philactory

"Know thy own worth, and reverence the lyre," is a line that should be as a fillet bound round the brow—a philactory embroidered on the garments of every son and daughter of Adam distinguished by the possession of that sacred gift, which, whether used or abused, applauded in itself or derided in its possessor, is the highest and the most inalienable distinction humanity ever has or ever can be gifted with, whether bestowed on the highest or the humblest being, in the great mass to which we all belong.

Rowlingesque

en-adj

Rowlingesque (comparative more Rowlingesque, superlative most Rowlingesque)

more Rowlingesque (comparative)
most Rowlingesque (superlative)

Part of the fun of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books are the names she comes up with; the author said in a recent online chat that she’s amassed dozens of notebooks where she jotted down unusual names she saw or thought up. Here are the Rowlingesque meanings behind a few:[…]

2000 July 1, The Detroit News, page 16C:

[…]Scamander’s account is clearly rooted in the ancient descriptions, with some Rowlingesque revisions in the role of Herpo the Foul (“a Greek dark wizard and Parselmouth” who create the first Basilisk (3), among other things[…]

2005, Cynthia Whitney Hallett, Scholarly Studies in Harry Potter: Applying Academic Methods to a Popular Text, The Edwin Mellen Press, →ISBN, page 69:

Mr. Larsen’s Hairy Pothead learns to play Qannabbi instead of Quidditch, meets Delirious Bake instead of Sirius Black — and on it goes with other Rowlingesque characters such as Master Head Alwaze Duinthadope.

2007 September 21, National Post, volume 9, number 276, page A8:

The book contains such typically Rowlingesque characters as tree stumps with eyes and hairy hearts, and includes a frontispiece noting that the stories were “translated from the original runes.”

2007 November 2, “Rowling bids farewell to Harry for charity”, in The Ottawa Citizen, page A10:

Strong sales (a combined 143 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list) and some serious online obsession from teen girl fans have vaulted Meyer to Rowlingesque heights of popularity;

2008 July 30, John Burns, “Twilight Saga fans prepare for Friday midnight release”, in The Vancouver Sun, page D3:

Why, then, are we so wedded to the romantic illusion of authors as poor, tortured, hungry souls, labouring in unheated garrets until the day they are discovered and rewarded with fairy[-]tale fortunes of Rowlingesque proportions?

2010 February 16, “Now we can all believe in ghostwriters”, in The Daily Telegraph, page 20:

The emphasis in the script by Steve Kloves (a credited contributor to all but one of the Potter screenplays) is on intensity, as Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and best friends Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint — a Rowlingesque name in its own right) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) make their way back to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, in hopes of destroying the last of the magical “horcruxes” that contain the divided pieces of Voldemort’s soul.

2011 July 14, John Beifuss, “‘Deathly Hallows: Part 2’ ends Potter saga”, in The Commercial Appeal, page M4:

2010’s “The Lightning Thief” was way too Rowlingesque, a fantasy-adventure set in a magical boarding school directed by “Potter” vet Chris Columbus.

2013 August 9, The Anniston Star, volume 133, number 221, page 4B:

The classroom had been transformed to look like one from Hogwarts, with cobwebs and ‘traditional desks’ and one student teacher was performing the role of a ‘Rowlingesque’ potions teacher quite beautifully.

2016, Adrian Copping, Being Creative in Primary English, SAGE Publications, page 17:

And more intimately, the Rowlingesque celebration of discovering kinship in the unlikeliest places, and being who you are without apology.

2016, Ian Nathan, Inside the Magic: The Making of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, HarperCollins:

My sixth novel didn’t do so well with the critics, though the sales were Rowlingesque.

2018, Ian McEwan, My Purple Scented Novel, Vintage, →ISBN:

Another retooled technique is that of fantasy or fairy tale, now used not for the purposes of magic realism but by a novelist like Hamid in Exit West (2017), as his characters commute between war zones and other places, through magic doors reminiscent of Rowlingesque portals.

2021, Justin Quinn, Gabriela Kleckova, “Introduction”, in Anglophone Literature in Second-Language Teacher Education: Curriculum Innovation through Intercultural Communication, Routledge:

Characteristic of J. K. Rowling (born 1965), British author, philanthropist, film producer, and screenwriter.

→ English: Buyan

Various etymologies are proposed for this name.
Per Vasmer, related to a word that meant "an elevated place open on all sides, a market square, a barn". According to Vladimir Dal, the name was possibly from Proto-Turkic *buydan, meaning "elevated space, market square", making it somewhat related to майда́н (majdán).
According to Potebna and Preobr., related to an obsolete term, буй (buj), which meant "a hill, an open place, a crowded place", making it derived from Proto-Slavic *bujati (“to grow rapidly, to rage”). Another theory suggests that the name was from Proto-Slavic *bujanъ or Proto-Slavic *bujьnъ (“stormy, violent”).

(folklore) Buyan (in medieval Russian folklore, a mysterious island with the ability to appear and disappear with the tide; the home of the Zoryas (solar goddesses) and three brothers representing the Northern, Western, and Eastern Winds)


horcrux

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Lord Voldemort

Coined by author J. K. Rowling through the random "transposition of syllables," though fans have pointed to the possible influence of Middle English hore (“iniquity, evil, sin”) and English crux (“the central or essential part”). The term first appears in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2005).

They stared at it as if it was the one ring or the holy grail or a horcrux, or perhaps all of them rolled into one. An empty, plastic cat food bowl.

2013, Adam Rawlins, The Strange Encounter of Sally Shakespeare and Toby Tinker, page 24:

They were standard fit, vintage wash, pretty expensive, and I showed them to him and I said, “These are yours if you want them.” And do you know what he did? He actually flinched. Like these were haunted pants or something. Like these were Horcrux jeans with a piece of Lord Voldemort’s soul in them.

2013, Teddy Steinkellner, Trash Can Days: A Middle School Saga, page 20:

Again, he didn’t say anything and she asked him about the arrowhead—was it his Horcrux or something? was there a piece of his soul trapped inside it?—and he shrugged it off.

2016, Joe Halstead, West Virginia, page 38:

In the Harry Potter series, an object in which a wizard has concealed a part of their soul through magic, rendering them immortal until the object is irreparably damaged or destroyed.

From Middle Welsh diauul, from Proto-Brythonic *diaβul, from Latin diabolus. Doublet of diawl.


Scroogesque

en-adj

Scroogesque (comparative more Scroogesque, superlative most Scroogesque)

The Tories have been positively Scroogesque with our accumulated billions.

1981 May 21, William Thorsell, “Life’s a ball, a Fund-thing”, in Edmonton Journal, page A4:

To me, growing increasingly Scroogesque, each day is a Winterreise, without the snow, the linden tree, the cold (though a chute or two is pneumonia-drafty) or the weather-vane.

1986, Studs Terkel, Chicago, Pantheon Books, →ISBN, page 2:

I mean three years ago in this very supplement of your newspaper some fool actually wrote an article called ‘How to Ruin Your Child’s Christmas’. That kind of stuff gets back to me and it hurts. I mean, we can do without that sort of Scroogesque rubbish.

1987 December 24, “Santa Claus”, quotee, “The Santa Interview”, in The Age, 134th year, number 41,364, page 1:

Many gardeners are lukewarm toward poinsettias. The main trouble with them is they stay in bloom till March, but I suppose it’s Scroogesque to complain of a pot plant that behaves so well.

1988 December 23, Henry Mitchell, “‘Rotten’ gifts for gardeners grow cheer”, in The Daily Sentinel, volume 97, number 23, Grand Junction, Colo., page 1C:

The great guru X Moore, former lead singer of Trotskyist skinhead band The Redskins, took a less Scroogesque view. He claimed that Xmas is but a foretaste of the coming socialist millennium[…]

To the Scroogesque reference to a Christmas party which I attended, along with City staff, I must clear up the events that actually took place.

1995 January 19, “An Open Letter to the Community from Willie Preston, Mayor Pro Tem”, in Lincoln News Messenger, volume 104, number 16, Lincoln, Calif., page 3:

Gardner suggests the perfect gift for the person in your life who has it all — nothing! It’s not as Scroogesque as it sounds. She recommends giving a gift from her Global Gift Guide instead. Such gifts might include clothing and shelter for a homeless child in Vietnam for $35 a month or dental exams for children in Cambodia.

1996 December 10, Dolores Tropiano, “Putting Heart in the Holidays: Generous deeds bring out true meaning of the season”, in The Arizona Republic, 107th year, number 206, Phoenix, Ariz., page C1:

I’ve owned and ridden a motorcycle for three years, and on Sunday morning I took part in the 20th annual Vancouver Toy Run for the third time. It is a great event that provides a little bit of joy not only for the participants, but also for the thousands of Lower Mainland children who are recipients of the donated toys. I’m saddened by Burnaby’s Scroogesque attitude to the Toy Run, as are many others (‘Families disadvantaged’ by disappointing run, Oct. 26).

1998 October 29, Mike Stanger, “Happy event hurt by image of bikers as bad guys”, in The Vancouver Sun, page A18:

Of course, I love giving gifts, because I’m a loving and giving sorta girl. But not that loving and giving, because I’ll only do it on my terms, which unfortunately also means that I don’t like giving gifts when you’re meant to give them. So I am rubbish at birthdays and only slightly better at Christmas (and then only because I like expensive, glitzily-themed wrapping concepts). The problem is, I worry so extraordinarily about getting it right that, forever teetering on the brink of extravagant impulse buys and Scroogesque denial, I sometimes don’t get it at all rather than get it remotely wrong.

1998 November 22, The Observer, page 44:

What is it about each passing Christmas that causes the next to seem so appealing? Maybe it’s the fact that the next is a full year away! That may seem Scroogesque, but there is a bit of truth in it for a lot of adults.

1998 December 24, Clay McFerrin, “What’s in the value of a gift?”, in The Charleston Sun-Sentinel, volume 75, number 52, Charleston, Miss., page 4:

Buying shoes without shoe boxes bespeaks cheapness of Scroogesque proportions.

2001, Stephen Brown, Marketing – the Retro Revolution, SAGE Publications, →ISBN, page 96:

The lines, in short, suggest themselves as a Scroogesque anti-echo of verse written at the century’s start: / My meat shall all come in, in Indian shells, / Dishes of agat set in gold, and studded / With emeralds, sapphires, hyacinths and rubies.

2003, Anthony Fowles, John Dryden: A Critical Study, Greenwich Exchange, page 92:

Although overall holiday-sales forecasts range from Panglossian to Scroogesque, analysts agree that online shopping is booming.

2003 December 15, Paul Andrews, “Christmas Clicking”, in U.S. News & World Report, page 42:

Perhaps I’m being a little Scroogesque to inform Susie “No Mates” Rushton about all the beautiful Christmas cards that have been dropping heavily into our hallway, courtesy of our friendly postman.

2008 December 24, David Fee, quotee, The Independent, number 6,925, page 26:

Truth is for me I didn't know whether it was managerial incompetence or planned Scroogesque mismanagement. Always being such a tight arse to this extreme is bad management in the restaurant game.

2014, Stephen Scala, Curly Dish Pig Tales, Balboa Press, Hay House, →ISBN, page 123:

Resembling or characteristic of Ebenezer Scrooge; bad-tempered, selfish and miserly.

Yeah, and guess what, I still don't care. And by "the rest of the world"
you're referring to Eurostan and Muslim nations.

2004 November 22, Don Swayser, “Terrorism in Iraq”, in alt.politics (Usenet):

Ok, let them all receive their lessons from the imams in Arabic and
Urdu. I think all of the European countries should do this, since the
native Europeans will be dhimmis soon enough. With it becoming Eurostan
and all.

2006 April 28, Evron, “'Separate laws for Muslims' idea slammed (Sweden)”, in soc.culture.israel (Usenet):

It is remarkable to me that the overwhelming majority have not turned
towards radical Islam because that sure as hell is where many on the right
would like to see them go on this group and their talk of 'Eurostan',
'Londistan' and all other manner of derisory comments is designed to make
them feel, "if that's how they see us, we might as well be that ( better to
die on our feet than live on our knees )".

I don’t think Orwell foresaw this multicultural superstate. This is something new. All we can be sure of is that this Eurostan—the new European superstate now in the making—will be a multicultural dystopia rife with race wars, gang rapes, cheap foreign labor, widespread unemployment for the dispossessed White minority, bullying bosses, cowed workers, overflowing prisons, fatcat lawyers, psychotic politicians, police state surveillance, fabricated news items, false flag attacks, demoralized families, dysfunctional children, schools for morons, mass suicides, manufactured diseases, promoted perversions, drug addiction, gambling, prostitution, pornography, serial killers on the rampage, and nonstop mindless entertainment for the zombified masses.

hypermissile

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

The sight of another hypermissile impacting the Shield mollified him only a little; the backup fire-control comp had taken over without a hiccup, but precious little good did that do him, isolated on the bridge with no way of knowing what was going on. The only comfort, and bare comfort at that, was that there was only one lance. And it was damaged, too.

1993, Sherwood Smith, Dave Trowbridge, The Phoenix in Flight, TOR, →ISBN, page 181:

Pavanaz tripped into hyperspace, burned the cruiser with his exhaust, threw all power to his screens and deflected the carrier's hypermissiles.

2006, Brian Lumley, Screaming Science Fiction: Horrors from Out of Space, Subterranean Press, →ISBN, page 124:

He did not need what it represented: a ship-size heat signature, something out in space beyond the asteroid, just a few kelvins. In the tactical display, blue diamonds shot toward the spot, hypermissiles tracking the tiny difference in temeprature. The ship did not fight back.

2017, Craig DeLancey, Evolution Commandos, 496\Perfect Number Press:

The archcommander caught his arm and tried to draw him away, counseling caution, but the enraged Patrician shook him off, saying, "He gave you this place that should have been your prison and turned it into a palace, let you work your damned unnatural magics wherever you pleased, let you recruit more of your own kind...”

hysterical realism

Coined by English critic James Wood in 2000 to describe Zadie Smith's White Teeth.

coin

This is not magical realism. It is hysterical realism. […] The conventions of realism are not being abolished but, on the contrary, exhausted, and overworked.

2000 July 24, James Wood, “Human, All Too Inhuman”, in The New Republic, →ISSN:

(literature) A literary genre typified by a strong contrast between elaborately absurd prose, plotting, or characterization, on the one hand, and careful, detailed investigations of real, specific social phenomena on the other.


Isonade

/ˌiːsəʊˈnɑːdeɪ/

Transliteration of Japanese 磯撫で (いそなで, Isonade, literally “shore stroker”).

translit

With more than 70% of the Earth's surface submerged beneath water, it comes as no surprise that throughout history mankind has been fascinated with the seas and oceans. In earlier years this fascination manifested itself in the form of fear and mystery; […] in Japanese stories, fierce winds would blow whenever Isonade, a shark-like sea monster, appeared.

2009 June, Marios Christou, “Introduction”, in Fully Nonlinear Computations of Waves and Wave-structure Interaction (unpublished Ph.D. thesis), London: Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Imperial College London, →DOI, →OCLC, page 25:

Another Japanese giant fish is Isonade, a sharklike sea monster that causes strong winds and also capsizes boats or catches unwary fishermen with the hooks on its huge tail.

2011, Gene Helfman, Bruce Collette, “Fishes in Stories and Literature”, in Fishes: The Animal Answer Guide, Baltimore, Md.: Johns Hopkins University Press, →ISBN, page 131:

Nipponese sailors traveling along the western coast of Japan are warned to keep a weather eye open for the Isonade, akin in form to a huge shark with hook-like barbs on its tail. Much as the giant namazu catfish of Japanese legend is associated with earthquakes, the movements of the gigantic Isonade are said to be the source of sudden changes in sea currents and winds from the north.

Elsanna

Ultimately, Elsanna femslash considers the repressive power of sexual taboo insofar as it can reject that power, electing instead, as Elsa's character sings in the film's coming-out scene par excellence, to "let it go."

2019, Sara K. Howe, Susan E. Cook, “Introduction: Entering the Fringe”, in Sara K. Howe, Susan E. Cook, editors, Representing Kink: Fringe Sexuality and Textuality in Literature, Digital Narrative, and Popular Culture, page 11:

Fans of the show Supernatural have created digitally manipulated images of its two male leads, the Wincester brothers, in bed together (aka “Wincest”), and fan-fiction stemming from the popular children’s film Frozen (2013) casts the two sisters, Elsa and Anna, as lovers (aka “Elsanna”).

2019, Lara Karaian, “Relative Lust: Accidental Incest’s Affective and Legal Resonances”, in Law, Culture and the Humanities, volume 15, number 3, pages 8–9:

While other male/male fan pairings were referred to more often than elsanna, it was the first and only female/female pairing that I came across during my search.

2021, Victor Larsen, "'It Makes Me, A Minor, Uncomfortable': Media and Morality In Anti-Shippers' Policing of Online Fandom", thesis submitted to Ghent University, page 43

(fandom slang) The incestuous ship of the fictional sisters Elsa and Anna from the Frozen franchise.


pro-shipper

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-pro-shipper.wav

From pro- + shipper (“one who supports a romantic or sexual relationship between characters”). Some posit that the second sense originated as a blend of problematic + shipper.

prefix

I think this whole thing is a semantic misunderstanding.. the anti-shippers and the pro-shippers are putting entirely different meanings into the phrase 'in love'.

1996 July 9, Chris Byler, “Re: 'PUSHER was a 'Shipper!! *gak*!”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

For all you pro-shippers and anti-shippers keep posting and debating. Someone is watching you.

1997 April 25, Terry Luck, “Re: 'SHIPPERS SUCK!!!!”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

As a pro-shipper, I think it's gonna be a long season. Will spring ever get here?

1997 November 24, Susan J. Daniell, “Re: Shippy parts lead into MOVIE!!”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

(fandom slang) One who supports a specific ship or shipping in general.


relationshipper

From relationship + -er. Emerged in early online fandom of the television series The X-Files as a term for fans who supported the possibility of a Mulder/Scully romance. First attested on alt.tv.x-files in January 1996, but it was seemingly already in use by then.

I don’t care what the relationshippers say, it’s just so OBVIOUS to try to get the two of them together and the X-Files has never been obvious.

1996, Paul Mitchell, The Duchovny Files: The Truth Is In Here, page 190:

There were the relationshippers whose focus was on Mulder and Scully’s relationship, or the MSR as it was called (with a possible emphasis on romance).

2002, Tom Kessenich, EXaminations: An Unauthorized Look at Seasons 6-9 of The X-files, page 4:

In media fan lingo, the idea of an OTP—the One True Pairing, a fan's absolute favorite fictional couple—can be tossed around rather casually. In terms of my history as a relationshipper, Willow and Oz will always be mine, but the real OTP in my fan identity is Buffy and me.

2012, Lily Rothman, “'I'd Very Still': Anthropology of a Lapsed Fan”, in Joss Whedon: The Complete Companion, page 134:

(fandom slang) A person who supports a romantic or sexual relationship between fictional characters or real people.


anti-relationshipper

I realize the subject of the nature of M&S's relationship is a sore point around here, but I've never written about it before, and was invited to share my two cents. I'd like to propose that in addition to relationshippers and anti-relationshippers, there is a third faction of viewers, such as myself, who for lack of a better word I'll call "fence-sitters."

1996 June 24, Deb Mikels, “Never say never”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

I would probably be classed as an anti-relationshipper myself, because my advice would be to close out the Tease and have them settle down to a deep, abiding, nonsexual love.

1996 November 6, Lee Burwasser, “Re: Are shippers dumb?”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

I am a fervent and proud anti-relationshipper. No non-platonic relationship whatsoever, and I'm happy.

1998 April 2, Sean Carroll, “Re: RELATIONSHIPPER OR FRIENDSHIPPER?????”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

(X-Files fandom slang) A person who opposes the idea of a romantic relationship between Fox Mulder and Dana Scully.

purple shirt of sex

She stays with the brown and white color scheme, but adds a purple stripe and fringe to the ends to represent Sherlock's “purple shirt of sex.”

2016, Brigid Cherry, Cult Media, Fandom, and Textiles: Handicrafting as Fan Art, page 109:

Little did they know, there would soon be legions of fans armed with evidence to the contrary like the button-down that was labeled the “Purple Shirt of Sex,” because, well, it was both fairly low cut and stirred all kinds of feelings.

2020, Esther Zuckerman, A Field Guide to Internet Boyfriends: Meme-Worthy Celebrity Crushes from A to Z, unnumbered page:

Okay, let me explain something to you.
This is a Pokémon newsgroup. This is where people who like Pokémon come to talk, not where bashing of Pokémon is encouraged. If you dislike Pokémon to such a degree, and think so lowly of those who like it, then you are lowering your own mental activity by visiting this newsgroup and posting TWICE.
Also, you never did explain what's wrong with Pokémon, besides that it's popular among seventh-grade students.
You didn't understand that? Okay, let me put it in your language:
