Red Queen hypothesis

An allusion to a remark by the Red Queen in Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass: "Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place." The hypothesis was advanced in 1973 by American biologist Leigh Van Valen, who called it the Red Queen's hypothesis.

Stenseth and Maynard Smith (1984) reformulated this hypothesis by including the idea of evolutionary lag and dismissing Van Valen's zero-sum assumption. They contrast the Red-Queen hypothesis with the stationary hypothesis, q.v. Hoffman and Kitchell (1984 in Lewin 1985a, 400) offer some support for the Red-Queen hypothesis.

2000, Edward M. Barrows, Animal Behavior Desk Reference, 2nd edition, CRC Press, page 358:

We extend the Red Queen hypothesis, a mechanism proposed to maintain genetic diversity at the population level, to explain diversity at the community level.

2008, Keith Clay et al., “Chapter 7: Red Queen Communities”, in Richard S. Ostfeld, Felicia Keesing, Valerie T. Eviner, editors, Infectious Disease Ecology, Princeton University Press, page 145:

The Red Queen hypothesis defines evolution as a kind of arms race, in which species must constantly evolve and adapt merely to survive.

2018, Tim Flannery, Europe: A Natural History, page 219:

(evolutionary theory) An evolutionary hypothesis which proposes that organisms must constantly adapt, evolve, and proliferate not merely to gain reproductive advantage, but also simply to survive while pitted against other evolving organisms in an ever-changing environment.

Sterek

Some shows have released official promos that play up the fans' favorite slash couples to court fans, most recently Hawaii Five-O and Teen Wolf, whose showrunner began to write the show itself in a slashy direction when he became aware of the popularity of “Sterek,” the slash pairing of sidekick Stiles and alpha wolf Derek.

2013, Katherine Larsen, Lynn S. Zubernis, Fangasm: Supernatural Fangirls, University of Iowa Press, →ISBN, page 101:

"Teen Wolf 'Sterek' fans, we've read your (hundreds and hundreds of) comments and admire your passion," EW.com responded. "The reason Sterek didn't make the category is because it's not an acknowledged will-they-or-won't-they storyline."
This controversy led the gay entertainment news site AfterElton.com to start an annual "slash madness" tournament. Sterek won the first.

2013 October 31, Zachary Pincus-Roth, “Slash Fiction: A Fantasy World in Which Male TV Characters Find Romance — With Each Other”, in LA Weekly:

Even a nascent fandom will begin to develop its own tropes. You could see it, for instance, in the popular Sterek pairing in the Teen Wolf fandom as it took off.

Barack Obama, on the other hand, is a consummate Gryffindor. He comes across in interviews and speeches as someone who's truly kind and angry about the country's woes, though it's clear he doesn't recklessly allow this anger to cloud his decisions.

2011 August 24, Cyrus Duff, “Which House? Harry Potter Helps Sort Presidential Field”, in Hartford Courant:

I pulled out a Gryffindor key chain I had been saving for just such an emergency, and she cheered up while telling me why she was definitely a Gryffindor and not a Slytherin.

Pottermaniac

J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Bloomsbury; 636 pages) would have sold millions of copies had its publishers simply dumped them in bookstores, unannounced, and then got out of the way as word of mouth spread among stampeding Pottermaniacs.

2000 July 24, Paul Grey, “Harry's Magic is Back Again”, in Time:

The launch of the fifth book, for instance, involved only one personal appearance, when JKR read extracts to 4,000 carefully selected Pottermaniacs in the Albert Hall.

2007, Bernard Cova, Robert Kozinets, & Avi Shankar, Consumer Tribes, Butterworth-Heinemann, →ISBN:

If you are a Pottermaniac, this is the month for you. "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" opens today, and on July 21 the seventh and final Potter tome lands with a thud at your local bookstore.

2007 July 12, Peter Rainer, “'Phoenix' rising: Harry Potter and the abridged tome”, in The Christian Science Monitor:

One who loves the Harry Potter series of books and films.


Slytherinish

en-adj

Slytherinish (comparative more Slytherinish, superlative most Slytherinish)

more Slytherinish (comparative)
most Slytherinish (superlative)

What it probably means is that Dumbledore et al must constantly contend without the authority to take action, especially in light of Fudge, who is probably Slytherinish enough to fire any MoM officials who contend that Volemort^([sic]) has returned.

2003 April 11, John VanSickle, “Re: What BUGS you most about the OP Hints?”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

He was Slytherinish in his early life (which he sort of returns to in Mort, but look at his dedication to Death in Hogfather. People do change (a weakness in the whole sorting system).

2004 September 1, Daniel Speyer, “Re: Sorta [R] Sorting other Fictional Characters:”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

He would not have changed; the Slytherinish traits are already there.

2005 August 25, T. M. Summers, “Re: Snape's situation”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

Of, related to, or exhibiting traits associated with Slytherin house from the Harry Potter series.


Potterite

Fungi in the forest and the surrounding area include names that would delight any Potterite: dead man's fingers, yellow brain fungus, dung roundhead, scarlet elfcup […]

2003, Connie Ann Kirk, J. K. Rowling: A Biography, Greenwood Press, →ISBN, page 24:

Though it seemed that every Potterite in line had their own theories about the future of Harry Potter, some weren't so certain about their own futures after finishing the book.

2007 July 21, Caroline E. Richardson, “Fans line up for farewell to Harry”, in The Commercial Appeal:

It took more than three years of research, but we managed to find sixty-eight (68) Potter Places in the UK—specifically on the island of Great Britain. However, not all of these sites are places every Potterite will enjoy.

most Hufflepuffish (superlative)

Poor Neville. He really is a Gryffindor, not a Hufflepuff, although he seems Hufflepuffish at times.

2003 May 27, Miranda, “Re: Out of the Sorting Hat”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

But I wouldn't say he was very Hufflepuffish or Gryffindorish either.

2004 September 2, Rick R., “Re: Just for the heck of it…”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

I see Hufflepuffish spirit in the unwillingness of Cornelius Fudge and the Ministry of Magic to accept that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named has returned and that traditions et al need to be altered to deal with the threat. Heck, the whole society seems stifled by Hufflepuffish values.

2005 July 8, Beowulf Bolt, “Re: Raising god-level children”, in rec.arts.sf.written (Usenet):

Potterholic

My eight-year-old, as die-hard a Potterholic as they come, a kid who can probably remember Hogwarts minutiae that even JK has forgotten, walked out of the multiplex and gave it a five out of 10.

2001 November 25, Charlie Fletcher, “Has Potter movie magic lost its spell?”, in Scotland on Sunday:

By the time the doors were ready to open, the Potterholics had managed to transform the bland room, with its gray-knotted carpet and vaulted ceiling, into a dark and chapelesque space, hung with streamers and Hogwarts house banners, and a looped clip of floating candles from the Harry Potter movies playing on the wall.

2008, Melissa Anelli, Harry, A History, Pocket Books, →ISBN, page 103:

As a 'Potterholic' myself, clad in a Gryffindor scarf, wand tucked into my front pocket, armed with the first and best tickets for the first showing, I waited impatiently for the movie to begin.

2010, Sangeetha Alagappan, “Casting a spell over Bahrain”, in Gulf Weekly, Volume 9, Issue 47, 24 November - 30 November 2010:

Peter/Wormtail has not shown any Gryffindorish trait so far.

2007 May 2, Bonehammer, “Re: (Ex) Students behaving out of character with their house”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

hengeyokai

1985, David Cook, Oriental Adventures, TSR Inc., →ISBN
Hengeyokai are intelligent, shape-changing animals. Several subraces exist, each a different type of animal. They are found throughout the Oriental world, usually on the fringes of human-settled lands.

1998-01-28, Lee Gold, Re: B5 Filk: You Picked A Fine Time To Leave Us Sinclair, rec.music.filk
If a hengeyokai fails to concentrate (or perhaps gets distracted -- due to being beaten, seeing a mouse, fatigue), the human form's ears may get pointed or a tail may appear.

Hengeyokai transfer between forms almost instantly, though when in human form, they often retain some mark of characteristic of their true animal nature.

2001, Laurence C. Bush, Asian Horror Encyclopedia: Asian Horror Culture in Literature, Manga and Folklore, Writers Club Press, page 69:

2013-10-12, Jasin Zujovic, Hengeyokai level adjustment, rec.games.frp.dnd
I've been watching Inuyasha yesterday (too bad that's a German dub and I can understand almost nothing) and that got me wanting to make myself a hengeyokai character... and then I remembered the level adjustment.

(folklore) A legendary Japanese animal with the ability to shapeshift into human form.

He was also beginning to lose faith that the recently recovered and bizarrely incoherent Ehrehin was really capable of delivering a working singularity- powered stardrive prototype any time in the foreseeable future.

Whatever kind of creatures they were, and whatever the disaster that threatened their planet, they had a star-drive to take them out of the solar system to another star.

What could be gleaned from study of the landing craft was as far from the stardrive as their first steam engine had been from that spaceship itself; there was no chance of premature contact with other races.

(science fiction) a device used to propel a spacecraft through interstellar distances

Makes me wish I had a VCR so I could blow the dust off of all my video tapes and have a Who-athon.

1993 November 25, Michele Paige Goudie, “Oh geeze, I missed it.”, in rec.arts.drwho (Usenet):

Trekverse

No, he [Picard] was French but his accent confuses anybody who doesn't know him…
Or maybe in the Trekverse, France is a part of the United Kingdom...

2002 March 22, machf [username], “Re: ENTERPRISE="AMERICANS IN SPACE"?”, in rec.arts.startrek.current (Usenet):

Most internet Trek role-plays have rules to prevent people from creating super-techs or acting like a superhero because it is not realistic in the Trekverse.

2003 January 4, Baggers [username], “Re: New Shielding......?”, in uk.media.tv.sf.startrek (Usenet):

This is Uhura's – and Uhura's fans' – big moment, the moment in which she blazingly comes alive as a member of the Trekverse.

2009, David Greven, Gender and Sexuality in Star Trek: Allegories of Desire in the Television Series and Films, McFarland & Company, →ISBN, page 216:

Trekiverse

I was looking more for episodes like this, which deal with the repurcussions^([sic]) of a major war affecting every major civilisation known to the Trekiverse.

1999 March 5, Reverend Sean O'Hara, “[DS9] The Reverend's Review: Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges”, in rec.arts.startrek.current (Usenet):

Or have the dying redshirt of the week say goodbye to his male friend instead of his girl. That's all it would take to establish that it's okay to be out of the closet in the Trekiverse.

2000 October 26, Arlie, “Re: What a f*cking insensitive comment!!! (minor spoilage)”, in alt.tv.star-trek.voyager (Usenet):

IIRC, the official explanation is currently that human history in the Trekiverse diverged from our history in the mid-20th century, due to the cumulative effect of multiple visitations from the future.

2001 September 24, Paul David John Andinach, “Re: [I] ST: Generations (was:Live broadcast / weather)”, in alt.fan.pratchett (Usenet):

sparklepire

From the bloated, purple-faced, shroud-wrapped corpse feared throughout Europe in the 18th century to the ‘sparklepire’ brought into vogue by Stephenie Meyer, the vampire as a concept has come a long way since its folkloric origins, and horror and paranormal romance authors have brought the entire concept to an interesting evolutionary point.

2009 August 16, Janet Neilson, “The Evolution of Vampire in Fiction”, in Hub Magazine, number 95, page 5:

This probably includes: talking donkeys, gods, flying dragons, garden fairies, vampires, sparklepires, ghosts, and Harry Potter.

Such a practice (which is autosonic, by the way) could be viewed as a “mega-editing” process; but I would like to draw a distinction between plunderphonics and edited versions, because the former clearly aim to denature the hypotext.

astral body

"I suppose I am not talking to you at all. You are in Thibet with Shere Ali. This is your astral body, and if I were near enough, I could poke my fingers right through you, as you sit there, telling me you are an Edinburgh doctor, forsooth."

I am not ready to ridicule the claim of the Yogi adepts, that they are able to project some kind of astral body, and to communicate with one another from distant places.

1917, Upton Sinclair, The Profits of Religion […] , book 6:

The voice in this case belongs to a lovely lady who has been most foully stabbed and while her body remains in a thug-infested old manse her astral body goes to ask Topper's assistance—probably the first instance on record in which the murdered victim was the first to inform the public.

dirtside

Many spacers hated leaving port – any port – and so spent as much time dirtside as possible. One evening, all three of these factors lined up in my favor.

Our new crewmembers were still dirtside as well, partying before shipping out.

Voldemort

After the evil wizard Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter series, coined by author J. K. Rowling as a compound of French vol de mort (“flight/theft from death”). The verb sense derives from the fact that in the story, many characters refuse to call Voldemort by his proper name, calling him by euphemisms such as "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" or "You-Know-Who". This may be due to Voldemort magically enforcing a ban on his name being spoken.
