sourstuff

From sour + stuff. Calque of German Sauerstoff (“oxygen”) and/or Dutch zuurstof (“oxygen”), both loose loan translations of French oxygène. See oxygen for more.

This is approximately the heat of exploding what the Germans call bang-gas (mixture of sourstuff and waterstuff), the result being liquid.

1887, The Electrical journal, volume 18, page 482:

For an outshow, the gang of water has two waterstuff unclefts bound to one sourstuff uncleft; the gang of rust has two iron and three sourstuff unclefts; [...]

Thus, everyday sourstuff has eight neitherbits with its eight firstbits, but there are also kinds with five, six, seven, nine, ten, and eleven neitherbits. A samestead is known by the tale of both kernel motes, so that we have sourstuff-13, sourstuff-14, and so on, with sourstuff-16 being by far the mostfound.

1997, Poul Anderson, All One Universe, →ISBN:

“Best you and your thane don your sourstuff masks now, Judge Scoglund,” Ankowaljuu said, returning to English so Park and Dunedin could not misunderstand him.

2013, Harry Turtledove & L. Sprague deCamp, Down in the Bottomlands: And Other Places, →ISBN:

(chemistry, nonstandard, science fiction, rare) Oxygen.

Snapefic

en-noun

Snapefic (countable and uncountable, plural Snapefics)

Okay. I'm a bit of a Snape bore, & have read most of the good and bad ones that come out on ff.net. Here's a biased account of which I think are good.
[…]
 'I was Right' by Earthwalk. Widely considered the best Snapefic ther^([sic]) is.

2001 June 1, Morrighan, “Re: Looking for fanfic recs”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

i.e. I was proposing that Snape might have been attracted to Voldemort as 'the epitome of Dark Magic' rather than to death, torture and disappearances. Though the latter may also have been the case :-)
Glad you like it, as this is the theory I used in my Snapefic..!

2003 January 17, Igenlode, “Re: Why do some people find Snape attractive?”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

But with non-slash & non-porno, the best Snapefic I've read is "A Father's Sin" by Severitus, […] in which the professor discovers an unlikely student at Hogwarts is his son.

2003 May 12, Tennant Stuart, “Re: Harry Potter fanfics”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

(countable, Harry Potter fandom slang) A fanfic in which Severus Snape, of the Harry Potter series, is the protagonist.

LOL!! And she'd be right, too, if she did-- I've seen the film once before I started reading Snapefic and once since. [Professor Snape] seemed pretty slashable the first time, but the second time through-- oh my.

2001 November 25, ellen_fremedon, “OT snapefic Re: NEW DS9/VOY 1/1 "Toast" [PG]”, in alt.startrek.creative.erotica.moderated (Usenet):

Am coming back into HP fanficdom after a while away, & wondered if anyone could recommend some good recent Snape fanfics, as all the good Snape authors I know seem to be in hiding or no longer writing. I've found a lot of utter drivel out there, but little or no good recent Snapefic, & was wondering if anyone knew whether any of the Snapefic written in the last 10 months or so is good to outstanding.

2002 December 3, Morrighan, “Fanfic recs please - Snape”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

I suppose the reason so many Snapefic writers pair him up with Hermione is that she's really the only choice unless you're going to introduce an original character. In the long run, I don't see the age difference being a problem because of how long wizards live. In the short run, yeah, I could see Snape getting frustrated rather often with being the only adult in the relationship.

2003 April 4, Rebecca Webb, “Re: More Potter y\n?”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

(uncountable, Harry Potter fandom slang) Such fan fiction collectively.

ghostlore

From ghost + lore (“learning, knowledge”).

Three other sections of the state are important in this connection: the Adirondack Mountains and parts of the Catskills, which while sparsely settled and only slightly represented in this collection, have much good ghostlore yet to be collected.

1982, Louis Clark Jones, Three Eyes on the Past:

When one person tells another of a frightening experience, he is passing on ghostlore.

1995, Charles Edwin Price, Haunted Tennessee:

From ruthless gangsters to restless mail order kings, from the Fort Dearborn Massacre to the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, the phantom remains of the passionate people and volatile events of Chicago history have made the Second City second to none in the annals of American ghostlore.

2004, Ted Okuda, Jack Mulqueen, The Golden Age of Chicago Children's Television:

Ghost stories and tales of railroad heroics and tragedy may have mixed to create this unique type of ghostlore.

etymon

The video is part of a growing phenomenon making its way around message boards and e-mail chains called “creepypasta” — bite-sized bits of scariness that have joined the unending list of things-to-do-when-you’re-bored-at-work.

2010 November 14, “Bored at Work? Try Creepypasta, or Web Scares”, in The New York Times, Austin Considine:

The game was born from the familiar 'Slenderman' image, which you may or may not be familiar with from internet memes and creepypasta horror stories.

"[…] Listen to the nineteen personal creepypasta-style stories to piece together the mysterious events of that fateful night in 1898, when twelve orphans simply… disappeared!"

2013 September 20, “Huntsman: The Orphanage”, in Adventure Lantern, number 46, page 7:

The eerie “Lavender Town” theme has infiltrated the nightmares of an entire generation of children and has even inspired one of the most well known “creepypastas” on the Internet.

2013 November 14, Joey Dussault, “The 10 Best Original Soundtracks In The Gaming World”, in Tastemakers Magazine (Northeastern University), number 33, page 11:

A friend pointed her to Creepypasta, a collection of user-generated horror fan sites in which written, Photoshopped, and videotaped accounts of encounters with monsters and supernatural evil are presented as “real” in the form of encyclopedia entries, testimonials, and other “documentary” evidence.

2015 August 24, Lisa Miller, “Slender Man Is Watching”, in New York Magazine, page 62:

creepypasta

As creepypastas surgiram como uma evolução do folclore digital moderno. Essas histórias começaram a ganhar popularidade no início dos anos 2000, quando fóruns e sites de compartilhamento de histórias, como o 4chan e o Reddit, proporcionaram plataformas para que os usuários compartilhassem narrativas de terror originais.

2024 March 24, Millena dos Santos Siqueira, Creepypasta: você sabe o que é esse tipo de história?:

Creepypastas emerged as an evolution of modern digital folklore. These stories began to gain popularity in the early 2000s, when forums and story-sharing sites such as 4chan and Reddit provided platforms for users to share narratives of the original Horror.

A releitura dessas tramas com personagens macabros assustadores feita pela "geração selfie" chama-se Creepypasta.

2018 August 24, Momo, Slender Man e outras lendas da internet... O que é Creepypasta e como ela invadiu a cultura pop?:

The reinterpretation of these plots with scary macabre characters made by the "selfie generation" is called Creepypasta.

Algumas Creepypastas são impressionantes e conseguem entreter e fazer com que caia na boca do povo fazendo todo mundo falar, afinal muita gente gosta de uma historinha de terror e quer compartilhar aquilo, enquanto outras são mal escritas, às vezes porque o autor não tem capacidade criativa e às vezes porque o exagero chega ao ponto do ridículo quebrando todo o clima e fazendo a pessoa falar "Ah ta, então o teletubbie maldito matou a vizinhança dele toda, aham...".

2012 July 1, O que é Creepypasta? Descubra tudo sobre elas!:

Some Creepypastas are impressive and manage to entertain and make people talk, after all, many people like a horror story and want to share it, while others are poorly written, sometimes because the author lacks creative capacity. and sometimes because the exaggeration reaches the point of ridiculousness, breaking the whole atmosphere and making the person say "Ah, so the damn teletubbie killed his whole neighborhood, huh...".

high angel

From Middle English heh-engel, from Old English hēahengel (“archangel”).

And blessed art thou that diddest believe. For all things that have been spoken to thee from our Lord shall be performed. Second, that the angel Gabriel, which spake to the virgin, was an high angel, and an high messenger.

1856, Charles Lloyd, Formularies of Faith Put Forth by Authority During the Reign of Henry VIII:

In that night his Excellency also met the Taker-away-of-life ; and he begged of that high angel, "When thou takest away the souls of my people, do so easily, kindly, and gently."

1889, Sigismund Wilhelm Koelle, Mohammed and Mohammedanism:

Nor, again, would anybody guess, without previous knowledge or elucidation, that a highwayman was a kind of robber, a high-head a kind of coiffare, a high-low a kind of boot, a high-man a kind of loaded die, or that, when our ancestors spoke of a high-father, a high-angel, and a high-bishop, they meant a patriarch, an archangel, and an archbishop respectively.

1889, Proceedings of the Liverpool Literary & Philosophical Society - Volumes 43-44 - Page 172

Such a man continues to progress in this state till an imperceptible [tru]th opens between his mind and the minds of the seraphic order of high angels.

1965, The Islamic literature - Volume 11 - Page 31

Many foretell Michael's tide far and wide five nights on past the equinox when earls and ceorls keep harvest time with the high angel's feast remembered together throughout the land.

2003, Cyril Roy Hart, Learning and culture in late Anglo-Saxon England and the influence of Ramsey Abbey on the major English monastic schools:

Vohumano came to be considered, first as one of the highangels attendant on him, and then formally as one of his six councillors.

2004, George Rawlinson, The Seven Great Monarchies of the Ancient Eastern World:

The high angel, Michael, flanked by the two commanders, continued his relentless attack bearing grimly and deliberately down upon the two dark leaders, Python and Jezebel.

2008, Miriam E. Bellamy, Demons in the Sanctuary:

As Sagittarius examined the pictures, the writer told of meeting both a High Angel, one named Tyrrell, and an Arch Demon, a Seraph, one of the four Seraphim who fell in the rebellion. Sag thought about the matter. A third of Heaven.

2008, Merrll O'Brian, 665 the Council Of: (Part One) - Page 241:

So to Keil and a host of others he is the preincarnate Christ, while Michael is a high angel.

1995, Ramona Fernandez, “Pachuco Mickey”, Elizabeth Bell, Lynda Haas, Laura Sells (ed.), From Mouse to Mermaid: The Politics of Film, Gender, and Culture, Indiana University Press, part 3, chapter 15, 236

counter-earth

To the same period may perhaps belong the theory that the comet is a separate planet; this eighth planet might serve, when the counter-earth had been discarded, to maintain the number ten in regard to the heavenly bodies.

1881, Eduard Zeller, Sarah Frances Alleyne, A History of Greek Philosophy:

The report of Aristotle and Philip of Opus, that the higher frequency of lunar than of solar eclipses was explained by the presence of the counter-earth, and perhaps also other earth-like bodies in space, takes us into a similar context.

1972, Walter Burkert, Lore and Science in Ancient Pythagoreanism, page 344:

The interposition of the counter-earth between the sun and the moon is the cause of their eclipses. And just as our earth has a counter-earth, each planet has a counter-planet, a planetary companion (as Bruno would say in his later works), which revolves with the other one on the same circle but at the opposite end of its diameter.

2016, Miguel Á. Granada, Patrick J. Boner, Dario Tessicini, Unifying Heaven and Earth, page 126:

A hypothetical planet sharing an orbit with the earth, but on the opposite side of the sun.

The astroships — as we have named the future space vehicles — will be much more comfortable than the Apollo cabins.

1999, Joseph Neil Schulman, Brad Linaweaver, Profile in Silver: And Other Screenwritings, page 472:

If these are astroships from someplace besides our specific, physical universe, maybe they come from a place where our laws of physics do not apply, where there is no such thing as velocity/momentum.

2007, Kelly D. Bell, Visitors: A New Look at UFOs:

(science fiction) A spaceship; a starship.

If in a mere 60 years we've learned enough that the predictions of the Futurists then have become "zeerust" today, how long before the predictions on this very blog become subject of ridicule and sympathy directed at our naivete?
