[ˈkʰʏɐ̯tsn̩]


There are two primary theories of the origin of the question mark. One is that ⟨?⟩ descends from the punctus interrogativus ⟨⹔⟩, which instructed the reader (or singer) to raise the pitch of their voice while coming to a stop.
Another theory is that it derives from overset Qo, an abbreviation of Latin quaestiō (“question”), placed at the end of a question to mark it as such, and analogous to the derivation of ⟨!⟩.
There are no documented intermediary forms to support one theory over the other.

For the reversed question mark used in some right-to-left scripts

Character #1: "I have no time to explain! Have you seen a Big Bad Wolf blowing down various houses?"

Character #2: "?"

(comics, Internet slang) Used by itself to convey that the speaker is confused.


zine

Shortened from fanzine, ultimately from magazine; from 1965.

Zines contributed to an evolving critical language that would ultimately take two paths: into the gut or to the academy. The most compelling zines fused the two.

2005, Kim Cooper, “Mimeos and Cut-Out Bins”, in David Smay, editor, Lost in the Grooves: Scram’s Capricious Guide to the Music You Missed, Routledge, →ISBN:

The feminist zine community is not located in place but it geographically dispersed, constituting a connected flow of communicative practices, spaces, texts, technologies, bodies, and utterances.

2008, Samantha Holland, Remote Relationships in a Small World, Peter Lang, →ISBN, page 21:

I conducted a content analysis of the zines I collected by using techniques of thematic analysis (Patton, 1990). I read and reread each of the zines’ contents. I annotated the prose, cartoons, poetry, and narratives in the zines by noting key words that signaled topics and assigning codes and subcodes that were later collapsed to form categories.

2013, Barbara J. Guzzetti, Thomas W. Bean, Adolescent Literacies and the Gendered Self: (Re)Constructing Identities through Multimodal Literacy Practices, Routledge, →ISBN, page 58:

“Do you think Cal Bodian's over there? Do you think he'll sign my zine?” “♪♪ Bum, bada-dum. ♪♪ My P.I. Undercover fanzine. I've done everything myself. I just took a guess about the chest hair.”

2024 November 25, Max Brockman, “P.I. Undercover: New York” (5:35 from the start), in What We Do in the Shadows, season 6, episode 8, spoken by Guillermo de la Cruz (Harvey Guillén):

A low-circulation, non-commercial publication of original or appropriated texts and images, especially one of minority interest.

abibliophobia

Professor David Latchman, the Master of Birkbeck College, suffers from abibliophobia, a common affliction amongst book collectors that manifests itself as a morbid fear of running out of reading material.

Speaking of frightful words, a curious fear I've suffered from on occasion, especially on long airplane flights, is abibliophobia, the fear of not having enough to read.

2010, Phil Cousineau, Wordcatcher: An Odyssey into the World of Weird and Wonderful Words, Viva Editions, →ISBN, page 17:

The outdoor racks, maintained on an honor system, are open 24 hours a day, for those who suffer from abibliophobia—fear of lacking for reading material.

2012, Laura M. Reckford, Frommer's Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, John Wiley & Sons, →ISBN, page 110:

steampunk

en-noun

steampunk (countable and uncountable, plural steampunks)

From steam + -punk, by analogy with cyberpunk, coined by science-fiction writer Kevin Wayne Jeter (born 1950) in a 1987 letter to the magazine Locus in response to a review of his book Infernal Devices published the same year (see the quotation below).

Black Rock Desert
Burning Man
Greenbelt, Maryland
Nevada

There's railroad trains, a lot of steam-driven stuff, but that's about it. More ‘steam punk’, I suppose.

1987 May, James Blaylock, Locus, volume 20, number 5 (#316 overall), page 57:

It is also the vision of steampunk, a subculture that is the aesthetic expression of a time-traveling fantasy world, one that embraces music, film, design and now fashion, all inspired by the extravagantly inventive age of dirigibles and steam locomotives, brass diving bells and jar-shaped protosubmarines.

2008 May 8, Ruth La Ferla, “Steampunk moves between 2 worlds”, in The New York Times:

The [Arboath North Signal Box] locking room's collection of chains, pulleys and wires resembles the inside of a piano, stretching to the 72-levered frame above. Lovers of steampunk will find it especially pleasing.

2021 November 3, Dr Joseph Brennan, “Boxes with functions across the centuries”, in RAIL, number 943, page 57:

(uncountable) A subgenre of science fiction that depicts advanced technology combined with Victorian style and aesthetics, such as steam-powered machines and vehicles, visible gears and screws and people dressed in 19th-century attires.

synaesthesia

en-noun

synaesthesia (countable and uncountable, plural synaesthesiae or synaesthesias)

synaesthesiae (plural)
synaesthesias (plural)
synæsthesia (alternative)
synesthesia (alternative)

/ˌsɪn.ɪsˈθiː.ʒə/

From Ancient Greek σύν (sún, “with”) + αἴσθησις (aísthēsis, “sensation”), modelled after anaesthesia. It is analysable as syn- + -aesthesia.

Linking moods with colours is one example of synaesthesia. […] As a tool for improving writing, the idea of synaesthesia is versatile and innovative. Why use only visual references to describe visual impressions? Why just describe sounds using sound-related words? Play with cross-matching the senses.

2006, Stephen Bowkett, “Descriptive Writing”, in Boys and Writing (Pocket PAL), London: Network Continuum Education, Continuum International Publishing Group, →ISBN, page 38:

[I]t may be stated that the concept of synaesthesia is instrumental for understanding music videos, since videos are based on the soundtrack's visual associations. Yet to discuss associations here may cause some problems. […] [Nicholas Cook] seems to be relying on a rather normative conception of synaesthesia, which for its part supports the idea of absolute, nonrepresentational music. The implication of his discussion is that the "true" forms of music–image synaesthesia come only in the forms of perception of color or light when hearing a certain musical sound.

2007, Antti-Ville Kärjä, “Visions of a Sound Nation: Finnish Music Videos and Secured Otherness”, in Roger Beebe, Jason Middleton, editors, Medium Cool: Music Videos from Soundies to Cellphones, Durham, N.C., London: Duke University Press, →ISBN, page 181:

(art, literature) A literary or artistic device whereby one kind of sensation is described in the terms of another.

Capulet

Surname of the heroine Juliet's family in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, from the Italian Capuleti.

It goes without saying that she knew nothing whatever of the bad relations subsisting between her father and her sweetheart. She did not know her Romeo was a Montague still less that to him she was a Capulet.

1913, Annabella Bruce Marchand, Dirk, a South African, page 198:

Still, despite Marshall's impression of a kind of Montague-Capulet feud, George Catlett did succeed in marrying Laura Emily, the daughter of Dr. Jonathan Bradford, and his sister, Margaret, married Laura's brother, Thomas.

1963, Forrest C. Pogue, George C. Marshall: Education of a general, 1880-1939, page 8:

She playfully called herself a tragedienne, much like Juliet Capulet, and she thought of Timmy as her Romeo Montague.

2004, Scott Casper, Cardinal Sin: Tales of Alaska, War, and More, page 161:

That said, Capulet's skepticism has a sound rationale. She needs only one kind of thing, caloric fluid, to explain the movement and behavior of heat. Montague has posited two kinds of things, heat itself and heat radiation, each popping up to do the job it is good for and then conveniently metamorphosing into the other when that's what's needed instead.

2020, Michael Strevens, The Knowledge Machine:

Romeo and Juliet couple
Romeo and Juliet couple

(figuratively) A member or citizen of the family, party, or country of the wife in a Romeo and Juliet couple and/or one of a pair of feuding groups, the other identified as Montague.


Montague

en-proper noun

fluff

en-noun

fluff (countable and uncountable, plural fluffs)

From earlier floow (“woolly substance, down, nap, lint”), also spelt flough, flue, and flew, from West Flemish vluwe,
of uncertain ultimate origin:
* Compare Old English flōh (“that which is flown off, fragment, piece”) - see flaw
* Possibly representing a blend of flue + puff; compare Middle Dutch vloe, or perhaps onomatopoeic; compare dialectal English floose, flooze, fleeze (“particles of wool or cotton; fluff; loose threads or fibres”), Danish fnug (“down, fluff”), Swedish fnugg (“speck, flake”).
* Alternatively, West Flemish vluwe may derive from French velu (“hairy, furry”), from Latin villūtus (“having shaggy hair”), from villus (“shaggy hair, tuft of hair”).
For words of similar sound and meaning in other languages, compare Japanese フワフワ (fuwafuwa, “lightly, softly”), Hungarian puha (“soft, fluffy”), Polish puchaty (“soft, fluffy”),Romanian puf (“down, peachfuzz, soft hair of some animals, powderpuff”).

onomatopoeic

onomatopoeic

cog

And when something triggers, I can close the window and go read fluff for hours until I calm down.

2011, anonymous, quoted in Katherine Larsen & Lynn Zubernis, Fandom at the Crossroads: Celebration, Shame and Fan/producer Relationships, page 138

Fans prefer fluff to other types of fic. But angst (dramatic stories where characters have a wide range of emotions, including...angsty ones) comes in close second.

2017, "Flourish Kink", quoted in Ashley J. Barner, The Case for Fanfiction: Exploring the Pleasures and Practices of a Maligned Craft, page 67

Ah, fluff. My happy place. These fics are dedicated to feel-good feelings, which are the very best type of feelings.

2017, Carrie DiRisio, Brooding YA Hero: Becoming a Main Character (Almost) as Awesome as Me, unnumbered page:

(fandom slang) Fan fiction, or part of a fan fiction, which is sweet and feel-good in tone, usually involving romance.

elemental

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

From Middle English elementall, from Medieval Latin elementālis; compare Old French elementel. By surface analysis, element + -al.

Those who have escaped the dark and terrible aspects of life will find my brutality, my flash of rage in our final tragedy, easy enough to blame; for they know what is wrong as well as any, but not what is possible to tortured men. But those who have been under the shadow, who have gone down at last to elemental things, will have a wider charity.

1898, H.G. Wells, The War of the Worlds, London: William Heinemann, page 219:

The pervasive emptiness and stultifying summer heat were only minor deterrents when compared with the more elemental consideration that all the banking and commercial institutions were based elsewhere, chiefly in Philadelphia and New York.

By embracing dark genres of slash such as ‘squick’ and ‘whump’, the art of mythagowood purposely skirts parameters of taste and acceptability.

2014, Joseph Brennan, “'Fandom is full of pearl clutching old ladies': Nonnies in the online slash closet”, in International Journal of Cultural Studies, volume 17, number 4, page 365:

Narrative devices shared by Hannibal and fanfiction include “whump,” the vivid abuse and torture of a character, a popular convention across certain types of fanfiction: Graham is knocked out, shot, stabbed, gutted, sawed open, and subjected to induced seizures.

2018, Naja Later, “Quality Television (TV) Eats Itself: The TV-Auteur and the Promoted Fanboy”, in Quarterly Review of Film and Video, volume 35, number 6, page 540:

However, further research with a larger sample and encompassing more fandoms would be necessary to confirm this potential explanation of this trend and to explore the impact of other factors, such as assigning characters a physical and/or mental disability or illness for the purpose of whump or hurt/comfort stories.

2019 April, Adrienne E. Raw, “Normalizing Disability: Tagging and Disability Identity Construction through Marvel Cinematic Universe Fanfiction”, in Canadian Journal of Disability Studies, volume 8, number 2, pages 202–203:

The English word is analysable as gazette + -eer.
The verb is derived from the noun.

endian

From end + -ian (suffix meaning ‘one from, belonging to, like, or relating to’ forming nouns, and meaning ‘from, like, or related to’ forming adjectives), originally in the noun Big-Endian coined by the Anglo-Irish author Jonathan Swift (1667–1745) in his novel Gulliver’s Travels (1726). Swift wrote of an emperor of Lilliput who, after his son cuts his finger when opening an egg at the large end, commands his subjects to open them at the small end; those who rebel by opening their eggs at the large end are called “Big-Endians”.
The term was applied in the computing context by the Israeli-American computer scientist Danny Cohen (1937–2019) in 1980.

endian-neutral code

In Ken Turkowski's article on the big and little endian addressing used on the 68020 he commented that Motorola's approach "proved" that a machine with consistant^([sic]) bit addressing (e.g., all little or big endian) was impossible. I assume that he was joking.

1984 August 25, Ian Kaplan, “Inconsistent bit addressing in the 68020: big- AND little-endian”, in net.micro.68k (Usenet):

most significant byte

(computing) Preceded by a qualifying word: of a computer: storing multibyte numbers with the most significant byte at a particular memory address; for example, at the smallest address (big-endian) or the largest address (little-endian).

Jakmile jsem si vytvořil tento vztah ke zvuku, jazyku a námětu, okamžitě jsem viděl – lépe řečeno, okamžitě jsem slyšel –, že anapest nemusí pokaždé skončit jako monotónní, ucouraná, vlezlá odrhovačka na způsob básní Edgara Allana Poea, Roberta Service, Kiplinga a dalších.

2007, James Dickey, “Básník jde do sebe”, in Revolver revue, volumes 67–68, page 125:

I saw at once—or rather I heard at once—when I began to have this kind of relationship to sound, language and subject, that the anapest needn't result in the monotonous, slugging, obtrusive singsong that it has in the poems of Edgar Allan Poe, Robert Service, Kipling, and others.

helluo librorum

en-noun

helluo librorum (plural helluones librorum)

/ˌhɛljʊəʊ lɪˈbɹɔːɹəm/

/ˌhɛljʊˈəʊniːz lɪˈbɹɔːɹəm/

Learned borrowing from Late Latin helluō librōrum (“glutton of books”), from Latin helluō (“glutton; squanderer”) + librōrum (“of books”). Helluō is derived from helluārī + -ō (suffix forming masculine agent nouns, nicknames, and other designations); helluārī is the present active infinitive of helluor (“to be a glutton, gormandize”), further etymology unknown. Librōrum is the genitive plural form of liber (“book; inner bark of a tree”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *lewbʰ- (“to cut off, peel”)).
The plural form is also borrowed from Late Latin helluōnēs librōrum.

The Helluo Librorum, or Glutton of Books, was a character well known at the university, and mentioned by the ancients; but I believe their idea is far exceeded by many a fair subscriber at the circulating library. I have known a lady read twenty volumes in a week during two or three months successively.

And, even physically considered, knowledge breeds knowledge, as gold gold; for he who reads really much, finds his capacity to read increase in geometrical ratio.
