lamie

From Latin lamia, from Ancient Greek Λάμια (Lámia).

brolic

en-adj

brolic (comparative more brolic, superlative most brolic)

more brolic (comparative)
most brolic (superlative)

Reportedly coined in reference to the extremely muscular character Broly from the Dragon Ball anime franchise, with the suffix -ic. Broly is a transliteration of the Japanese ブロリー (Burorī), itself coined as a pun on the English broccoli, a theme used in the naming of members of the fictional Saiyan alien species (e.g. Vegeta, from vegetable).

Lonnie and Shotgun Pete had beef with Black Boy, a big brolic drug dealer from Thomasville Heights, the projects up the street from Atlanta Federal Penitentiary, not far from Englewood.

2005, Ca$h, Trust No Man: Loyalty To Those Who Are Loyal, unnumbered page

He was mad brolic. Since he been in prison, he didn't have nothing else to do but work out.

Soulslike

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

From Souls + -like, referencing the Dark Souls video game series, after the pattern of roguelike (“any of a genre of computer role playing games influenced by Rogue”).

Amid the tsunami of Soulslikes, Deck13's The Surge stands out as the one game to take the genre in a new direction.

2018 April, “The Surge 2 gets tooled up”, in PlayStation Official Magazine, UK, page 11:

And that's what you ultimately want from a soulslike. Challenge, struggle, and ultimate triumph. And in that sense, "Hollow Knight" is a soulslike.

2020 April 28, James Hamilton, “Hollow Knight Video Game Review”, in TechNews, Illinois Institute of Technology, page 13:

Scorbus

Because of this, some commentators are suspicious that the appetite for a Scorbus romance was not unknown to those catering to it.

2016 August 16, Ilana Masad, “Harry Potter and the Possible Queerbaiting: why fans are mad over a lack of gay romance”, in The Guardian:

For Harry Potter fandom, the idea of a romantic relationship (or ship) between Albus/Scorpius or "Scorbus," the ship's portmanteau, is nothing new.

2018, Emily E. Roach, “Harry Potter and the Cursed Closet: Queerbaiting, Slash Shipping and The Cursed Child”, in Amanda Firestone, Leisa A. Clark, editors, Harry Potter and Convergence Culture: Essays on Fandom and the Expanding Potterverse, page 133:

For years, Scorbus fans had almost no canonical information with which to base their fan works, therefore fics varied wildly in characterisation.

2019, Beatriz Brito do Nascimento, "No heteros in this heterotopia: Harry Potter slash fanfiction as heterotopian space", dissertation submitted to the University of Porto, page 98

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Scorpius Malfoy and Albus Potter of the Harry Potter franchise.


Severitus

In the early 2000s, a fan going by the pseudonym Severitus (presumably constructed from Severus + -itis) issued a challenge requesting fanfics with several specific elements, including Snape being revealed as Harry's true father. This became known as the Severitus Challenge, which was later shortened to Severitus, and came to refer exclusively to the paternity trope.

Arguably Snape's lifelong obsession with Lily in canon is more disturbing than the least imaginative and most derogatory Severitus conception, the drunken one night stand.

2007 September 5, A. G. McDowell, “Re: The Future of Fan Fiction”, in alt.fan.harry-potter (Usenet):

Unlike the other Severitus fanfics analysed in this chapter, there is not a simple progression from dislike to affection and family feeling.

2011, Suzanne Passmore, "Rereading the Magical World of Harry Potter: Fanfiction as an Alternative Critical Modality", thesis submitted to the University of Western Australia, page 52

[…] and in making Lily break her vows to James, Severitus fanfiction authors undermine the status of the heteronormative family in the original series.

2015, A. J. Koning, "The Famous and Their Followers: Fanfiction as an Alternative Form of Literary Criticism", thesis submitted to Utrecht University, page 22

(Harry Potter fandom slang) A subgenre of Harry Potter fanfiction in which Severus Snape is the biological father of Harry.


EWE

en-noun

EWE (countable and uncountable, plural EWEs)

A collective desire to explore some of the themes Rowling hadn't satisfactorily addressed helped fuel the development of hundreds of “Epilogue, What Epilogue?” (EWE) fanfics following the publication of Deathly Hallows.

2009, Peggy Lin Duthie, “The Potterverse and the Pulpits: Beyond Apologia and Bannings”, in Giselle Liza Anatol, editor, Reading Harry Potter Again: New Critical Essays, pages 45–46:

'EWE' (Epilogue-What Epilogue?) fics are similar to some AU stories in that they ignore the often-disliked epilogue of Rowling's Deathly Hallows, and instead create their own future of the Wizarding World.

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 280:

Bringing beloved characters back to life is one of the most recurrent elements of EWE fics, […]

2019, Beatriz Brito do Nascimento, "No heteros in this heterotopia: Harry Potter slash fanfiction as heterotopian space", dissertation submitted to the University of Porto, page 120

Rowlingesque

en-adj

Rowlingesque (comparative more Rowlingesque, superlative most Rowlingesque)

more Rowlingesque (comparative)

Part of the fun of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books are the names she comes up with; the author said in a recent online chat that she’s amassed dozens of notebooks where she jotted down unusual names she saw or thought up. Here are the Rowlingesque meanings behind a few:[…]

2000 July 1, The Detroit News, page 16C:

[…]Scamander’s account is clearly rooted in the ancient descriptions, with some Rowlingesque revisions in the role of Herpo the Foul (“a Greek dark wizard and Parselmouth” who create the first Basilisk (3), among other things[…]

2005, Cynthia Whitney Hallett, Scholarly Studies in Harry Potter: Applying Academic Methods to a Popular Text, The Edwin Mellen Press, →ISBN, page 69:

Mr. Larsen’s Hairy Pothead learns to play Qannabbi instead of Quidditch, meets Delirious Bake instead of Sirius Black — and on it goes with other Rowlingesque characters such as Master Head Alwaze Duinthadope.

2007 September 21, National Post, volume 9, number 276, page A8:

The book contains such typically Rowlingesque characters as tree stumps with eyes and hairy hearts, and includes a frontispiece noting that the stories were “translated from the original runes.”

2007 November 2, “Rowling bids farewell to Harry for charity”, in The Ottawa Citizen, page A10:

Strong sales (a combined 143 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list) and some serious online obsession from teen girl fans have vaulted Meyer to Rowlingesque heights of popularity;

2008 July 30, John Burns, “Twilight Saga fans prepare for Friday midnight release”, in The Vancouver Sun, page D3:

Why, then, are we so wedded to the romantic illusion of authors as poor, tortured, hungry souls, labouring in unheated garrets until the day they are discovered and rewarded with fairy[-]tale fortunes of Rowlingesque proportions?

2010 February 16, “Now we can all believe in ghostwriters”, in The Daily Telegraph, page 20:

The emphasis in the script by Steve Kloves (a credited contributor to all but one of the Potter screenplays) is on intensity, as Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and best friends Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint — a Rowlingesque name in its own right) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) make their way back to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, in hopes of destroying the last of the magical “horcruxes” that contain the divided pieces of Voldemort’s soul.

2011 July 14, John Beifuss, “‘Deathly Hallows: Part 2’ ends Potter saga”, in The Commercial Appeal, page M4:

2010’s “The Lightning Thief” was way too Rowlingesque, a fantasy-adventure set in a magical boarding school directed by “Potter” vet Chris Columbus.

2013 August 9, The Anniston Star, volume 133, number 221, page 4B:

The classroom had been transformed to look like one from Hogwarts, with cobwebs and ‘traditional desks’ and one student teacher was performing the role of a ‘Rowlingesque’ potions teacher quite beautifully.

2016, Adrian Copping, Being Creative in Primary English, SAGE Publications, page 17:

And more intimately, the Rowlingesque celebration of discovering kinship in the unlikeliest places, and being who you are without apology.

2016, Ian Nathan, Inside the Magic: The Making of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, HarperCollins:

My sixth novel didn’t do so well with the critics, though the sales were Rowlingesque.

2018, Ian McEwan, My Purple Scented Novel, Vintage, →ISBN:

Another retooled technique is that of fantasy or fairy tale, now used not for the purposes of magic realism but by a novelist like Hamid in Exit West (2017), as his characters commute between war zones and other places, through magic doors reminiscent of Rowlingesque portals.

2021, Justin Quinn, Gabriela Kleckova, “Introduction”, in Anglophone Literature in Second-Language Teacher Education: Curriculum Innovation through Intercultural Communication, Routledge:

Characteristic of J. K. Rowling (born 1965), British author, philanthropist, film producer, and screenwriter.


horcrux

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Lord Voldemort

Coined by author J. K. Rowling through the random "transposition of syllables," though fans have pointed to the possible influence of Middle English hore (“iniquity, evil, sin”) and English crux (“the central or essential part”). The term first appears in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2005).

They stared at it as if it was the one ring or the holy grail or a horcrux, or perhaps all of them rolled into one. An empty, plastic cat food bowl.

2013, Adam Rawlins, The Strange Encounter of Sally Shakespeare and Toby Tinker, page 24:

They were standard fit, vintage wash, pretty expensive, and I showed them to him and I said, “These are yours if you want them.” And do you know what he did? He actually flinched. Like these were haunted pants or something. Like these were Horcrux jeans with a piece of Lord Voldemort’s soul in them.

2013, Teddy Steinkellner, Trash Can Days: A Middle School Saga, page 20:

Again, he didn’t say anything and she asked him about the arrowhead—was it his Horcrux or something? was there a piece of his soul trapped inside it?—and he shrugged it off.

2016, Joe Halstead, West Virginia, page 38:

In the Harry Potter series, an object in which a wizard has concealed a part of their soul through magic, rendering them immortal until the object is irreparably damaged or destroyed.

A mageocracy like the Setharii Empire was probably not the most efficient of governments, but nobody else could ever dream of controlling the hundreds of Gifted throughout the empire.

The archcommander caught his arm and tried to draw him away, counseling caution, but the enraged Patrician shook him off, saying, "He gave you this place that should have been your prison and turned it into a palace, let you work your damned unnatural magics wherever you pleased, let you recruit more of your own kind...”

Isonade

/ˌiːsəʊˈnɑːdeɪ/

Transliteration of Japanese 磯撫で (いそなで, Isonade, literally “shore stroker”).

translit

With more than 70% of the Earth's surface submerged beneath water, it comes as no surprise that throughout history mankind has been fascinated with the seas and oceans. In earlier years this fascination manifested itself in the form of fear and mystery; […] in Japanese stories, fierce winds would blow whenever Isonade, a shark-like sea monster, appeared.

2009 June, Marios Christou, “Introduction”, in Fully Nonlinear Computations of Waves and Wave-structure Interaction (unpublished Ph.D. thesis), London: Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Imperial College London, →DOI, →OCLC, page 25:

Another Japanese giant fish is Isonade, a sharklike sea monster that causes strong winds and also capsizes boats or catches unwary fishermen with the hooks on its huge tail.

2011, Gene Helfman, Bruce Collette, “Fishes in Stories and Literature”, in Fishes: The Animal Answer Guide, Baltimore, Md.: Johns Hopkins University Press, →ISBN, page 131:

Nipponese sailors traveling along the western coast of Japan are warned to keep a weather eye open for the Isonade, akin in form to a huge shark with hook-like barbs on its tail. Much as the giant namazu catfish of Japanese legend is associated with earthquakes, the movements of the gigantic Isonade are said to be the source of sudden changes in sea currents and winds from the north.

swordmage

From sword + mage. Rarely used before December 2007 (or November: see quotation), when it was included in the first preview of the Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition, Wizards Presents: Races and Classes.

However, IMC, magic is treated as a form of energy that can be shielded or grounded by various metals (e.g. soft iron) before it is converted into another form. That's why elvish swordmages can use elfin chain - it is a 'magical' metal, one which acts as a magical superconductor and an electrical semiconductor. That's also why high concentrations of transition metals in unbroken or closely-arranged arrays will retard the casting of a spell.

1998 September 22, Autolycus, “Mages/armour rules”, in rec.games.frp.dnd (Usenet):

Nearly two dozen of Evermeet’s swordmages lay writhing on the ground, their palms pressed to their ears in a futile attempt to shut out illithid mind blasts, but Khelben did not pause to hurl any spells into that quarter of combat.

He was a swordmage, one who could wield a steel blade in one hand and the full power of the sphere in the other.

cecaelia

Apparently coined around 2007 on a discussion thread on Seatails, a mermaid-enthusiast messageboard created by Kurt Cagle, who created a Wikipedia article on the cecaelia (originally “Cecælia”), inspired by Cilia (a cilophyte in “Cilia”, a seven-page short comic story published in issue #16 of the Vampirella comic magazine, released in March of 1972), cilophyte, Coleoidea, and the song “Cecilia” by Simon and Garfunkel, about a fickle and demanding lover (according to Cagle).

During planning for the film, Ursula was not originally designed as a cecaelia (a composite mythical being, combining the head, arms and torso of a woman, and from the lower torso down, the tentacles of an octopus or squid as a form of mermaid or sea demon). It was thought that she would be another sea creature, such as a rockfish-like mermaid.

2010, Joshua C. Shaffer, Discovering the Magic Kingdom: An Unofficial Disneyland Vacation Guide, AuthorHouse, →ISBN, page 40:

A mundane company had hired him to summon up a cecaelia demon. For the amount of money they were paying, and considering that cecaelia demons were lesser demons who could scarcely cause all that much fuss, Magnus had agreed to not ask questions.

2013, Cassandra Clare, Sarah Rees Brennan, What to Buy the Shadowhunter Who Has Everything (And Who You’re Not Officially Dating Anyway) (The Bane Chronicles), Margaret K. McElderry Books, →ISBN:

A spear of flame lanced out to strike the cecaelia. It shrieked and writhed as the heat seared its flesh, dropping its spear to bat at the smoldering wounds. Torius took the opportunity to drive his cutlass up into its chest. Still the thing clutched him, tentacles wrapping his arm and snaking around his neck. Celeste darted forward, but before she could reach him, an arrow transfixed the cecaelia’s head, and it fell.[…]She had seen that the pirates outnumbered the cecaelias, but the longer reach of the invaders’ spears and their entangling tentacles were wreaking havoc.

2013 April, Chris A. Jackson, “A Surprise Engagement”, in Pirate’s Honor (Pathfinder Tales), Paizo, →ISBN, pages 113–114:

An officious Cecaelia rapped the floor of the platform sternly and called the court to order. After a few more raps and some stern looks, there was silence. She bowed deeply to Atlantica who bid her to continue with a wave.

Ursula’s form is a cecaelia, a half human and half octopus.

2015, Harpa Omarsdottir, “Ursula”, in Disney Villains Hairstyles & Looks, Edda Publishing USA LLC, →ISBN, page 6:

While the Disney’s corporate Wiki site page on Ursula identifies her as a “villainous cecaelian sea witch” and characterises the cecaelia as “a legendary hybrid of human and octopus”, the figure of a monstrous tentacled female has little precedent in Western mythology or folklore. Rather than deriving from these sources, the cecaelia is a more modern figure that developed as a distinct entity within a dispersed node of fantasy aficionados and artists.

With their tentacles, their upper torsos hung well above the water.[…]Cecaelia are said to have bodies free of bones (though not true) because of their seemingly impossibly fast movements, flexibility, reflexes, and speed.

quadball

en-noun

quadball (countable and uncountable, plural quadballs)

International Quadball Association
J. K. Rowling

From quad- (“four”) + ball or quad + ball. The sport sense was introduced in 2022 by the International Quadball Association, formerly the International Quidditch Association, with quad- chosen in reference to the number of balls and positions in the game. The IQA cited concerns over the trademarked status of Quidditch and a wish to distance itself from the "anti-trans positions" of J. K. Rowling.

“This is an important moment in our sport’s history,” said Chris Lau, chair of the IQA board of trustees, in a statement. “We are confident in this step and we look forward to all the new opportunities quadball will bring.”

2022 July 20, Adela Suliman, “Quidditch is now quadball, distancing game from J.K. Rowling, league says”, in The Washington Post:

Major League Quidditch and US Quidditch will now be known as Major League Quadball and US Quadball respectively.

Quidditch, the sport of boarding school wizards riding broomsticks in “Harry Potter,” will become “Quadball” to the humans who play the game in real life, its leading organizations said on Tuesday.

Love Harry Potter? Then check out the quadball championship that combines elements of rugby, basketball and dodgeball. The MLQ Championship is the league’s signature event

(sports, uncountable, neologism) A co-ed contact ball sport created as a ground-based adaptation of Quidditch, featuring the same positions, balls, and goals as the fictional sport, but with the players clutching broomsticks and a human "snitch runner" carrying the snitch (an autonomous magical device in the Harry Potter novels).

Africanjujuism is a subcategory of fantasy that respectfully acknowledges the seamless blend of true existing African spiritualities and cosmologies with the imaginative.

2019, Nnedi Okorafor, “Africanfuturism Defined”, in Nnedi's Wahala Zone Blog:

Last but not least, the choice of Afrofuturism in this article rather than Africanfuturism and Africanjujuism is also a pragmatic one—there simply exist more scholarly analyses to draw upon.

To describe the Draco Trilogy is to locate this particular fan fiction as “het” with “harry/ draco” undertones and is the origin of the “Draco in Leather Pants” trope.

2013, Antero Garcia, Critical Foundations in Young Adult Literature: Challenging Genres, page 127:

One of the most common ones is the notion of Draco as an elegant young man with long silky hair, the ideal aristocrat, with only a streak of mischief, which is often represented as “Draco in leather pants”.

2014, Lucie Cupalová, "Slash Factor: Characteristics and Varieties of Slash Fan Fiction", thesis submitted to Charles University, page 28

Nonetheless, fanon from such fandoms as Harry Potter becomes well known, such as Ginny’s full name being Virginia, Draco embodying the “Draco in leather pants” trope, Dumbledore and Grindelwald being romantically involved, etc.

2016, Alexander Garner, "The Erotics of Fanfiction: Queering Fans, Works, and Communities in Modern Internet Fandom", thesis submitted to Bowling Green State University, page 80

(fandom slang) Any fanon interpretation of the character Draco Malfoy that portrays him as a romantic "bad boy" or otherwise downplays his unfavorable qualities.

dwarrowdam

Coined by online Tolkien fans in the early 2010s, from dwarrow, an alternate word for the fantasy race of dwarves in Tolkien's legendarium, and dam (“female parent, mother”).

Kiaran stands at the heart of the room, speaking to a dwarrowdam with fiery red hair.

2014 May 1, LineofDurin (@Tiorvi), Twitter:

Goodnight dwarrows and dwarrowdams. As well as all others. I am retiring to my chambers for the eve. Court shall be held tomorrow.

2014 December 16, King Thrór (@Actual_Thror), Twitter:

Samila smiled and he sensed that this dwarrowdam was tougher than flint and able to go whatever lengths necessary to save her people.

2017, Anne Olga Vea, A Dragonslayer's Tale, page 472:

(chiefly Tolkien fandom slang, fantasy) A female of the dwarf race.

knife ear

Whatever people thought or said about the elves, whatever slurs and indignities they hurled at the “knife ears,” they still had to acknowledge that they owed their nations survival and the existence of their lineages to his selfless slaying of the Archdemon Andoral.

2019, Liane Merciel, Dragon Age: Last Flight Deluxe Edition, page 152:

The cafeteria fell into silence and everyone turned their faces towards the elf. “Damn knife ears,” someone mumbled. The twins looked at the man with glasses and pointy ears.

(fantasy, slang, derogatory) Alternative spelling of knife-ear.
