three sheets to the wind

en-adj

three sheets to the wind (not comparable)

This phrase is derived in reference to sailing and sailing ships, and implies an individual "[u]nsteady from drink" (Smyth & Belcher, 1867; Martin, 2023). The "sheet" referred to is the nautical term for a rope (line) that controls the trim of a sail. The phrase was originally "three sheets in the wind", but also appears in its early examples with the number references "two" and "one", and is thought to derive from the fact that when "sheets [of a sailing vessel] are loose and blowing about in the wind[,] then the sails will flap" such that the boat lurches about "like a drunken sailor" (Martin, 2023). As of the last editing of Gary Martin's entry for the idiom, the phrase was most often presented as it is in the title (i.e., "...to [rather than 'in'] the wind"; Martin, 2023). The attribution of the expression's origin to the form with the preposition "in" is supported by a case of the phrase in print of the "two sheets" variation, in The Journal of Rev. Francis Asbury (1815, entry for 26 September 1813), which recounts the author's travels in the South, in the United States: "The tavernkeepers were kind and polite... [but] sometimes two sheets in the wind." (Martin, 2023). The "three sheets" variation is found in Pierce Egan's Real Life in London (1821), which says "Old Wax and Bristles is about three sheets in the wind." (Martin, 2023). About the variations of the number appearing, Martin states,Sailors at that time had a sliding scale of drunkenness; three sheets was the falling over stage; tipsy was just 'one sheet in the wind', or 'a sheet in the wind's eye' (Martin, 2023). A further example is Catherine Ward's "The Fisher's Daughter" (1824), in which "...Mr. Blust... instead of being one sheet in the wind, was likely to get to three before he took his departure." (Martin, 2023). Hence, "three sheets in/to the wind" describes an inebriated person (Smyth & Belcher, 1867; Martin, 2023) no longer in control, and—at least historically—lesser numbers implying lessened states of incapacity (Martin, 2023).

That late in the evening, he was three sheets to the wind and had long since stopped making sense.

duplicate

en-noun

PIE word
 *dwóh₁
Borrowed from Latin duplicātus, perfect passive participle of duplicō.

(uncountable) The game of duplicate Scrabble.


eleventh hour

eleventh hour (countable and uncountable, plural eleventh hours)

From a parable in the Bible of workmen hired at the eleventh hour (that is, late in the day), known as the Parable of the Workers of the Eleventh Hour or the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard:
* King James Bible, Matthew 20:6 & 20:9:
*: And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? … And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.

If she repented, though at the eleventh hour, it was not too late.

1857, William Makepeace Thackeray, chapter 85, in The Virginians

I have extricated myself so far at many eleventh hours and perhaps there is some hope in this.

1961, Philip Toynbee, Underdogs: Eighteen Victims of Society, page 56

Egypt had managed to bring the two sides to the brink of a deal two weeks ago, before internal political dynamics prompted the Israelis to back out at the eleventh hour.

2009 March 3, Tony Karon, “Why Money Alone Will Not Fix Gaza”, in Time

Thus, the famous title of the dictionary is, at base, derogatory. This explains why Yule kept the title secret until the eleventh hour, why some contemporary reviewers took exception to the title, and why Yule highlighted Burnell’s approval of the title.

2014, James Lambert, “A Much Tortured Expression: A New Look At `Hobson-Jobson'”, in International Journal of Lexicography, volume 27, number 1, page 59

(idiomatic) A point in time which is nearly too late; the last minute.


quadragenarian

/ˈˌkwɑdɹəd͡ʒɪˈnɛɹiən/

/ˌkwɒdɹəd͡ʒɪˈnɛəɹɪən/

From Latin quadrāgēnārius (“containing 40”) + -an, either directly or via French quadragénaire, from Latin quadrāgēnus (“40 each”) + -ārius (“-ary”), from quadrāgintā (“four tens, forty”). Cognate with quadragenary, quadragenarious, and quadragene.

Synonym of fortysomething: a person between 40 and 49 years old.


zero-sum

Of any system where all gains are offset by exactly equal losses.

I waited with occasional glances at my watch until the zero hour should arrive.

Zero hour was forty-five minutes after midnight. Two companies were to attack on a 600-yard front …

1937, Siegfried Sassoon, The Complete Memoirs of George Sherston, London: Faber, page 339 (1972 paperback edition)

She packed my bags last night, pre-flight / Zero hour 9 a.m. / And I'm gonna be high / As a kite by then

zero-sum game

Dalio is right, but somewhat self-serving. If hedge-fund managers are playing a zero-sum game, what is their social utility? […] Can it really be in America’s interest to have so much of its young talent playing a zero-sum game?

2011 July 18, John Cassidy, “Mastering the Machine”, in The New Yorker, →ISSN

A zero-sum game, as its name suggests, is one in which, whatever the outcome, the payoffs to the players add up to zero, which means that what one player gains, the other(s) must necessarily lose.

2013, Andrew M. Colman, Game Theory and its Applications: In the Social and Biological Sciences, Psychology Press, page 55

Listen, I know it's been hard / You know it’s no different for me / We’re less than a zero-sum game now / And baby, we both know that's not how it's supposed to be

2014, “The Writing's On the Wall”, in Hungry Ghosts, performed by OK Go

He said turning a lab-created animal into a wild population would be an “enormous challenge”, but the financial support for de-extinction research should not be seen as a “zero sum game”.

2022 August 16, Adam Morton, “De-extinction: scientists are planning the multimillion-dollar resurrection of the Tasmanian tiger”, in The Guardian

(game theory) A game (or a similar political or economic system) in which the gains of some players must equal the losses of others.

zero tolerance

I get weary of this zero tolerance bullshit. It's annoying. To begin with, it's a fascist concept; it's what Hitler and Stalin practiced. It allows for no exceptions or compassion of any kind. All is black and white—no gradations. But even more important, it doesn't solve anything. The use of such a slogan simply allows whichever company, school or municipality is using it to claim they're doing something about a problem when, in fact, nothing is being done at all and the problem is being ignored. It's a cosmetic non-solution designed to impress simpletons. Whenever you hear the phrase zero tolerance, remember, someone is bullshitting you.

2004, George Carlin, “ZERO TOLERANCE”, in When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?, New York: Hyperion Books, →OCLC, →OL, page 84

The strict policy of enforcing all the laws of a state, or the rules of an institution, and allowing no toleration or compromise even for first-time offenders or petty violations.

the whole nine yards

Dave Wilton summarises the findings of Bonnie Taylor-Blake and others:
:The phrase doesn’t have one particular origin, nor does it represent one particular metaphor. Instead, it seems to have evolved from a sense of yard meaning a vague quantity of something. Later, the words full or whole were attached to it, and even later it was quantified by the numbers six and nine, with the whole nine yards eventually winning out and becoming the canonical form. Use of the full phrase was for a long time restricted to the American Midwest, in particular to the region around the Kentucky-Indiana border, before breaking out into general American parlance in the middle of the twentieth century. …
:So regardless of what someone else has told you, the whole nine yards does not refer to the length of a belt of WWII machine-gun ammunition, the amount of material needed to make a Scottish kilt or a sari, the number of spars on a sailing ship, the amount of concrete a cement mixer holds, or anything else.

Would they want me to vote my conscience or would they want us to unanimously go the whole nine yards, declare him sane and possibly have the trial end up in a death sentence?

2007, Thomas Mchenry, Along the Rails: A Juror's Journey, page 85

WWE went the whole nine yards, from making Tshirts with the slogan to having announcers mention his new handle approximately every four seconds anytime he was on-screen.

2007, R. D. Reynolds, The Wrestlecrap Book of Lists!, page 18

Colleen had gone the whole nine yards, dressing up as a fortune teller, complete with huge gold earrings and a headscarf, which she'd plucked from her normal accessory box, she told Bronte.

2012, Susan Stephens, Working with the Enemy, page 164

All the way; with everything done completely or thoroughly.


ground zero

ground zero (countable and uncountable, plural ground zeroes)

/ˌɡɹaʊnd ˈzɪəɹəʊ/

/ˌɡɹaʊnd ˈzɪɚ(ˌ)oʊ/

From ground + zero, first attested in a June 1946 a report by the United States Strategic Bombing Survey on the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, on August 6 and 9, 1945, during World War II. “Zero” was used as the code name for the location of the Trinity atomic bomb test – the first detonation of a nuclear weapon – in New Mexico, USA, on July 16, 1945.

Some of the construction details (reinforcing rod splices, for example) [in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan] were often poor, and much of the concrete was definitely weak; thus some reinforced concrete buildings collapsed and suffered structural damage when within 2,000 feet of ground zero, and some internal wall paneling was demolished even up to 3,800 feet.

1946 June 19, U.S. Strategic Bombing Survey, “The Effects of the Atomic Bombings”, in The Effects of the Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, [s.l.]: Chairman’s Office, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2021-08-10, page 5

Oh, what a racket! And everything on deck apparently at sixes and sevens. Mail-bags and passengers mixed up in every direction.

1912, Arthur Quiller-Couch, chapter 23, in Poison Island

A few days after the battle started, we abandoned Pa-chung County. The enemy troops were elated and boasted of their victory. In fact, the loss of Pa-chung County was a great setback for us. The local people, seeing our departure, could not help wavering. Even those engaged in the work of the Soviet government were not altogether clear about the strategy of our army. They were at sixes and sevens, and some went to such lengths as to make preparations for the eventuality that the Red Army might back out of northern Szechwan.

transcendental number

en-noun

transcendental number (plural transcendental numbers)

algebraic number

algebraic number (plural algebraic numbers)

The golden ratio (φ) is an algebraic number since it is a solution of the quadratic equation x²+x-1=0, whose coefficients are integers.

The square root of a rational number, √, is an algebraic number since it is a solution of the quadratic equation nx²-m=0, whose coefficients are integers.

Thus, the equation x-eʸ#x3D;0 is satisfied for x#x3D;1,#x5C;y#x3D;0 and for no other pair of algebraic numbers.

1918, The American Mathematical Monthly, volume 25, Mathematical Association of America, page 435

As a matter of fact, it is not true that the algebraic numbers above can be factored uniquely, but the first case of failure occurs when p = 23.

1921, L. J. Mordell, Three Lectures on Fermat's Last Theorem, page 16

(i) It is easily checked that the set of all algebraic numbers is countable, whereas the set of all complex numbers is uncountable (this non-constructive proof goes back to Cantor).

1991, P. M. Cohn, Algebraic Numbers and Algebraic Functions, Chapman & Hall, page 83, The existence of such 'transcendental' numbers is well known and it can be proved at three levels

(algebra, number theory) A complex number (more generally, an element of a number field) that is a root of a polynomial whose coefficients are integers; equivalently, a complex number (or element of a number field) that is a root of a monic polynomial whose coefficients are rational numbers.

quintal

From quint- (“five, fivefold”) + -al (“forming adjectives”).

Furthermore, if the number-incorporated pronouns are analyzed as grammatically marked for number, distinct grammatical categories for trial, quadral and quintal must be posited.

2002, Kearsy Annette Cormier, Grammaticization of Indexic Signs: How American Sign Language Expresses Numerosity, page 69

In UgSL, we find a complete set of forms for dual, trial, quadral and quintal in several paradigmatic contrasts.

2014, Sam Lutalo-Kiingi, A Descriptive Grammar of Morphosyntactic Constructions in Ugandan Sign Language (UgSL), page 198

All in all, this suggests that in LSC the differences observed in the motion taken by exact number pronouns is not grounded in a fundamental distinction between the dual vs. the trial, the quadral and the quintal.

2023, Raquel Veiga Busto, Person and Number: An Empirical Study of Catalan Sign Language Pronouns, page 164

In sign languages, on the other hand, trial, quadral and quintal forms such as found in UgSL are not uncommon.

Moreover, trial, quadral and quintal forms are given an identical status as number values in the pronominal domain.

Borrowed from Medieval Latin quintāle (“various medieval hundredweights”), from Andalusian Arabic and Arabic قِنْطَار (qinṭār, “100 rottols”), from Classical Syriac ܩܰܢܛܺܝܪܳܐ (qanṭīrā) and ܩܰܢܛܺܝܢܳܪܳܐ (qanṭīnārā), from Byzantine Greek κεντηνάριον (kentēnárion), from Latin centēnārium (“100 Roman pounds”), from centēnī (“100 things”) + -ārius (“-ary: forming related adjectives”). Doublet of centenario.

bor+

oodles

en-noun

oodles pl (normally plural, singular oodle)

Uncertain; perhaps from scadoodles (“unspecified large amount, number, or quantity”) (US, slang) (although the Oxford English Dictionary notes this is attested slightly later), or from boodle (“whole collection or lot”) (US, dialectal), caboodle (“large collection of people or things”) (US, slang) + -s (suffix forming pluralia tantum).

"Along the lake where I went camping once there were oodles of a bright purple thing." / "I don't know what that was," my mother said. "I've never lived near the water. The purplest thing around here is joe-pye weed. We can look him up and see if he has any relatives. Come to think of it, the book had a color index."

1965, John Updike, Of the Farm, Ipswitch edition, London: André Deutsch, published April 1973, page 121

Minimalist yet soothing décor, private pools and steam rooms […] and simply oodles of class make this one of the island's top choices. Honeymoon, anyone?

2008, Andrew Burke et al., Thailand’s Islands & Beaches, 6th edition, Footscray, Vic.: Lonely Planet, page 323

(originally US, informal) Chiefly followed by of: an unspecified large amount, number, or quantity; lots, tons.

From Proto-Baltic *eynos (with ey > ie metathesis; note that some 17th-century Kurzeme and Zemgale dialects still had some forms with ey), from a Proto-Indo-European *éyno-, *éynos, from *éy, *óy (“he, it”) (non-Baltic cognates derive from o-grade *óy; compare Proto-Indo-European *h₁óynos (“one”)) with a suffix *-nos, which originally had an adjectival meaning. The Eastern Baltic cognates (unlike Old Prussian) have an initial v, which suggests an intermediate Eastern Baltic form *weynos. This initial *w may result from sporadic word-initial consonant-joining phenomena, or from a possible particle *w-, *we-.
Cognates of viens include Lithuanian víenas, Old Prussian ains, Gothic 𐌰𐌹𐌽𐍃 (ains), German eins, English one, Old Irish oín, Ancient Greek οἰνός (oinós, “one (when throwing dice)”), Latin ūnus (< *oinos). From the form *eynos comes also Proto-Slavic *inъ, *edinъ, *edьnъ (“one”) (Old Church Slavonic ѥдинъ (jedinŭ), ѥдьнъ (jedĭnŭ), Ukrainian, Russian оди́н (odín), Belarusian адзі́н (adzín), Bulgarian еди́н (edín), Czech, Slovak, Polish jeden.
