During "The Writing for Teens and Television" symposium, in an exchange about adolescent language, Whedon readily admits, as he has done in other interviews, that Buffyspeak was his creation and not intended to be mimetic.

2007, Dear Angela: Remember My So-Called Life, page 216:

The linguistic distinctiveness of Buffyspeak is not reproduced in the Italian version, where teenagers' speech style is, at most, characterized by an informality which does not have any particular connotation as 'youth language.'

sweet summer child

en-noun

sweet summer child (plural sweet summer children)

As an idiomatic phrase, apparently from the 1996 fantasy novel A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin, although isolated occurrences go back to the 1800s. In the novel, a young boy is called a "sweet summer child" by an old woman, since seasons last for years in the novel's world and he has yet to experience winter. Later popularized by its use in the episode "Lord Snow" (2011) of the television adaptation Game of Thrones.

Don't think people have tried to put Mario games in order? Oh sweet summer child.

2015 February 19, Christopher Castano, “Out Of Control”, in The Georgetown Voice, Georgetown University, page 10:

"Starts?" I hear you cry, "How can it get any weirder than that?". Oh, my sweet summer children, what George wants me to do while he licks my feet clean is take pictures and humiliate him.

2019, Dee Dickens, Duct Tape and Daddy Issues: Phone-Sex Worker Tells All, unnumbered page:

It can't be worse than "X-Men: The Last Stand," can it? Oh, sweet summer child. It can always get worse…especially in Hollywood.

2019 October 24, Jared Rasic, “Film Shorts”, in Source Weekly, page 34:

Hecatoncheires

/ˌhɛkətɒŋˈkaɪɹiːz/

From Ancient Greek ἑκᾰτόν (hekatón, “hundred”) + χείρ (kheír, “hand”), compare the adjective ἑκατόγχειρος (hekatónkheiros, “hundred-handed”). The putative *Ἑκατόγχειρες (*Hekatónkheires) is unattested in Hesiod's Theogony, which instead describes the giants with the phrase ἑκατὸν μὲν χεῖρες (hekatòn mèn kheîres).

lang

τῶν ἑκατὸν μὲν χεῖρες ἀπ’ ὤμων ἀίσσοντο, ἄπλαστοι, κεφαλαὶ δὲ ἑκάστῳ πεντήκοντα ἐξ ὤμων ἐπέφυκον ἐπὶ στιβαροῖσι μέλεσσιν· ἰσχὺς δ’ ἄπλητος κρατερὴ μεγάλῳ ἐπὶ εἴδει.

The three Hecatoncheires were named Cottus, Briareus (or Aegaeon) and Gyges (or Gyes).

1840, George Cornewall Lewis (translator), John William Donaldson (translator, later chapters), Karl Otfried Müller, History of the Literature of Ancient Greece: To the Period of Isocrates, Robert Baldwin, page 92,
[…] nor is it until the poet has related how Zeus set free these Hecatoncheires, by the advice of the Earth, that we are introduced to the battle with the Titans, which has already been some time going on.

But then Zeus went down to Tartarus and released the Cyclopes and the hundred-handed monsters. The Cyclopes awarded Zeus their weapons of thunder and lightning, and the Hecatoncheires pelted the Titans with boulders.

1973, James Weigel, James L. Roberts, Mythology, CliffsNotes, page 50:

1993, Tim Parks (translator), Roberto Calasso, The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony, [1988, R. Calasso, Le nozze di Cadmo e Armonia], Random House (Vintage), page 202,
By this time many beings had spread out across space, both on high and below: the Titans, the Cyclopes, the Hecatoncheires.

(Greek mythology) Three monstrous giants of enormous size and strength, each with fifty heads and one hundred arms, who were offspring of Uranus by Gaia, whom Zeus freed from captivity and who in return aided the Olympians in the Titanomachy.

Gendrya

While likely an overt reference to Gendry's Baratheon heritage, but many Gendrya shippers also hope that secret has something to do with the younger Stark sister.

2019 April 10, Benjamin Fearnow, “Jamie x Brienne, Gendrya and Jonsa: The Weird and Wild Couples 'Game of Thrones' Fans Want to See Get Together”, in Newsweek:

Still, not everyone's onboard the Gendrya hype train.

Jonsa

The moment sets the relationship between Jon and Sansa (Jonsa) at tension with the relationship between Jon and Dany (Jonerys).

2019 April 15, Henry McKenna, “Is Sansa Stark in love with Jon Snow?”, in USA Today:

Jonsa fans, convinced that Jon was just pretending to fancy Daenerys for political gain, went searching for subtextual support for their theories.

2019 April 21, Joanna Robinson, “The Game of Thrones Fan War Only George R.R. Martin Saw Coming”, in Vanity Fair:

This sentiment resonates with Jonsa shippers who have cast Jon and Sansa into stories ranging from Moulin Rouge! (2001) and Downton Abbey (2010-2015) to Emma (1815) and Tangled (2010) to The Princess Bride (1987) and The Breakfast Club (1985).

It also comes after he finally hooked up with Brienne, a long-in-the-making love connection that “Braime” fans have been waiting for since season two.

2019 May 7, Lindsey Romain, “What Is Jaime Planning to Do with Cersei?”, in Nerdist:

The final words of Dade's acknowledgements for the novel are directed at the Braime fandom, which she states to have been part of, with "some signs of that [noticeable] throughout this manuscript."

2023, Amanda Boyce, “The Fix-It Novel: How Commercial Authors Instrumentalize Fan Fiction's Subversive Potential”, in Kaitlin Tonti, editor, Fix-It Fics: Challenging the Status Quo through Fan Fiction, page 147:

Jonerys

You saw the way they were looking at each other in that ship’s cabin last week, and the director of that episode confirmed that Jonerys will be debuting soon.

2017 August 25, Jeremy Egner, “'Game of Thrones': 7 Questions for the Season 7 Finale”, in The New York Times:

The episode description of the season finale, titled The Dragon And The Wolf, points in that direction as well, with a subtle hint about a steamy 'Jonerys' moment.

2017 August 27, Kabita Maharana, “Jon Snow and Daenerys sex scene teased in Game of Thrones season 7 finale description”, in International Business Times:

If I read a fic by a Jonerys (Jon/Daenerys) shipper, I am likely to feel that Sansa is OOC, and if they read one of my stories, they probably wouldn't agree with my portrayal of Dany.

2023, Jessica Hautsch, Mind, Body, and Emotion in the Reception and Creation Practices of Fan Communities: Thinking Through Feels, page 178:

“That is not very Unseelie, and most definitely not very sluagh.”
“I cannot always choose how the magic will come.”
“It is wild magic, and it chooses its own way like water finding a cleft in a rock,” he said.

2008, Laurell K. Hamilton, Swallowing Darkness: A Novel, Ballantine Books, →ISBN:

“I am very Unseelie Tuatha Dé. Almost one hundred percent, in fact. Only a drop of Seelie to muddy the pool. Do you have a problem with that, Shining One?”

2010, Nalini Singh, Erin McCarthy, Jean Johnson, Lora Leigh, Linda Winstead Jones, Angela Knight, Anya Bast, Allyson James, Paranormal Holiday Anthology Trio, Penguin, →ISBN:

(fantasy, folklore) Of or pertaining to the unseelie; malevolent (as a fairy, etc).


dullahan

From Irish dulachán, from dubh (“black”) + another word (compare lucharachán (“elf, dwarf”)), possibly originally a term for a dark or sullen person (compare the surname Dullahan) and only subsequently applied to the spirit.

The dullahans always came in a mist. But Devin wasn't afraid of dullahans. If he saw one, he would club it over the head. But then Devin remembered that dullahans didn't have heads. He grasped his stick a little tighter in his hand, […]

1990, Elona Malterre, The Last Wolf of Ireland, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, →ISBN, page 3:

“A dullahan,” both Phelan and Coriel whispered. Coriel looked her square in the eye, “You did remember the gold, right?” ML blushed, “No, I didn't. I was so scared I just started running.” “Then how did you escape?” “My pocket tore on a bush. […] “You're lucky you're not dead anyway. The dullahan could have stopped or spoken your name, or both.”

2008, Jessica Borchardt, A Fairy Yarn, →ISBN, page 53:

There is no way to bar the road against a dullahan. All locks and gates open on their own when it approaches. Dullahans do not appreciate being watched while on their errands, throwing a basin of blood on those who dare to do so […]

2014, Tony Locke, Mayo Folk Tales, The History Press, →ISBN:

But the values of a fairy manifested into physical form in this city—a dullahan.” Celty Sturluson was not a human being. Celty was a type of fairy known as a dullahan that appeared to those close to death, signaling their impending demise.

2015, Ryohgo Narita, Durarara, volume 1, Yen Press LLC, →ISBN:

Because she is a dullahan, her head is not connected to her body—it's held in place by her gear.

2017, Kugane Maruyama, Satoshi Oshio, Overlord, volume 4, Yen Press LLC, →ISBN:

(fantasy, Irish mythology) A black-clad (usually male) horserider in Irish folklore which carries its severed head like a lantern and may be repelled by gold; when it stops riding (or calls out someone's name), someone will die. (Also called the Gan Ceann, Irish for "[one] without a head".)


Seelie

From Scots sely, seelie (“holy, good”), from Middle English seely, from Old English sǣliġ, gesǣlig. Doublet of silly.

Okay, so that sounded like the Seelie hated the Unseelie and vice versa. But not quite. There was something more here. I puzzled over it several moments. Did it mean the Seelie couldn't actually touch the Unseelie, and vice versa? I read on.

2008, Karen Marie Moning, Faefever: Fever Series, Delacorte Press, →ISBN:

We like the Seelie court and the humans lived, loved and laughed. As the war between the Seelie and the Unseelie escalated and the Seelie gained the upper hand we Unseelie were forced to hide in the shadows and fear for our lives.

2015, Selena Thana, Sidhe Megalomania: Tuath Dé - Tome 4, K. George, →ISBN:

(fantasy, folklore) A benevolent or beneficially-inclined fairy.


Seelie

Seelie (comparative more Seelie, superlative most Seelie)

more Seelie (comparative)
most Seelie (superlative)

“Like Sleeping Beauty, you mean,” I said. Henry nodded. His handsome face was very worried, and I didn't know him long enough to read him that well. “They came and saw the garden, and it was very Seelie, my lord. More than that, none.”

“Altruism is very Seelie.” “The sidhe were all Seelie once,” Shock said. “Either we resign ourselves to that part of our history or we go mad. I do not fight my impulses toward love and beauty the way my father does. But enough of that.”

2018, Mishell Baker, Impostor Syndrome, Simon and Schuster, →ISBN:

(fantasy, folklore) Of or pertaining to the Seelie; benevolent (as a fairy, etc).

stonelore

The whole difficulty disappears when the comparative study of large stones begins, and we are told that such stones were inscribed with a hand; and when we find scientific stone-lore coming to the help of Hebrew Lexicography, we may be […]

1875, Henry Thomas Armfield, On some Ancient Boulders scattered in the District of the Colnes, page 8:

It was a type of rock which the Land's former masters of stonelore had named orcrest. It was half the size of his fist, irregularly shaped but smooth; and its surface gave a strange impression of translucence without transparency, […]

1987, Stephen R. Donaldson, White Gold Wielder, Del Rey Books, →ISBN:

“Even you don't know what that means,” Sidroc said. “It means my brain is turning into a rock, like yours was to start with,” Ealstan said. “If the Algarvians had let you take stonelore, you would have found out for yourself.”

2007, Harry Turtledove, Darkness Descending: A Novel of World War - And Magic, Macmillan, →ISBN:

But before he could pry the rock out of the slope, he felt Stave coming toward him. “Permit me,” the former Master offered. “There is little else that I can do to aid you. I lack the stonelore of Giants. Nor, it appears, do my senses equal yours. Yet strength I have.”

2013, Stephen R. Donaldson, The Last Dark, Penguin, →ISBN, page 171:

“They kill us because they've got stonelore telling them at every turn that we're born evil—some kind of agents of Father Earth, monsters that barely qualify as human.” “Yes, but you can't change stonelore.” “Stonelore changes all the time,[…]”

2015, N. K. Jemisin, The Fifth Season, Orbit, →ISBN:

(especially fantasy) Knowledge or study of stone(s).


tiefling

From German tief (“deep, low”) + -ling; coined for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition.

That left me with either a human female paladin or a tiefling warlord.

2013, David M. Ewalt, “D&D Next”, in Of dice and men : the story of Dungeons & Dragons and the people who play it, Scribner, →ISBN, →LCCN, page 210:

I did not choose to be a monster—a shell of a man—half-human, half-fiend. I am a tiefling. I am what I am.

2015 April 9, Barbara T. Cerny, The Tiefling: Angel Kissed, Devil Touched, Assent Publishing, →ISBN:

The Radiant Cathedral, on the other hand, trains aasimars to become beacons of the Sarenite faith, and also guides tieflings to a brighter future than their heritage suggests.

2018, “Planar Scion”, in Starfinder: Alien Archive 2, Paizo, →ISBN, page 210:

(fantasy, roleplaying games) A member of a race of beings having a combination of human and demonic ancestry, found especially in Dungeons & Dragons.

faaden (plural)
faada (nominative singular)
faaden (definite nominative plural)
faada (accusative singular)

From para- (“above, beyond; abnormal”) + natural (“of or relating to nature; as expected; reasonable”); compare paranormal, supernatural.

prefix

(science fiction, fantasy) A paranormal entity.


stoor worm

The first element may be stoor, stour (“large, stout”) (cognate to Old Norse stórr), or it may be from Old Norse Storðar-gandr (literally “world-monster”), an alternative name for Jörmungandr, from poetic use of storð to mean "earth", whence storðar men, "earth's necklace", i.e. "sea" (storð more often meant "wood" and storðar-gandr more often meant "wood's bane" i.e. "fire"). The second element is worm (“sea-dragon”).

But with regard to the Stoor Worms (which I have oftener heard called Sea Worms by the Norwegians), those who totally discredited the existence of the Kraakens told told me, they believed them really to exist: […]

1771, Philosophical Transactions, Giving Some Accompt of the Present Undertakings, Studies, and Labours of the Ingenious in Many Considerable Parts of the World, page 41:

Madness, like a Stoor Worm, moved continuously under their feet, making every step they took full of terror. Phelim peered at each face, but could see no one who resembled his dimly remembered father. Besides, it was difficult: […]

2000, Geraldine McCaughrean, The Stones are Hatching, Oxford University Press, USA, →ISBN, page 181:

The Muckle Mester Stoor Worm was the father of all the terrible stoor worms that lived in the sea - huge sea monsters that destroyed ships and breathed poison over the land.

2003, Donald Omand, The Orkney Book, Birlinn Publishers:

Now, I don't suppose that you are familiar with the internal plumbing of a stoor worm, so I had better explain. There was a large tunnel that ran right through the stoor worm, but here and there were smaller tunnels running off the big one […]

2014, Tom Muir, Orkney Folk Tales, The History Press, →ISBN:

A giant sea serpent or sea dragon in Orcadian folklore, which had putrid breath, probably an Orkney version of Jörmungandr.


Throneverse

AND FINALLY, we get to the best current pairing in the Throneverse — Arya and the Hound.

2014, David Malitz, "‘Game of Thrones’ recap: ‘The Lannisters aren’t the only ones who pay their debts.’", Washington Post, 6 April 2014 (image caption)

Unless he's not on her side any more, in which case she's screwed: loyalties do tend to shift a bit in the Throneverse.

2015 May 24, Bob Pobjie, “What's on TV Monday: Game of Thrones”, in The Sydney Morning Herald:

(fandom slang) The fictional universe which serves as the setting for the television series Game of Thrones.


Martinverse

From Martin + -verse, from the surname of author George R. R. Martin.

Wargs in the Martinverse uniquely involve the act of “warging,” in which a human links to a particular animal, sees through its eyes and sometimes controls its body.

2015, T. A. Leederman, "A Thousand Westerosi Plateaus: Wargs, Wolves and Ways of Being", in Mastering the Game of Thrones: Essays on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire (eds. Jes Battis & Susan Johnston), page 190

Words from the Martinverse start creeping into your normal conversations, like “smallclothes,” “jape,” and “mummer’s farce.”

2015 November 25, Dana Ryals, Kelley Minica, “Winter is Here: A Game of Thrones Reading Group”, in The Clarion, Madison Area Technical College, page 2:

One of the few truly honourable warriors in the Martinverse, Brienne of Tarth, the lady knight, concludes resignedly that “the good lords are dead and the rest of them are monsters” (GoT 5.1).

2018, Stefanie Lethbridge, “Entangled Agency: Heroic Dragons and Direwolves in Game of Thrones”, in helden. heroes. héros., number 3, page 8:

(fandom slang) The fictional universe which serves as the setting for the A Song of Ice and Fire novel series and its television adaptation Game of Thrones.


Thronesverse

This is The Empire Strikes Back of the Thrones'''-verse — except on this show, the Empire always seems like it’s striking back.

2013 April 1, James Hibberd, “Game of Thrones season premiere recap: 'Valar Dohaeris'”, in Entertainment Weekly:

Graeme of Thrones broadly follows that template with the drama shifting between the hysterically bad renditions of key moments of the Thronesverse […]

2017 October, “Graeme of Thrones”, in KCW Today, page 45:

So, over the last couple of years, we've had a gradual dribble of information about a slew of potential spin-offs set in the Thronesverse.

2018 June 11, Tom Nicholson, “Everything We Know About The 'Game Of Thrones' Prequel 'House Of The Dragon'”, in Esquire:


Thronesiverse

Blend of thrones + universe or thrones + -i- + -verse.

(Here's a brief primer on the religions of the Thronesiverse, if you're curious.)

2015 April 26, Jeremy Egner, “‘Game of Thrones’ Recap: The Faith and the Crown”, in New York Times:

The good news is, it looks like George R.R. Martin is into the idea of another series set in the Thrones'''-iverse.

2016 September 30, Laura Bradley, “Is HBO Mulling a Game of Thrones Spin-Off or Not?”, in Vanity Fair:

The mock heraldic strains of the Game of Thrones theme, borrowed straight from Monty Python’s Holy Grail, accompany a nifty dragon’s eye view of a beautifully wrought clockwork Thronesiverse.

2017 November 25, Patrick Freyne, “The TV theme songs that make you drool with pleasure”, in The Irish Times:

Adlet

(cryptozoology, mythology) Alternative letter-case form of adlet (“half-human, half-dog cryptid”)


Wolfstar

From wolf + star: Remus Lupin is a werewolf; and Sirius Black is named after the dog star Sirius (Sirius Black is an animagus who turns into a dog).

Remus’ lycanthropy almost always features in Wolfstar fics precisely because it is his lycanthropy that brands his sexuality as disallowable.

2016, Jaquelin Elliott, “Becoming The Monster: Queer Monstrosity and the Reclamation of the Werewolf in Slash Fandom”, in Revenant, number 2, page 99:

The continued enthusiasm demonstrated here alludes to the power SBP has within HP fandom: as Emmie describes it, SBP is “the cornerstone of the Wolfstar fandom” (“Shoebox Project”).

2018, Kasandra Arthur, "We Are Having All Kinds of Fun: Fluidity in Shoebox Project", thesis submitted to the University of Waterloo, page 142

Silveredglass, a reader and writer who primarily ships Drarry and Remus Lupin/Sirius Black or 'Wolfstar', found Harry Potter fandom through Tumblr.

2018, Emily E. Roach, “Polyjuice and Potterheads: The Changing Face of Fandom from LiveJournal to Tumblr”, in Fan Phenomena: Harry Potter, unnumbered page:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Remus Lupin and Sirius Black of the Harry Potter series.


Hinny

Below are two images of fan art which represents the Hinny ship.

2014, Zakia Jeewa, "Social Network Fandoms & Online Role-Playing: Harry Potter and The Vampire Diaries Fans on Twitter", thesis submitted to the University of KwaZulu-Natal, page 99

On the other hand, one of the ships I hate is Hinny, a.k.a. Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley.

2015 February 13, Rebecca Fartharly, “What are your favourite fictional ships?”, in inQuire, University of Kent, page 10:

And that's my not at all biased take on why Hinny are the perfect couple.

2017, Andrew, "Romance in HP: Hinny", HPReadathon, Issue 2, February 2017, page 2

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley of the Harry Potter series.


H/G

Maybe its just my H/G shipping ;) but I think it'll be Ginny and Harry at the end of the series.

2001 July 12, David, “Re: The Order Of The Phoenix”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

I still, however, *despise* the H/G pairing.

2002 April 28, Lady_Nyx, “Re: Ron and hermoine”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

So many H/G and R/Hr shippers were high-fiving each other last Saturday, it was quite fun.

R/H

Initialism from the names Ron and Hermione.

Note that Sugarquill's philosophy is basically that Ron and Hermione belong together (although not all the stories are R/H), so if you happen to be a Harry/Hermione 'shipper' it won't quite fit your requirements.

2002 February 22, Pen, “Re: FanFics you liked”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

Jedi Boadicea is an R/H person, but that aspect doesn't take centre stage in her stories; she keeps in mind that the characters are still school-kids, so what little romance there is is^([sic]) always age-appropriate.

2002 November 13, Lisa Hicks, “Re: atmosphere or clue?”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

My only criteria is I'm an R/H shipper so any story that doesn't have that pairing doesn't interest me.

2005 April 20, mis...@mi.com, “Fanfiction Recommendatios”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger of the Harry Potter series.


R/Hr

For what it's worth, the vast majority of the fandom picks up on R/Hr over H/Hr.

2003 September 30, Tim Behrendsen, “Re: My input on Ha/Hr”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

And what would Lavender have done to deserve this, aside from be an obstacle to R/Hr 'shippers?

2005 September 17, Louis Epstein, “Re: HBP Chapter 22 re-read”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):


H/H

Initialism from the names Harry and Hermione.

My daughter was finishing GOF & she was like, "Look! Here is the foreshadowing of the H/H relationship!"

2001 December 28, CrimsonRiver, “From GOF, a H/H relationship set up”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

Also I DON'T think like some H/H shippers that kiss on the cheek was a 'sign'.

2002 September 7, Tom, “Re: Poll: Ron with Hermione or Harry with Hermione?”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

IMO H/H have been built as being compatible over the series while R/Hr are shown as volatile.

2003 March 24, Meliss9900, “Re: Re: Hermione”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Harry Potter and Hermione Granger of the Harry Potter series.


Snily

A classic example is Jily (James/Lily) vs. Snily (Snape/Lily), which even had its own debate at LeakyCon.

2013 October, “Why Victoria (@timelinenargles) Keeps Calm And Ships Jily”, in Fandoms Assemble, page 18:

"If Snily had been a thing, there would have been no Harry Potter."

2014, Alice Oseman, Solitaire, unnumbered page:

The acronym OTP (One True Pairing) is used by many fans to emphasize their favourite ships ('I ship Snarry, but Snily is my OTP').

2015, Amanda K. Allen, “Social Networking, Participatory Culture and the Fandom World of Harry Potter”, in Gail Ashton, editor, Medieval Afterlives in Contemporary Culture, page 279:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Severus Snape and Lily Potter of the Harry Potter series.


Jily

For example, Rattlesnakeroot writes "I, for one, am glad to see "Lames" or "Jily" fall from grace and crash to pieces like the plaster saints they are. I'm so sick of the romantic picture of them that keeps permeating the various sites. *gag*" [11].

2014, Zoe Alderton, “'Snapewives' and 'Snapeism': A Fiction-Based Religion within the Harry Potter Fandom”, in Religions, volume 5, number 1, page 224:

Be prepared for some adorable Jily fluff towards the end haha.

2017, Meg, "Fanfic Recommendation", HPReadathon, October 2017, page 9

(fandom slang) The ship of characters James Potter and Lily Potter of the Harry Potter series.


Grindeldore

The day after the release of Deathly Hallows, the community Grindeldore appeared on Livejournal.com. Dedicated to "[f]anworks and discussion on Grindelwald/Dumbledore," the community became a locus for fanfiction, fan art, and fan essays ("meta") on the relationship.

2008, Catherine Tosenberger, "'Oh my God, the Fanfiction!': Dumbledore's Outing and the Online Harry Potter Fandom", Children's Literature Association Quarterly, Volume 33, Number 2, Summer 2008, page 201:

After all, it was immediately after the seventh book release at Prophecy, a fan convention in Toronto, that I first encountered the idea of a "Grindeldore" pairing.

2010, Joel Meredith, “Our Business: Why I'm Glad J. K. Rowling Outed Albus Dumbledore”, in Sharon K. Goetz, editor, Terminus: Collected Papers on Harry Potter, 7-11 August 2008, page 137:

The circle on the front poster of the calendar binds Grindeldore together.

2018 September, S. P. Sipal, “Did Dumbledore And Grindelwald Make An Unbreakable Vow As Teens?”, in The Rowling Library Magazine, number 21, page 24:

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Gellert Grindelwald and Albus Dumbledore of the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts franchises.

Unlike Weasleycest, which has spread across the fandom like kudzu, Malfoycest has always been more difficult to find, and its writers a bit more secretive.

2007, Catherine Tosenberger, "Potterotics: Harry Potter Fanfiction On The Internet", dissertation submitted to the University of Florida, page 151

The most popular pairing within Malfoycest is Lucius/Draco.

2010, Sigrid Sindhuber, "Slashing Harry Potter: The phenomenon of border-transgression in fan fiction", thesis submitted to the University of Vienna, page 93

Further, it is striking that with the exception of Malfoycest (Draco/Lucius, Draco/Narcissa, Draco/Scorpius) and the Pottercest pairings involving Harry and his future children (23 out of 62), the majority of incest stories take place between siblings (875 out of 1,065—82 percent).

2014, Vera Cuntz-Leng, “Twinship, incest, and twincest in the Harry Potter universe”, in Transformative Works and Cultures, volume 17:

(fandom slang) Any ship involving members of the Malfoy family from the Harry Potter series in an incestuous relationship.

Twihater

Why can't "Twihaters" like Kim and me just look away from the catastrophe already and find something else to mock?

2009 December 23, JoSelle Vanderhooft, “Sparkly Vampires Are Funny”, in QSaltLake Magazine, page 20:

Bella has also been labeled a bad role model for young girls; she relies on male saviors, her love is obsessive, and she puts her life at risk for a guy, point out the Twihaters.

2010, Liv Spencer, Love Bites: The Unofficial Saga of Twilight, page 17:

Despite the intense rivalry between Twihards and Twihaters, the new parody pleases neither group.

2010, Cari MacPherson & Steve Rau, "'Vampires Suck' fails to bite", Technician (North Carolina State University), 20 August 2010, page 10

(fandom slang) A person who strongly dislikes Stephenie Meyer's Twilight book series or its film adaptations.

Draw and paint your own version of a pukwudgie.

1988, Sharron L. McElmeel, An Author a Month: For Pennies, Teacher Ideas Press:

And so the pukwudgies had the final laugh. They'd beaten the cruel giant, who ended up floating out to sea. The pukwudgies stood on a cliff and waved goodbye, then flew back into the forest.

1997, Clayton Emery, The Tale of the Campfire Vampires, Aladdin Paperbacks, →ISBN:

Yes, the internet is rife with tales of the little people, but that did me little good for finding out more about the Piedmont Pukwudgie or any pukwudgie specific to Alabama.

2018, Wil Elrick, Alabama Lore: The Choccolocco Monster, Huggin' Molly, the Lost Town of Cottonport and Other Mysterious Tales, Arcadia Publishing, →ISBN, page 71:

A creature in Algonquian (Lenape and Wampanoag) folklore, typically said to be a short humanoid with magical abilities; the creatures were once friendly to humans but have become malicious tricksters.


kushtaka

From Tlingit kóoshdaakaa (“land-otter man”).

Written by a non-native scholar, this book contains nine Tlingit and Haida tales concerned with shamans and kushtakas. Land otters were fearful hybrid beings of the spirit world. Able to live on land and in water, they had the special mission of ...

Ordinarily they can't be seen at all, but sometimes kushtakas reveal themselves in elusive shadowy forms; sometimes they are only heard; sometimes the contaminated victim experiences their reality in the furriness of his own arms and legs ...

2003, Mary Giraudo Beck, Shamans and Kushtakas: North Coast Tales of the Supernatural, Graphic Arts Books, →ISBN:

If a body could not be recovered and cremated, a drowning victim might become a kushtaka, a half-man, half-otter changeling that occupies the realm between life and death.

2010, Lynn Schooler, Walking Home: A Traveler in the Alaskan Wilderness, a Journey into the Human Heart, Bloomsbury Publishing USA, →ISBN, page 20:

I learned that kushtakas “saved” drowned people by transforming them into their own kind. Most of the stories told of drowning victims who used their newly acquired supernatural powers to help their living relatives. That seemed pretty benign.

2010, Mark A. Zeiger, Shy Ghosts Dancing: Dark Tales from Southeast Alaska, Yeldagalga Publications LLC, →ISBN, page 85:

A mythical part-otter, part-human shapeshifter, in Tlingit and Tsimshian folklore, sometimes represented as tricksters and at other times as helpful beings who save (and turn) drowning victims.

Buffydom

On the many chatrooms dedicated to Buffydom, fans refer to it as "the incredible shrinking Buffy," most evident during the fighting sequences, when Sarah Michelle Gellar's stunt double (who actually has curves) switches off not-so-seamlessly with Gellar.

2002, Rachel Thompson, "Staking It To The Man", Herizons, Summer 2002, page 25

There are, however, strong roots in Valley Girl expressions and some slayer jargon has been established by both the show itself and the early years of Buffy'''dom online.

2013, Liz Medendorp, “Buffyspeak: The Internal and External Impact of Slayer Slang”, in Jennifer K. Stuller, editor, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, page 67:

The current volume, however, is not only a major contribution to academic Buffydom.

2017, Anahid Kassabian, “Afterword”, in Paul Gregory Attinello, Janet K. Halfyard, Vanessa Knights, editors, Music, Sound and Silence in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, page 249:

(fandom slang) The fandom of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Is Tara the only human character in Buffydom who isn't an only child (not counting the special case of Dawn)?

2000 December 16, Jerry McLaughlin, “Family”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet):

If there is one thing that has been consistant^([sic]) in Buffydom, it is that revenge is not a good thing.

2003 March 26, Dan Armato, “Re: 7th Season Buffy - Lies My Parents Told Me - 5 star poll - SPOILERS AHOY”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet):

Dawn and the others, much like ants, are oblivious to reality and live in the miniscule^([sic]) world of Buffy'''dom (the kingdom of the Slayer), just as we might find ourselves marching like ants through our own lives in mindless routine.

2014, Lori M. Butler, “'The Ants Go Marching': Effective Lyrics in Buffy Episodes”, in Sally Emmons-Featherston, Jim Ford, editors, The Truth of Buffy: Essays on Fiction Illuminating Reality, page 121:

(fandom slang) The fictional universe which serves as the setting for the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.


Bedward

My problems with the series go further than Bedward's "relationship."

2010, Gabrielle Abutom, "'Twilight' is a sick, twisted series", Daily Titan (California State University, Fullerton), 11 October 2010, page 4

When Bedward's desire to touch each other becomes unbearable, the overwhelming sexual tension is handily dispersed into a far less exciting bodily necessity: hunger.

2013 February 12, Poppy Bullard, “In Defence of Twilight, sort of”, in Nouse, University of York, page M5:

Take, for example, Bedward: Edward Cullen and Bella Swan from Stephanie Meyer's Twilight; […]

Adoribull

"Adoribull" Homosexuality

2016, Kim Johansen Østby, "From Embracing Eternity to Riding the Bull: Representations of Homosexuality and Gender in the Video Game Series Mass Effect and Dragon Age", thesis submitted to the University of Oslo, page 319

Firstly, the game only hints at the Adoribull relationship and does not provide more than a dozen dialogue lines, which enables fan writers to develop this relationship freely and divert from the original storyline.

2018 April, Gaspard Pelurson, “Mustaches, Blood Magic and Interspecies Sex: Navigating the Non-Heterosexuality of Dorian Pavus”, in Game Studies, volume 18, number 1, unnumbered page:

I personally, love Adoribull as a ship. I think it is one built entirely on mutual attraction and want, that develops into a proper romance.

2019, "Aslinncosplay", quoted in Olga Svedin, "Fans som bråkar: Fans reaktioner på representationer av queerhet i dataspelet Dragon Age: Inquisition", thesis submitted to Stockholm University, page 38

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Dorian Pavus and the Iron Bull from the video game Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Richonne

Though Glenn and Maggie and "Richonne" are monogamous, heteronormative relationships: one man, one woman, and clear relationship roles, the roles are interchangeable and fluid dependent on the situation.

2017, Amanda Taylor, “Love and Marriage in the Time of The Walking Dead”, in Ashley Szanter, Jessica K. Richards, editors, Romancing the Zombie: Essays on the Undead as Significant "Other", page 87:

The Walking Deads Richone' was a big deal because it elevated Michonne from sidekick to romantic female lead.

2019, Sumiko Saulson, “From Sidekick to Romantic Lead: Rise of the Strong Black Woman”, in Valerie Estelle Frankel, editor, Fourth Wave Feminism in Science Fiction and Fantasy: Volume 2. Essays on Television Representations, 2013-2019, page 93:

Brown's longstanding advocacy for the “Richonne” ship is especially illustrative to consider.

While Leonard has been frequently (and fairly) criticized for her representation of BDSM in Fifty Shades, her inspiration was not merely the Twilight books and films but also the oeuvre of Twilight fanfiction itself, by then a site of cultural production in its own right within which “'Domward” (or a dominating Edward) was in style (Anne Jamison 2013, 184).

From anti- + meme. In the sense of "an image macro which intentionally subverts one's expectations", first recorded in 2009 and now chiefly associated with the r/antimeme subreddit, created February 8, 2012.

I know it's every citizen's civic duty to keep his antimeme vaccinations up to date. But some perverse streak inside me (possibly, now that I think about it, an anti-antimeme meme) made me keep postponing my appointment until it was just too late.

As an antimeme to both Christianity and these secular dominant ideologies, humanism in the West was, by the middle of the century able to gain dominance in what had become, effectively, a vacant niche.

There is in the south a bird, called Yuanchu — do you know it? Starting from the South Sea, it flies to the Northern; never resting but on the wutong, never eating but the fruit of the lian tree, and never drinking but from the purest springs.

redemptionista

In the first place, it is not true that redemptionistas want redemption for Spike to be easy or quick.

2001 July 2, Clairel, “The actual redemptionist position (was Re: Starved for S/B fic on the creative newsgroup?)”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet):

If I see next season true sorrow and compassion from him in regards to his past actions, the redemptionistas will have a convert that they probably don't want.

evilista

OTOH, James differs from most evilistas in that he seems to think that despite all of this, Spike can consistently do good and can be with Buffy.

2001 June 25, Mrs. Poet, “Re: The standard of goodness for Spike”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet):

Redemptionists hope this will be the crisis that forces him to change, evilistas are shrugging it off as typical Spike behavior, and even perhaps showing him in a better light than they thought as he is remorseful.

If you mean that Spikeophiles are wrong to love this fictional character, well, that's just silly.

2002 July 25, Clairel, “Re: New Fury interview: Spike & soul”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer (Usenet):
