Matth.

A convergent abbreviation of the English Matthew and of its Latin equivalent Matthaeus.

“Augustine observes how those who are addressed here as ‘being evil,’ are the very same into whose mouths but just now the Lord has put that word, ‘Our Father;’ to whom he has made the promise ‘Ask and it shall be given you;’ so that every faithful, i. e., believing man, has a double aspect, he is ‘evil’ through his old nature, he is good through participation with him who is the highest good, who is in some sense the alone good (Matth. xix. 17), the good in himself, and altogether good, while others are good through him, and only as they are sharers of his life.[”]

Johnlock

All of our "feels" are on the line again as they continue to be with anything that involves Johnlock (thanks a lot, Moffat), Merthur and Destiel.

2013, Keren Lopez, "Yahoo buys Tumblr, leaves fandoms in despair", La Voz Weekly (De Anza College), Volume 46, Number 27, 3 June 2013, page 8

(Of course, as any fan knows, the shippers watching the show who want the relationship to be there will find it anyway — as they did with Xena and Gabrielle — and the Johnlock fanfic is alive and well.)

2015, Nikki Stafford, Investigating Sherlock: The Unofficial Guide, pages 57-58:

Although Johnlock is certainly the most prolific argument for a queer reading of the relationship between John and Sherlock, Johnlockary argues that there is more than one queer interpretation of the text, and the inclusion of a woman in the Johnlock relationship does not make it any less queer.

2017, Alyxis Smith, “Fan Fiction as an Argument: Arguing for Johnlock through the Roles of Women and Explicit Sex Scenes in Sherlock Fan Fiction”, in Lynnette Porter, editor, Who Is Sherlock?: Essays on Identity in Modern Holmes Adaptations, page 167:

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.

Red-Queen hypothesis (alternative)
Red Queen's hypothesis (alternative)

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.

→ Gujarati: અફરાસિયાબ (apharāsiyāb)

From Middle Persian plʾsy̲d̲ʾp̄' (frāsiyāb), plʾsyʾk' (frāsiyāg). Compare Avestan 𐬟𐬭𐬀𐬢𐬭𐬀𐬯𐬌𐬌𐬀𐬥 (fraŋrasiian) and Old Armenian loanword Հրասեակ (Hraseak).

Sarah, wife of patriarch Abraham, mother of Isaac

a female given name from Hebrew, equivalent to English Sarah


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.

2013, Anne Jamison, Fic: Why Fanfiction Is Taking Over the World, BenBella Books, →ISBN:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Stiles Stilinski and Derek Hale from the television series Teen Wolf.


Drarry

It occurs because in canon Harry and Draco feel no emotion for each other warmer than intense dislike. […] Harry is willing to save Draco's life out of recognition of their shared humanity, but with apologies to all the Drarry shippers out there, that's as far as it goes.

2011, Aaron Schwabach, Fan Fiction and Copyright: Outsider Works and Intellectual Property Protection, Ashgate, →ISBN, pages 69–79:

2013, Anne Jamison, Fic: Why Fanfiction Is Taking Over the World, BenBella Books (2013), →ISBN, unnumbered page:draco malfoy is a beautiful creation and he should be protected by harry potter who is his second cousin and who cares if you think its gross they are adorable together let the gayness happen
Dramione shippers apparently feel the same way when too much attention is paid to Drarry.

Fanfics that depict relationships between Draco and Harry have been particularly popular, spawning a cult of ‘Drarry’ shippers – with Facebook pages, fan art and many stories all dedicated to the pairing.

2013, Sarah Dear, "Fanfiction - A Hobby for Generations of Teenagers", Impact (University of Nottingham), 26 April 2013

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter of the Harry Potter series.

This is a haven for writers and readers to converge and show their interest in a variety of genres with any characters, from the typical Dramione (Draco and Hermione) action-adventure to the absurd Filch-Peeves BDSM.

Kearney: Good evening, young man. My name is Charles Norwood. Furthermore to this beer, I would also like three of your finest, cheapest cigars. Here's my ID which confirms my adultivity.

From mal- + park + -age. Perhaps introduced in the animated TV series The Simpsons; see Citations:malparkage.

Lisa Simpson (reading letter): Dear motorist. Your vehicle is illegally parked in the borough of Manhattan. If you do not remedy this malparkage within 72 hours, your car will be thrown into the East River at your expense.

1997 21 September, Ian Maxtone-Graham, "The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson", episode 9-1 of The Simpsons, 00:11:46-00:11:59

Coupled with said customer's malparkage in the handicapped zone right in front of the door, this will usually create an atmosphere of tense, suspect aversion.

Supposedly, regular mortals have to shell out $50 for presumptuous malparkage among the elite.

Bonjour, you cheese-eating surrender monkeys!

1995 April 30, “'Round Springfield”, in The Simpsons, season 6, episode 22, spoken by Groundskeeper Willie (Dan Castellaneta):

In turn, we British may feel disillusioned with what's left of the special relationship, increasingly out of sympathy with American attitudes, and rather more in sympathy with the cheese-eating surrender monkeys and their friends across the Channel.

We've lived with terrorism for years, and we know you can lick it, especially if we don't overreact and make unnecessary sacrifices of liberty in the name of security - for freedom is its own best defence.

2006 July 5, Timothy Garton Ash, “Between cheese-eating surrender monkeys and fire-eating war junkies”, in The Guardian, retrieved 2021-05-31:

But despite their seemingly rampant Anglophilia, there are still some things the French miss—a good steak tartare, for instance, or the chance to cheer on their rugby team without being shouted down as ‘cheese-eating surrender monkeys’.

2008 March 23, Elizabeth Day, “The great French love affair with la vie anglaise”, in The Observer, →ISSN:

Groundskeeper Willie called us cheese-eating surrender monkeys: he almost had it right. But it isn't just the French—as a species we are all cheese-eating surrender monkeys.

Mordor

Chinese: 魔多

Polish: Mordor

Russian: Мо́рдор (Mórdor)

Ukrainian: Мо́рдор (Mórdor)

/ˈmɔːdɔː(ɹ)/

J. R. R. Tolkien
Middle-earth
Mordor
Sauron

From Mordor, a bleak realm ruled by the dark lord Sauron, in J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional Middle-earth. Tolkien created the name in his constructed language Sindarin, from morn (“dark, black”) and dôr (“land”). Compare with Old English morþor (“murder”), murder, Greek μαυρός (mavrós, “dim”) and Latin mors (“death”). Sense 2 is a semantic loan from Ukrainian Мо́рдор (Mórdor) or Russian Мо́рдор (Mórdor), both of those from the English word, alluding to it being the land of orcs.

semantic loan

It is a “Mordor” sort of anthropology, dark rather than light, swampland rather than solid ground.

2007, Paul F. M. Zahl, Grace in Practice: A Theology of Everyday Life, Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., published 2007, →ISBN, page 94:

Nevertheless, this book is about the truth, the good and the bad, so I will tread into the forbidden territory, the Mordor of motherhood.

2007, B. Erin Wylde, Where Did I Go?, →ISBN, page 100:

“OK, can we go back now?” asked their guide and expert on the underground, whose restless eyes implied that he was on the edge of panic. “I for one am not venturing a step further into this Mordor.”

2012, Zygmunt Miłoszewski, A Grain of Truth: A Second Case for State Prosecutor Teodor Szacki, Bitter Lemon Press (2012; original Polish book published 2011), page 290

It’s impossible to find harmony in an outfit when you have to schlep five kilos of kit with you in order to manage the post-workout transformation. Of course, I could change at work. But this would entail using the office showers. And I would sooner venture into Mordor.

2017 November 16, Jo Ellison, “Help: the gym has turned us into slobs”, in Financial Times:

“I fled from Moscow, which has turned into Mordor.[…]”

From Mordor, a bleak realm ruled by the dark lord Sauron, in J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional Middle-earth.

Nie zrobił Mordor niczego złego: był jedynym w Śródziemiu nowoczesnym społeczeństwem opartym na wiedzy i racjonalizmie, rozwijającym się i uprzemysławiającym, pełnym naukowców i artystów – zupełnie jak Rosja.

Mordor did nothing wrong: it was the only modern society in Middle-earth based on knowledge and rationalism, developing and industrializing, full of scientists and artists – just like Russia.

Nazgul

From nazgûl (“ringwraith”) in J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional language Black Speech, a compound of nazg (“ring”) and gûl (“wraith; spirit”).

The West Hampstead studio flat looks like the Nazgul have just thundered through it […]

The last thing she wanted was for Zach to come storming out of the house like a Nazgul, telling her to get the hell away from his daughter.

2011, Kristin Hannah, Night Road, page 282:

There's three blokes who look like the Nazgul in pinstripes, and a skinny hatchetfaced bird who keeps saying “Well?” at me every time she asks me a question and I don't answer her inside half a second.

2012, Tom Holt, You Don't Have to Be Evil to Work Here, But it Helps, page 133:

(fantasy) An evil force which heedlessly destroys everything in its path, and appears like a horseman dressed all in black.


Nazgul

(On Lost Souls there is a Ringwraith guild; Nazguls are members at levels 26-29.)

1994, Chiaroscuro, “Re: ColdMUD, interesting career(class,guild)-systems, and thoughts about mudding”, in rec.games.mud.misc (Usenet):

In the Touist^([sic]) quest, there was a polymorph trap on the first level, and one of the non-peaceful buggers polyed into a Nazgul (ugh!).

1994, The Nowhere Man, “Re: Only 9 Nazguls? (was: Ascension (long))”, in rec.games.roguelike.nethack (Usenet):

AFAIK Moria itself has never had uniques, though some variants do (Morgul has the nine Nazguls, for instance) or artifacts.

1999, Jonathan Ellis, “Re: unique version of moria”, in rec.games.roguelike.moria (Usenet):

Scrolls of mass genocide, scrolls of teleport, and a kick-ass bow generally are prerequisites for killing Nazguls in Pernband.

2001, Pat Gunn, “Re: [Pern] YASD (#$# Nazguls)”, in rec.games.roguelike.angband (Usenet):

Soulcrusher established his power in Valhalla itself where he trained the Nazguls and built a guardian to protect his privacy.

2000, Fuzzy, “AD: [rom] Dawn of Empires - mud.dawnofempires.com”, in rec.games.mud.misc (Usenet):

While poking around on level 20, I came across an object I've never seen before, a Short Bow of the Nazgul (x2) (-7,-7) {cursed}.

2002, Matthew Murray, “Short Bow of the Nazgul”, in rec.games.roguelike.angband (Usenet):

(fantasy, roleplaying games) A type of demonic or undead creature.

1981, Katharyn W. Crabbe, J. R. R. Tolkien, Frederick Ungar Publishers, →ISBN, page 60:

So here goes: much as Alex Ferguson and Manchester United could not afford to let their Bilboesque, talismanic striker leave the football club, Key and New Zealand could not afford to let this production take flight.

2010 October 29, Toby Manhire, “The Hobbit hullabaloo”, in The Guardian:

“He’s Bilbo-esque,” the filmmaker said. “You might not always want to say that about you, right? But seriously he has the essential features of this little English gent, this country gent who is slightly old-fashioned and has to go around in the world and try to cope with it. That’s not exactly who Martin [Freeman] is as a person, but as an actor he does that so well. […]

2011 August 23, Geoff Boucher, “‘The Hobbit’: Peter Jackson and the one true Bilbo Baggins”, in Los Angeles Times:

Of, relating to, or reminiscent of the character Bilbo Baggins from The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

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.

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.

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).

ten points to Gryffindor

From the Harry Potter series, in which students of the magical school Hogwarts belong to four houses (Harry Potter belongs to Gryffindor), and earn or lose points for them based on their actions.

'Well, I'm assuming two things will happen. One, she'll try and kill me, two, you'll come down on her like a ton of bricks.'
'Ten points to Gryffindor,' said Gwen.

2008, James Goss, Torchwood: Almost Perfect, BBC Books, →ISBN, page 90:

“Yeah, sure. You know I can't stand the sight of blood, right?”
“Said no one ever while dating a vampire,” he quipped.
“Very clever. Ten points to Gryffindor.”

2013, Kristi Cook, Eternal, Simon and Schuster, →ISBN, page 232:

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:

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.

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.
