disneybounded Merida, Minnie Mouse, Buzz Lightyear. … I have two different Ariel ones,” said [Elyssa] Kivus, 27. “I really like meeting the character when you’re Disneybounding as that character,” she said.

2015 May 18, Dewayne Bevil, “Disney fans display devotion”, in Sun Sentinel, volume 56, number 23, page 3B:

Stephanie Danet Disneybounding as Princess Jasmine from "Aladdin." […] Leslie [Kay] Disneybounding as the bird Becky from "Finding Dory." […] Brittani Enos-Blake Disneybounding as Snow White. She wore a Magic Mirror pin instead of carrying an actual mirror. […] Sara Katz-Scher Disneybounding as Minnie Mouse. […] Keshia [Sih-Tseng] and her husband Kevin Disneybounding as Han Solo and Chewbacca from "Star Wars." […] Sarah [Sterling] and her boyfriend, Leo [Camacho], Disneybounding as Dory and Nemo from "Finding Nemo."

Fans can also cosplay as Disney characters (although notably, not at the Disney parks themselves), or even ‘Disneybound’, a practice where fans dress in similar colours or looks to their favourite Disney characters (see also Rebecca Rowe’s chapter in this volume). […] [Rebecca Rowe, “To Act Like a Kid or Not to Act Like a Kid: Disneybounding in the Parks”] Moreover, on multiple occasions that day, people singled me out to talk to me, ignoring the rest of my family who were not Disneybounding. […] The one day that I did not Disneybound, I immediately faded into the background. / This experience deeply fascinated me: why would others treat me differently when they see me Disneybounding? […] On the other hand, guests may be more likely to approach someone who seems to be having a good time, whether or not they are Disneybounding, because childlike wonder and playfulness are part of Disney’s image of the child, suggesting that the guest is performing Disney’s script of childhood. […] BIPoC guests, likewise, can reimagine their chosen characters simply by Disneybounding as them (i.e. a Black Ariel).

2022, Sabrina Mittermeier, editor, Fan Phenomena: Disney, Intellect, →ISBN, part 2 (The Disney Theme Parks and Their Fans):

Most folks who Disneybound do so specifically for trips to Disney World or Disneyland, but the more subtle the references are in an outfit, the more likely they can be inconspicuous out in public.

(fandom slang, transitive, intransitive) To incorporate The Walt Disney Company–themed elements (of a specific character) in one’s fashion.

Disneyphobia

Harriette Hunt of Port St. Lucie traced her Disneyphobia back through the years. “I’ve never liked Disney,” Harriette Hunt explained.

1982 September 26, Ray Washington, “And then there are those who haven’t been to Disney World”, in The News Tribune, Fort Pierce, Fla./Port St. Lucie, Fla., page B13:

Add to these the writers who’ve seen their prices drop and their work “managed” beyond recognition, the directors who have been stripped of their autonomy, the agents who have been left sitting alone at the negotiating table, and the long list of litigants who’ve felt the heat of Disney’s legendarily voracious legal team, and you have a fairly large population of Disneyphobes. Last spring, the conclusion to a pair of brutal alley fights with the Muppets and Peggy Lee moved Disneyphobia from the back tables at Mortons into the mainstream of public opinion.

1991 November, Peter J. Boyer, “Katzenberg’s seven-year itch: Showtown superstition has it that Jeffrey Katzenberg’s winning streak at Disney is over, but the studio boss is determined to beat the odds”, in Vanity Fair, page 146, column 3:

Comments one French writer bemused by the outbreak of Disneyphobia: “We’ve never really forgiven the Americans for liberating us.”

1992 April 8, Alex Beam, “Eek! A mouse!”, in The Boston Globe, volume 241, number 99, page 19:

Strange affliction, Disneyphobia — and not very flattering. The dark pronouncements about Disney’s purchase of ABC contain an element of condescension; Disney’s products have widespread appeal, making them easy targets for snobs. The company also enjoys considerable success, which attracts the enmity of liberals who resent winners because winners have no need for liberalism’s pet virtue: compassion.

1995 August 11, “The Disneyphobes”, in Richmond Times-Dispatch, 145th year, number 223, Richmond, Va., page A14:

The issues of control and corporatism in community development that Beardsley raises deserve serious debate with less pop Disneyphobia and a little more historical professional perspective.

The 12-cartoon, 90-minute program, beginning Friday at the Cinema Village (22 E. 12th St., 212-924-3363, Manhattan), includes some truly outrageous racial stereotypes, sexist imagery, xenophobia and even Disney[-]phobia: “Coal Black and the Sebben Dwarfs” a parody of “Snow White,” has some terrific animation but is rampant with racist cliches.

1997 March 12, John Anderson, “When That Outwageous Bunny Was Bad”, in Newsday, volume 57, number 191, page B11:

One explanation for the strength of this Disneyphobia is that the vast majority of film critics do not like movies that are not obviously difficult and complicated. […] A more general reason for Disneyphobia is that the middle class seems naturally inclined to the Stoic error that enjoyment is incompatible with edification.

1999 October 26, Matthew d’Ancona, “Disney as the New Shakespeare”, in Ottawa Citizen, page A16:

Times Square, Disneyphobia, HegeMickey, The Ricky Principle, and the downside of the entertainment economy: it’s fun-dumb-mental

2001 December, Morris B. Holbrook, Marketing Theory, volume 1, page 139:

I had all but made peace with my Disneyphobia until one day last week while wandering through Target hunting a bath mat. […] a hoss of a woman screeched into her cell phone, rattling the lamps in the light fixture aisle. […] “[…] we thought we’d run on down to Disney for a few days.[…]” […] She had uttered the worst word possible: Disney. I fear it like a child scared of spooks under a bed. We have lucked out in the Disney department, thanks to the fact that Myrtle Beach, S.C., has Lazy Rivers and plenty of stucco’d and plastic wonders to entertain the children. […] Even in my in-laws do Disney every other year or so, and they’re almost 100. How come they can withstand 11 hours of driving that boring old highway fighting traffic, then checking into a crowded motel packed with obnoxious parents and hacking children?

2004 December 8, Susan Reinhardt, “Facing my fear: Doing Disney with the crowds”, in Asbury Park Press, page 18:

The entire experience was more overwhelming than a case of Disney-phobia. I’d just as soon hit four theme parks than ever return to a high school football game where rivals are playing and the teens are out en masse.

2005 August 30, Susan Reinhardt, “Football game injected me with a dose of culture shock and an eye full of hoochie-coochie”, in Asheville Citizen-Times, page D1:

Jon Harrison copes with Disneyphobia

But now I think I’ve found a particularly disturbing and personally resonant reason for my Disneyphobia. About ten minutes into Frozen, there’s a crucial and decidedly dark plot twist, when Anna and Elsa’s parents, the king and queen of Arendelle, board a sailing ship. In a startlingly graphic ten-second sequence, the ship is caught in a violent storm, overwhelmed by towering waves and dragged under. Small wonder she doesn’t want ‘to sink to the bottom of the water’. Who can blame her? Curse you, Mickey Mouse.
