Phonetic borrowing from Sanskrit महाभारत (mahābhārata), from महा (mahā) + भारत (bhārata). Although a full translation appeared much later, the title itself was mentioned in Chinese as late as in the early 20th century, for example, in the novel The Lone Swan (《斷鴻零雁記》) by Su Manshu [1912]. Variant forms existed, such as 摩訶波羅多 used by Lu Xun [1907]. The Chinese characters chosen for their phonetic values were influenced by the phonetics and conventions of Middle Chinese, into which a substantial corpus of Indic-language works were translated, where it would have be reconstructed as 摩訶婆羅多 (MC ma xa ba la ta).

Voldemort

After the evil wizard Lord Voldemort in Harry Potter, coined by author J. K. Rowling as a compound of French vol de mort (“flight/theft from death”). Voldemort's birth name is Tom Marvolo Riddle; an anagram of it is "I am Lord Voldemort". The verb sense comes from the fact that in the story, many characters refuse to call Voldemort by his proper name, calling him euphemisms such as "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" or "You-Know-Who". Also, Voldemort puts a spell on his own name that alerts him when others speak it.

uberfic

Kate Bolin cited the mellow, friendly, castrated Spike; another example would be the alternate universes which are popping up with increasing frequency these days: you know, the kind of almost-but-not-quite-uberfic where everything's so different from the show that the author has to literally reconceptualize about half the characters to get them all in so everyone up to and including Jonathan will have somebody to exchange bodily fluids with.

1999 June 21, David Hines, “Re: Hmm...Willow and Angel?”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet):

On a related topic, it occurred to me t'other day to wonder whether there was in fact any Uberfic in existence before "The Xena Scrolls".

1999 June 24, damaged justice [username], “First known Uberfic sighting? (was Re: Season 2 Review: "The Xena Scrolls")”, in alt.tv.xena (Usenet):

There are a few genres where you can get away with it (Xena/Gabrielle uberfic, for example -- S.X. Meagher's I Found My Heart In San Francisco series was repubished^([sic]) in a slightly different form; […]

2003 October 19, Shalon Wood, “Re: {ASSD} Hijacked! I feel like one of the gang now.”, in alt.sex.stories.d (Usenet):

(fandom slang) A genre of alternate universe fan fiction which features archetypes of canon characters (including ancestors, descendants, and reincarnations) living in a different time, setting, or reality than that found in canon.

Arca de Noé

(biblical) Noah's ark (the vessel built by Noah under God’s instructions, as described in Genesis)


manfiction

He sang the praises of Elmore Leonard, Chabon, Malamud and a host of tough-guy “manfiction” novelists, to use his affectionately satirical term.

2007 March 18, Ben Neihart, “Prince of Darkness”, in The New York Times:

And current manfiction certainly gives women a better deal than they got in the pulps of yesteryear, when most were presented as barracuda debs in frilly negligees.

2008 October 12, Stephen King, “Who Says Real Men Don't Read?”, in Entertainment Weekly:

A professed affinity for Manfiction was a central tenet of this precarious Cool Girl identity; a Cool Girl was always ready to support the literary analysis presented by the dudes, even after consuming a fifth of bourbon at three in the morning.

2010, Amanda Hess (quoting Tiger Beatdown), "The Morning After: Manfiction and Mandles Edition", Washington City Paper, 1 June 2010

(informal) Literary fiction which appeals to, or is marketed toward, men, typically written by male authors and centering on male characters.


dick lit

dick (“penis”) + lit (“literature”), as a play on chick lit.

"I am really tired of reading about sad women and bad sex, especially in laddish terms - all that dick-lit stuff," she says dismissively.

2002 October 13, Jackie McGlone, “To hold but not to have”, in Scotland on Sunday:

She knew that he read books. Okay, so it was that trendy kind of real-life adventure-tragedy-on-Everest-in-Antarctica-in-Krakatoa-with-sharks-with-fire stuff. Sure, it was Dick Lit (a term Nina had coined in response to Chick Lit), but they were books, for god's sake, and not just the sports or business pages that many men considered "reading."

2004, Leslie Schur, The Dog Walker, Atria Books, →ISBN:

Peter Cameron's Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You has been touted as the current generation's Catcher in the Rye (both the Chbosky and Cameron titles provide teen dick lit alternatives to the many adolescent chick lit offerings).

2009, Malina Saval, The Secret Lives of Boys: Inside the Raw Emotional World of Male Teens, Basic Books, →ISBN:

(informal, vulgar) Literature which appeals to, or is marketed toward, male readers.

After last week's first episode we are all most definitely Sherlocked, and can't wait for tonight's take on the seminal sleuth's most infamous case, The Hound Of The Baskervilles.

Wit and technical wizardry aside, the new series should draw a large audience because Sherlocked fans everywhere want to know how their hero faked his own death.

2014 January 16, Addison Engelking, “Watching The Detective”, in Memphis Flyer:

To to all of the Sherlocked fans, the new series will be coming back in 2016, […]

(fandom slang) Addicted to the television series Sherlock.


Desdemona

Coined based on Ancient Greek δυσ- (dus-) + δαίμων (daímōn), hence "ill-fated, unfortunate".

As I looked out of the corner of my eye at this savagely picturesque fellow, wondering where was his Desdemona, a dainty and remarkably pretty piece of femininity entered the car, advanced to our table and sat herself beside Othello.

1919, Lee Meriwether, The War Diary of a Diplomat:

On the first of these days' amusements ( I know not what year ) Frank took offence at some attentions paid his Desdemona, and walked away next morning to London in wrath.

1848, James Boswell, The Life of Samuel Johnson, page 77:

Luria, the Moor of Florence, is a sentimentally magnanimous Othello without his passions and without his Desdemona.

2005, Boyd Litzinger, Donald Smalley, Robert Browning: The Critical Heritage, page 260:

Devastated by early losses, the narcissistic lover is unable to live with his Desdemona because he is unable to live without his idealization of her.

2012, Alvin O. Korte, Nosotros: A Study of Everyday Meanings in Hispano New Mexico:

Othello's wife in Shakespeare's play The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice, noted for being a victim of jealousy.

1999 July 5, lee burwasser, “Re: Muldertorture, Scullytorture, Krycektorture, Skinnertorture, and Character Attacks”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative (Usenet):

The fact that “My Immortal” is so poorly written and so (apparently, possibly?) meta about its story-within-a-story frame, and furthermore features so many (apparently, possibly?) self-reflexive, self-implicating jokes (at one point in the narrative, Ebony pulls out a “Hot Topic Loyalty card”) (ibid), suggests that, perhaps, “My Immortal” isn’t “real” fan fiction at all, but instead is “trollfic” or “badfic”—deliberately and excruciatingly bad fan fiction created for the explicit purpose of messing with a given fan community, even if a person happens to be a member of that community.

uchronia

From French uchronie, formed (after utopia) from Ancient Greek οὐ (ou, “not”) + Ancient Greek χρόνος (khrónos, “time”) + -ia.

af

Mercier's resort to uchronia, on the other hand, initiates a new paradigm for utopian literature not only by setting action in a specific future chronologically connected to our past and present but even more crucially by characterizing that future as one belonging to progress and thus linked causally if not immediately to the reader's time.

1987, Paul K. Alkon, Origins of Futuristic Fiction, page 127:

For Portelli, uchronia comprises 'that amazing scene in which the author imagines what would have happened if a certain historical event had not taken place'.

2007, Andy Wood, The 1549 Rebellions and the Making of Early Modern England, page 211:

This uchronia actually exerted some influence in its time, converting many readers to socialism because they wanted to live in the world of Bellamy's vision.

Before “Prophecy Girl,” I thought Buffy was a pretty cool show with some great moments, way better than anything else on the box. In its wake, I was an obsessive Buffy'''holic.
