WAFF

en-noun

WAFF (countable and uncountable, plural WAFFs)

Acronym of warm and fuzzy feeling(s). Reportedly coined by fans of the television series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (1993-1997). First attested on alt.tv.lois-n-clark as part of a fandom glossary in January 1996.

Why wait until the series is close to an end to change their relationship, leaving fans with a feeling of having been cheated of great WAFFs (Warm And Fuzzy Feelings)?

1996 January 7, Nancy Lemieux, “Re: The girlfriend/boyfriend thing”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

Sharon remembers the WAFFs, the romance, the cuddling, the tender bits, the honesty and openness between our heroes and gives the episode an A+.

1996 March 18, Colonel X, “Re: Camping With Clark”, in alt.tv.lois-n-clark (Usenet):

I did love Dad Kent's response to her, beginning with "Dearest Lois, a love... [I've forgotten the rest, but it was a major WAFF for me :-)]

1996 May 14, Polly Robinson, “Re: Clark's disappearance”, in alt.tv.lois-n-clark (Usenet):

(countable, fandom slang) A warm and fuzzy feeling, especially in relation to a ship.

Any idiot would have to know that 99% of the fans expect the relationship to progress, but Singer's answer just doesn't give fans that WAFF that they may need after feeling so betrayed by the current arc.

1996 March 6, KalElFan, “Damage Control at TPTB Central”, in alt.tv.lois-n-clark (Usenet):

Well, I can now see why ABC did not hop on the boards here to try and quell the disquiet the 'wedding' arc caused. A) because there is no wedding in the arc, and B) The episode isn't quite the WAFF one might expect.

1996 March 16, Zoomway, “Updated Spoilers on OW”, in alt.tv.lois-n-clark (Usenet):

It's a pity that this term isn't used on atxc, as I'd describe this as a lovely slice of Moose & Squirrel WAFF (stands for warm-and-fuzzy-feelings).

1999 July 14, Harper, “Re: xfc NEW: When God Dreams, 3 of 3. by Snark, rated PG”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

(uncountable, fandom slang) Such feelings collectively.

scream queen

Her [Janet Leigh's] "scream queen" status also led to cameo roles in Jamie Lee Curtis' 1998 horror sequel Halloween H20: 20 Years Later and A Fate Totally Worse than Death in 2000.

2004 October 4, “Psycho actress Janet Leigh dies”, in BBC News, archived from the original on 2016-08-02:

What makes a good scream queen? Lloyd Kaufman, whose Troma Films has distributed more than 1,000 horror films since the mid-'70s, says, "It's more than just crying and having ketchup thrown on you. You not only have to be attractive, but you also have to have a big brain. You have to be frightened, you have to be sad, you have to be romantic."

2007 April 27, Thomas K. Arnold, “Three screams for these stars”, in USA Today, archived from the original on 2016-03-04:

In short order, Friday the 13th (the first widely distributed major studio slasher flick), Terror Train and Prom Night – the latter two starring uber-scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis […]– led the charge into cinemas. With the formula nailed down – masked killer stalks and slays teenagers on a particular holiday or special event – everyone and their cousin could assemble their own cheapie horror flick and as a result, quality slumped as quantity multiplied.

2017 May 11, Peter Schorn, “Going To Pieces: The Rise and Fall of the Slasher Film: The slasher film dissected in this documentary retrospective [review]”, in IGN, archived from the original on 2016-09-15:

Confessions of a Scream Queen by Matt Beckoff (BearManor Media) is a series of interviews with actresses associated with horror films (using a very loose definition of the term "scream queen").

2011, “Nonfiction Books”, in Ellen Datlow, editor, The Best Horror of the Year, volume III, San Francisco, Calif.: Night Shade Books, →ISBN:

In this unique gallery of “Scream Queens,” you'll discover sixteen actresses who starred in bloodcurdling movies and TV shows […] The original Scream Queens were actresses in precarious, life-threatening situations—exemplified by the scene in King Kong in which the monstrous Kong "holds" [Fay] Wray in his hand while terrorizing Manhattan.

der

There was an ominous tendency among people who considered themselves "upper class" to dismiss the art he practiced as well as all the other elements of Dweomercraft. It was frightening.

As he always did when confronted by his old teacher in dweomercraft, Salamander felt profoundly guilty, even though this time he'd done nothing wrong.

It used to be known for dweomercraft, the craft of healers, magicians, those who know spells, those who know the sourcery of words.

cybersuit

The notion of a second skin may still be more seductive in the imagining than the reality, but on the utopian side of the Blade Runner there is the prospect of cybersuits, made possible by petrochemical fabrics.

1999, Herbert Blau, Nothing in itself: complexions of fashion, page 268:

Just as these suits make cybersex possible, they let the physician poke and feel, using cybergloves on one end and the patient's cybersuit responding on the other.

2002, Douglas Mulhall, Our molecular future:

He was looking at a small flexible screen wrapped halfway around his forearm, meshed into the fabric of his cybersuit.

My fathers and mothers tell that we have been moving to antispinward since they were little. They remember that they had to go around a great sea, but they did not come too close, because the beasts would not eat the plants that grow around the shore.

1978, Galileo: Magazine of Science & Fiction, Boston, Mass.: Avenue Victor Hugo Publishers, page 77:

Laura imagined that he would expect them to flee along the beams, and she watched his narrow face searching the impenetrable shadows antispinward of where they hid.

1985, Nancy Kress, Trinity and Other Stories, New York, N.Y.: Bluejay Books, →ISBN, page 214:

What in the world?" / "Moving in the same direction as the Station's direction of spin is considered spinward. Moving in the direction opposite the spin is considered anti-spinward. You sound like a boy asking what one does with his hands when the rollercoaster car leaves the track."

peryton

Coined by the translator Norman Thomas di Giovanni translating Jorge Luis Borges' Book of Imaginary Beings, from Borges' invented Spanish peritio. Astrophysical use began with a paper by S. Burke-Spolaor et al. (see quotations).

Despite a trend mimicking that expected from dispersion, such deviations decisively distinguish the pulses’ frequency-dependence from a delay induced by interstellar propagation. Hereafter we distinguish these detections with the name “Perytons,” representing the non-dispersive, highly swept, terrestrial signals exhibited by the pulses. (The name is chosen from mythology to be unassociated with an exact physical phenomenon, due to the ambiguous origin of the detections; Perytons are winged elk that cast the shadow of a man.)

2011 January 20, S. Burke-Spolaor et al., “Radio Bursts with Extragalactic Spectral Characteristics Show Terrestrial Origins”, in The Astrophysical Journal, volume 727, number 1:

Three of these FRBs are factors of >3 narrower than any documented peryton.

2013 July 5, D. Thornton et al., “A Population of Fast Radio Bursts at Cosmological Distances”, in Science, volume 341, number 6141, pages 53–56:

In this model, the Lorimer burst, which was detected in three adjacent beams of the multibeam receiver, occupies a place between traditional FRB events and traditional peryton events and is believed to have occurred at some distance from the detector close to the Fresnel scale for Parkes, 20 km.

2014 June 10, E. Petrov et al., “An Absence of Fast Radio Bursts at Intermediate Galactic Latitudes”, in Astrophysics Journal Letters, volume 789, number 2:

(astronomy) A radio signal which appears to come from outside the galaxy but is actually produced by terrestrial sources.

charanga

Going to hear charanga, the Afro-Cuban music that uses strings, flute and a standard rhythm section, is a bit like going to see a rare ibex in a zoo: it's a wonder that it exists at all, and its existence can color one's perception of its value.

1995 February 22, Peter Watrous, “In Performance”, in The New York Times, →ISSN:

The album includes plenty of songs about love and dancing that draw on vintage and recent Cuban music, from the lilting son to the elegant flute and violins of charanga to percussive rumba and mambo.

(science fiction, fantasy) One who farspeaks.

Ecgbert picked up the farspeaker eagerly. "Frideswide darling! I have been wating to hear from you all the morning. […] "

1948, New Statesman: the week-end review

1984, John Brunner, The Crucible of Time:

“Sir, we found him in the farspeaker room,” said one of the guards. “He was tampering with the equipment."

2009, Nick Gevers, Jay Lake, Other Earths:

She held it out toward him. It was the size of a chicken egg, only broken in half. The other half of the crystal—carried by another—would vibrate in tune with its twin, allowing communication, like a walkie-talkie. “A farspeaker! Pindor gasped out. "Why didn't you tell us you had one!" "I did. Back when I first ran into you all," she reminded them. "I had been calling Papa on my farspeaker when I was snatched here."

2011, James Rollins, Jake Ransom and the Howling Sphinx:

I imagine I'd be seeing a lot of metal tonight, so why not go for an obscure eighties punk song? Plus, Hüsker Dü = dual röck döts!

Werewolfdom is caused by a virus, somewhat like rabies, which liberates an atavistic part of the brain that human beings have lost.

2001 July 12, Caffeine Cal, “Re: *Nasty* Doggett-Haters Website :(”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

It's a bit sad when snoggers write in to the IMDB to pass on the false information that DD has "filed for divorce" from TL: […]

2002 August 27, pam, “Re: Doggett to come back to Fox”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

While I'm not a snogger (don't look at me like that!), I do think, from what little I know of them, that David and Gillian had a kind of working relationship that in some weird cosmic way must have reflected what we saw on the screen between them.

2005 June 17, Robert Cook, “Re: Speaking of "Lost"”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

Popeye 3 is an out-and-out joystick waggler. While Zeppelin's Tag Team Wrestling used the old 'press fire with a direction' control method, to beat your opponent in Popeye 3, you have two stages of frenetic wrist-mangling.

1992, Jon Pillar, Popeye III (game review) in Your Sinclair 83, November 1992

It's not an exact simulation and it's not a joystick waggler. It is basically CM2 for cricket.

1998, Mike Fairweather, “International cricket captain, opinions wanted”, in comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.sports (Usenet):

Could be wrong but I'm sure T&F and several of the other give-the-controls-a-good-twatting games were actually button bashers rather than joystick wagglers. Bit picky I know.....

2003, Nomenluni, “What Speccy game should have been in the arcade?”, in comp.sys.sinclair (Usenet):

Learned borrowing from Old Norse vargr (“wolf”), reintroduced by J. R. R. Tolkien; compare also Old English wearg.

lbor

But even the wild Wargs (for so the evil wolves over the Edge of the Wild were named) cannot climb trees. […] Every now and then all the Wargs in the circle would answer their grey chief all together, and their dreadful clamour almost made the hobbit fall out of his pine-tree.

1937 September 21, J[ohn] R[onald] R[euel] Tolkien, “Out of the Frying-pan into the Fire”, in The Hobbit: Or There and Back Again, revised edition, New York, N.Y.: Ballantine Books, published February 1966 (August 1967 printing), →OCLC, page 105:

My question is do all of the executable versions for PC compatibles have the color option enabled? If so, what am I missing to not get say yellow for a hill orc, grey for a goblin, white for my pet, red for a wolf, brown for a warg, etc?

1993, jbatka, “Multiple colors for PC compatible”, in rec.hack (Usenet):

He'd bought a ton of silver to forge magic swords that would slay the Stark wargs.

1999, George R. R. Martin, A Clash of Kings, Bantam, published 2011, page 462:

The monsters are identified not as trolls, a word apparently not available in English at the time, but (among other things) as wargs, whatever that means; Grendel is called a heoro-wearh at line 1267 and his mother a grund-wyrgen at line 1518.

A) “One of them was a wereleopard; the other was a werewolf; both of them were strippers.”

2008 June 22, Dwight Garner, “Inside the List”, in New York Times:

While there'd been whispers about the Pack being unhappy with me for entangling myself with a wereleopard, Caitlyn wasn't just a wereleopard to me. She was my mate. A wolf didn't choose those kinds of things.

Among the eras have been Louis Quatorze (1967), Space Odyssey Moderne (2001) and perpetual futuristic spins on picture-palace Deco, including last year’s show, hosted by Jon Stewart, in which towering Oscars were encased in see-through capsules, resembling the orgasmatron in Woody Allen’s 1973 film “Sleeper.”
