unbirthday

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."

Hunting for treasures on any special day (like Easter, Christmas, birthdays or unbirthdays) can be fun for children and parents alike.

1995, Terry Orlick, Nice on My Feelings: Nurturing the Best in Children and Parents:

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, Sheila Ellison, 365 Games Smart Toddlers Play: Creative Time to Imagine, Grow and Learn:

I got some great photos with the unbirthday camera you left for me in the suitcase. Thanks.

But none were as crazy as this one -- when Phish's tie-dyed "Phans" danced in the aisles, sang along to the music and generally created a scene that recalled the Grateful Dead's glory daze.

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:

Fans were so frenzied by the idea of a romantic relationship between them that Phan has always maintained a spot in the top five of Yearly Top Ships on Tumblr for the past three years.

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 14, 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 14, 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:

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.

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. …

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.

Metroidvania

Metroidvania (countable and uncountable, plural Metroidvanias)

Blend of Metroid and Castlevania, two influential games of this type.

The Castlevania games share similarities with the Metroid series, in particular the free-roaming design in which new abilities allow access to different areas. Because of this, fans often refer to such games as "Metroidvania" in style.

2008, Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition:

It's got Metroidvania elements - it's structured like one, I guess, in that it's lots of exploration with a fair bit of backtracking and getting new abilities that unlock previously unopened areas and that sort of thing.

1998, Katherine Charlton, Rock Music Styles: A History, McGraw-Hill, page 116:

Then it’s early R.E.M. in excelsis: seething momentum, cascading guitar arpeggios, power-pop punch in the arrangements, […].

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.”

Belial

From Latin Bĕlĭal, from Hebrew בְלִיַּעַל.
Of uncertain origin. It has been conventionally been interpreted as בְּלִי (“without”) + a word meaning "use" (hence "useless, worthless"), but it is unclear what the latter word is.

bor

Hebrew בְלִיַּעַל

Here, too, the poet calls attention to Belial's role as one who blurs the borderline between essence and appearance: Belial himself seems fair (physically attractive), but is empty inside, and Milton was surely aware that in Hebrew the first syllable of the fallen angel's name means without.

Estas ja tre klare, ke malgraŭ postaj fremdiĝoj, la hobitoj estas niaj parencoj: pli proksimaj al ni ol la elfoj, aŭ eĉ la gnomoj.

1995, J. R. R. Tolkien, translated by William Auld, La kunularo de l' ringo, page 22:

It is indeed very clear that despite later alienation, the hobbits are our relatives: closer to us than the elves or even the dwarves.

La hobitoj ne estas tute kiel ordinaraj homoj, kaj kvankam ili loĝas en tre bonaj komfortaj truoj, kiuj estas sufiĉe bone aerumataj kaj tre malsimilaj al la goblenaj tuneloj, ili tamen pli bone konas tunelojn ol ni, kaj ili ne facile perdas sian direkton subtere, eĉ kiam iliaj kapoj resaniĝas post dolora frapo.

2005, Christopher Gledhill, chapter 5, in La hobito, aŭ tien kaj reen, 2nd edition, Kaliningrad: Sezonoj, translation of The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, →OL:

Hobbits are not quite like ordinary people; and after all if their holes are nice cheery places and properly aired, quite different from the tunnels of the goblins, still they are more used to tunnelling than we are, and they do not easily lose their sense of direction underground — not when their heads have recovered from being bumped.
