conapt

Coined by Philip K. Dick from condominium + apartment.

The taxi let him off on the roof field of his conapt building; he descended by moving ramp and arrived at his own door.

I could sense there was no one else in the conapt.

The fact that she had begged him not to leave the conapt just now, expressing fear for his life with the Inquisitors at large, had likely contributed to those thoughts.

(science fiction) A condominium apartment.

2001 April 3, clarkal, “Re: DEADALIVE.... what a weak way to bring Mulder back (Spoilers)”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

I posted opinions in the hope that changes might have been made that might have brought back all the departed viewers (do you really think that all the viewers who defected were die-hard Duchovniks??) and allowed a truly groundbreaking show to continue.

superregeneration

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

It seems probable that this is a case of 'superregeneration'. As is well known, the tail of Plethodon is very easily detached. A study of the tissues of this tail gives evidence which, though not unquestionable, leads me to believe that it is relatively younger than the more anterior parts of the body. The experiments of Tornier ('97) and others in producing similar abnormalities by cutting off the tails of salamanders give added probability to this view.

1894, Tufts College, Tufts University, Tufts College Studies, Tufts College, Medford, The College, page 388:

At the time Bateson’s book was written, however, little or nothing was known regarding the origin of supernumera y appendages in either the arthropods or the vertebrates. Since then a large amount of experimental evidence has accumulated to show that they may be formed by superregeneration, especially by regeneration from complex or irregular wound surfaces.

1904, Ross Granville Harrison, William Keith Brooks, Wistar Institute of Anatomy and Biology, American Society of Zoologists, The Journal of Experimental Zoology, Wiley-Liss, page 94:

Functional disturbances of the brain might give us the explanation here, just as material disturbances may serve to explain superregeneration in spite of all vitalism.

1905, Charles Scribner’s Sons, The Approach to Philosophy, Harvard University Press, page 225:

Superregeneration. Includes eternal youth.

2012 January 29, “You choose a superability and I will find a fault in it”, in reddit.com:

(biology, rare) Extreme, superhuman regeneration.

red pill

From a scene in the film The Matrix (1999), where the main character, who lives in a virtual world known as the Matrix, is given a choice between a red pill that will allow him to learn the truth about the Matrix and a blue pill that will return him to his simulated life.

To take the red pill is to choose to take responsibility for our lives, both on the personal and larger social levels.

2003, Glenn Yeffeth, Taking the Red Pill, page 148:

Do you want to continue to live in the false world of dieting, where emotional pain is numbed, health risks are ignored, and false promises are made? Or do you want to take the red pill, as it were, and see the reality of a world in which food and eating don't dominate or take over your life?

2011, Stephen Arterburn, Linda Mintle, Lose It for Life: The Total Solution, →ISBN, page 49:

We can offer ourselves the option of taking the red pill and, when the circumstances are right, we shall not be able to resist the lure of the naked truth; however hard it may be to stare it in the face.

2012, Yanis Varoufakis, Joseph Halevi, Nicholas Theocarakis, Modern Political Economics: Making Sense of the Post-2008 World, →ISBN:

Until the media and economy are democratically structured and regulated, the best people can do is take the red pill -- that is, utilize the alternative media for information and thereby purge their neurological systems of large misleading segments of their past education and the mainstream popular media.

2013, John C Alessio, Social Problems and Inequality, →ISBN:

As you choke down the red pill, we will begin to expound on that eternally important question that few people have bothered to ask, save once, likely around the tender age of four [...] the eternally important question, "What is money?"

2013, David Mint, What is Money? A Quest to Answer the Question of the Ages:

(informal) Something that enables or compels a person to overcome illusion and perceive harsher reality.

Most red pill thinkers will have already debunked this one and replaced it with a better story.

2017, Peter Wright, Red Pill Psychology: Psychology for men in a gynocentric world:

With the growth of 'the red pill' and similar such groups among men there is a growing realisation that life is very different in dating for 'alpha males' compared to everyone else.

2017, Player Mastermind, Gold Diggers and Sugar Daddies: The Red Pill Guide to Hypergamy:

The problems faced by men in America—the problems the Red Pill community points to as proof that we live in a gynocentric society—have deep historical roots; however, the Red Pill represents a new, dangerous phase of American masculinity in the internet age.

2018, Donna Zuckerberg, Not All Dead White Men: Classics and Misogyny in the Digital Age:

Indeed, this is the surprising core of the whole Red Pill theory of seduction: never stop begging for it.

If you are attracted to the truths presented in Red Pill culture, but are put off by any morality or atheism present, this book is for you.

2019, James a Deprisco, The Catholic Red Pill: A Guide for Men:

(slang, by extension) The subculture of men who share a belief in the gynocentrism of modern society; manosphere.

Used other than figuratively or idiomatically: see red, pill.

chernukha

From Russian черну́ха (černúxa), from чёрный (čórnyj, “black”).

Though the USA came in for severe criticism, it was admitted that at least the Americans had perfected a form for the horror film. The Russians were unsure of genres. One speaker made the helpful observation that we should distinguish between home-grown 'chernukha' and foreign 'chernukha'.

It should be emphasized that, although Petrushevskaia's subject matter is weighty, serious, often horrific, her texts abundant in image of loss, death, and difficult love, and her awareness of social problems acute, her style is the factor that raises her work above other practitioners of 'chernukha'.

2000, Sally Dalton-Brown, Voices from the Void: The Genres of Liudmila Petrushevskaia:

Purveyors of screen chernukha, caught up in the late- and post-Soviet 'pathos of pure negation', threw out several perfectly useful babies with the Bolshevik-tainted bathwater, including: (1) narrative coherency, rejected by virtue of its association with Soviet film and perhaps also because it smacked of teleology […]

2008, S. Hutchings, Russia and its Other(s) on Film: Screening Intercultural Dialogue:

There are welcome flashes of humor throughout, particularly the dark, sardonic strain that Russians call chernukha. Watching his hapless father speak about his passion project — a homemade space capsule to be used in the event of a nuclear war — Alexei remarks that “his cheeks remained red with excitement and dermatitis.”

Matrix defense

From the plot of the film The Matrix (1999), whose protagonist is woken from an illusionary simulated world into the dystopian reality.

There is now a legal strategy called the "Matrix defense," which has been an effective form of insanity defense. The film evidently had a part in inspiring Lee Malvo, the Washington D.C. sniper, and it has been mentioned in connection with the Columbine High School killings, which happened less than a month after the release of The Matrix.

2012, C. Stephen Jaeger, Enchantment: On Charisma and the Sublime in the Arts of the West, University of Pennsylvania Press, →ISBN, page 41:

(US, law) A legal defense in which the defendant claims to have committed a crime in the belief that he/she was not in the real world, but in a simulated reality.

Like when Aragorn starts on the paths of the dead bookwise he and his Dunedain are regarded, despite their small size, among the most powerful companies in the area. And then with the dead, he defeats armies in southern Gondor _and_ rallies those people to fight at his command, showing his ability as a king. When he gets to Minas Tirith he is leading an army as great as Rohan instead of a handful and a ship of vapours that would have been laughed at by orcs and ringwraiths.

man in black

Coordinate term: black helicopter

Ever since the cessation of activity by Albert Bender in 1954, and followed closely by a few others, whose disappear[a]nce though less spectacular, from this field of work, caused a stir among the then active workers; the words he used in reference to his case "that he had been visited by three men in black, who demanded that he cease his investigations" left many to conjecture as to who they were, and what was their reason and who they represented.

1958, The Australian Saucer Record, volume 4, number 4, page 1:

Often they arrive at the scene of a UFO landing before those involves have had a chance to tell their story to the authorities, indicating that these Men-in-Black can read – as well as CONTROL – minds.

1991 March 26, John A. Keel, “Who are the UFO silencers?”, in Weekly World News, volume 12, number 25, page 8:

In many UFO sightings in which evidence of the sighting is claimed to exist, government "men in black" are reported to appear at the witnesses' doors demanding the evidence and threatening witnesses in the event they divulge any information regarding their sighting.

1995, James L. Thompson, Alien encounters: the deception menace, Cedar Fort, page 52:

Stories of “men-in-black,” who confront those who have witnessed a UFO with the intention of persuading them to keep their knowledge of space creatures a secret, are also amenable to folkloristic analysis.

1995, John A. Saliba, “UFO Contactee Phenomena from a Sociopsychological Perspective: A Review”, in The Gods have landed: new religions from other worlds, SUNY Press, page 218:

(ufology) A covert government operative, wearing a black suit and black aviator sunglasses, believed by conspiracy theorists to cover up UFO incidents.

imaginative fiction

Particular professors and sober Scotchmen may denounce as childish the desire for imaginative fiction.

1914 March 7, Howard Phillips Lovecraft, All-Story Weekly, Letters:

The questions of whether Esperanto has any place in the science fiction field and whether there is any justification for the modification of the English language for the convenience of the imaginative fiction reader, seem both to be issues on which there can be little in the way of a compromise.

A Journal for Readers, Writers and Collectors of Imaginative Fiction

timequake

Or you can have a revisable universe with one timeline (see Hogan's Thrice Upon a Time or Milennium^([sic]) by (I think) Joe Haldeman for the general idea) and in which your actions can "rewrite" the past from that point on. Here, if you shoot your grandfather, you generate a "timequake" in which something ugly happens. Probably you disappear, but there may be other side-effects as the universe works it out, which is, I think, what you are reffering^([sic]) to as the "great expense".

1996 November 16, Mike Abernathy, “Re: faster than light travel”, in sci.physics.electromag (Usenet), message-ID <56la8t$5@sjx-ixn2.ix.netcom.com>:

These little cars are called people pods. Each one has seats for two to four people. To ride in a people pod, you first buy a ticket from a computer.
