lâmia

(Greek mythology) lamia (monster with the body of a woman and the body of a serpent below the waist)


Sao

Presumably named after the nereid (see Etymology 1). H. tubicola was initially assigned to the genus Nereis.

The use of the tube is to protect the body from the pressure of the soft mud in which it stands immersed. When the tube is overset or cast out by the waves or accident, the worm leaves it, and becomes, in its turn, exposed to enemies. To protect itself from these while a new tube is being secreted, nature has amply furnished the Sao with a series of bristling lances on each side. These arms are of exquisite make, very fine and very sharp; and those of the upper bundle have their points bent and inclined towards those of the lower bundle, which are likewise bent to meet them.

1865, George Johnston, A Catalogue of the British Non-Parasitical Worms in the Collection of the British Museum, London: Taylor & Francis, →OCLC, page 138:

Amongst the other genera belonging to this group of Euniceans, there are one or two which inhabit tubes. Such is the Sao (Northia tubicola of Johnston, the Nereis tubicola of Müller), and the Onuphis conchilega of Sars.

1869, William Baird, “The Annelidan Worms, or Annelides (Annelida)”, in The Student and Intellectual Observer, volume 3, London: Groombridge & Sons, →OCLC, page 169:

The family Eunicidæ is distinguished by a long and numerously segmented body, and a distinct and projecting head. […] The Sao, [Northia tubicola] one of this family, lives in a tube which it constructs for itself, and which presents the exact appearance of a quill pen.

1896, Peter Martin Duncan, editor, Cassell's Natural History, volume 6, London: Cassell & Co., →OCLC, pages 230–231:

(rare) Any marine annelid of the genus Hyalinoecia, especially Hyalinoecia tubicola of Europe, which inhabits a transparent movable tube resembling a quill in color and texture.

اللَّات (definite diptote informal singular)
اللَّاتُ (definite diptote nominative singular)
اللَّاتَ (accusative definite diptote singular)
اللَّاتِ (definite diptote genitive singular)

→ Ancient Greek: Ἀλιλάτ (Alilát)

→ English: Allat

Uncertain. Possible etymologies:
* From the root ل ت ت (l-t-t), from which the verb لَتَّ (latta, “to mix, or knead, barley-meal”) is derived. This is the explanation given in Arab lexicographical tradition and supported by epigraphic evidence; compare Hismaic 𐪁𐪉 (lt).
* A feminine form of اللّٰه (allāh) or الإلٰه (al-ʔilāh). This is supported by the form given by Herodotus, who identifies Ἀλιλᾱ́τ (Alilā́t) (which would correspond to *اَلْإِلَات (*alʔilāt)) with Aphrodite Urania, and is explained as having the same ending as some ossified vocative forms like أَخَات (ʔaḵāt) for أُخْت (ʔuḵt, “sister”). However, many gods and goddesses were referred to by the titles الإلٰه (al-ʔilāh) and الإِلٰهَة (al-ʔilāha), and so it is not certain that the goddess referenced by Herodotus is the same.

أَفَرَأَيْتُمُ اللَّاتَ وَٱلْعُزَّى وَمَنَاةَ ٱلثَّالِثَةَ ٱلْأُخْرَى

So have you considered al-Lāt and al-ʿUzzā? And Manāt, the third - the other one?

Of course if they entice the 'Buffy crowd', there'll be a lot of Buffistas reading Jinx High for the first time and complaining about it ripping off the Buffy episode "The Witch" (my first usenet post about Buffy was to abml about a certain rather obvious plot resemplance^([sic]) there).

1924, Lodewijk Opdebeek, "Peters Kind" (part 6, "Muziek"), De Vlaamsche Gids, page 289.

He gently reprimanded him, talked about the nixie and the child-butchering carriage, but Fikske wouldn't let himself get scared of it, he couldn't care less about it all: the little man, down below there, attracted him far too much for that.

Phaedra

Euripides
Hippolytus (play)
Jean Racine
Phaedra (Seneca)
Phaedra (mythology)
Phèdre
Seneca the Younger

From Latin Phaedra, from Ancient Greek Φαίδρᾱ (Phaídrā).
The myth has been retold several times, in plays (in classical times in Euripides's Hippolytus and Seneca the Younger's Phaedra, later in Racine's Phèdre), and more recently in other media.

We notice that Racine's Phaedra, like Euripides', displays high moral dignity because she considers her passion for Hippolytus to be abominable.

1981, Normand Berlin, The Secret Cause: A Discussion of Tragedy, page 46:

Why did Seneca decide to postpone his own Phaedra’s suicide until after Hippolytus' death? The question is by no means as futile as it may sound.

1993, Albert S. Gérard, The Phaedra Syndrome: Of Shame and Guilt in Drama, page 20:

I may add that the notion that Aphrodite is especially cruel because she destroyed Phaedra, who was an innocent victim, since she had no choice, is not a perception that would have been shared by the ancient audience. Not only is it at the very least arguable—in fact likely—that in ancient eyes Phaedra did have a choice,¹⁶⁶ but also the very notions "innocent victim since she had no choice" and "cruel because destroying an innocent victim" are unstable cultural concepts.

2003, Christiane Sourvinou-Inwood, Tragedy and Athenian Religion, page 331:

(Greek mythology) The wife of Theseus, who falls in love with but is spurned by her stepson Hippolytus, then commits suicide, but is the cause of his later death (details vary between versions).

Twimom

For "Twilight" fans, the Runaways' iconic power may be difficult to grasp. (And for many of those girls' Twimoms, it may be difficult to remember.)

2010 April 9, Ann Hornaday, “Kristen Stewart has style and substance in hard-rocking 'The Runaways'”, in The Washington Post:

The next six hours consisted of 40-something-year-old TwiMoms who couldn't wait to get a glance of Carlisle, rude people trying to cut in line, and an insane lady bringing her fussy baby who wouldn't stop crying.

2012, Julith Perry, "'Breaking Dawn' renews series", The Mentor (Manhattan High School, Manhattan, Kansas), Volume 100, Issue 11, 27 November 2012, page 6

Even though we're writing legal teens doing legal things, we did get our fair share of shit for being “TwiMoms” writing “TwiPorn.”

If you look at the town, and around the ever-increasing number of tourists who have come to take pictures with anything that says “Forks,” you will find signs heralding businesses' support of the Twilight books—irresistible to the voracious Twilighter (as Meyer's fans call themselves).

2010, Tracey Baptise, Stephenie Meyer, Chelsea House, →ISBN, page 47:

A prequel on Carlisle would answer all of these questions and give Twilighters a better understanding of the leader of the Cullen family.

2010, Michelle Pan, Bella Should Have Dumped Edward: Controversial Views & Debates on the Twilight Series, Ulysses Press, →ISBN, page 83:

For one “Twilighter” in particular, the friendships she formed formed helped her through a particularly rough patch, when her husband's kidney failed and he was in need of a transplant.

Twifan

Naff ending and slow pacing notwithstanding, you can't really call this swoonfest a terrible movie (unless you want to be tweeted to death by Twifans).

2010 April 8, “To tide over the Twi-hards”, in Daily News, South Africa:

There are even goodies, too, for Twifans whose love of cooking is just as strong as their love for vampires and werewolves.

2010, Amanda McGuire Rzicznek, "'Twilight' cookbook adds spice", The BG News (Bowling Green State University), Volume 104, Issue 159, 7 July 2010, page 8

As any Twifan could tell you, long before Snowqueens Icedragon changed some names in her popular fic “Master of the Universe” and published it as Fifty Shades of Grey by E. L. James, the wank surrounding her, her attitudes, and her relationship to the fandom had already reached epic proportions.

2009 July 16, “An event to sink your teeth into”, in The Charleston Gazette:

Ullr

2013, Samantha-Rae Tuthill, Where Did Old Man Winter, Jack Frost Come From?. Accuweather.com.
"For the Norse mythologies, Ullr was the god of winter. Son of a frost giant, he would rule Asgard in Odin's absence in the winter."

2014, Norse Mythology for Smart People, Ullr
"...Ullr is an excellent archer, hunter, skater, and skier, handsome, warlike, and an especially apt deity to invoke before a duel."

"Ullr is a very old god of the northern lands, so old that by the time the Iron Age Norse myths were written down, not much more was known about him except that he was a god of archery, hunting, and the winter."

2014, Raven Kaldera, Ullr Lord of Winter:

(Norse mythology) An Áss associated with archery and skiing; the stepson of Thor.

Ullr

Ullr

Icelandic: Ullur

Norwegian Nynorsk: Ull

Norwegian Bokmål: Ull

→ Latin: Ollerus

From Proto-Germanic *wulþuz (“glory”), from Proto-Indo-European *wl̥tus (“appearance”), from Proto-Indo-European *wel- (“to see”). Cognate to Gothic 𐍅𐌿𐌻𐌸𐌿𐍃 (wulþus, “glory”) and Latin vultus (“appearance, looks”).

Ullr heitir einn, sonr Sifjar, stúpsonr Þórs. Hann er bogmaðr svá góðr ok skíðfærr svá, at engi má við hann keppast. Hann er ok fagr álitum ok hefir hermanns atgervi. Á hann er ok gott at heita í einvígi.

Ullr one is called, the son of Sif, step-son of Þórr. He is an archer so good, and so fleet on skis, that no man may compete against him. He is also fair of countenance and has a warrior’s equipment. It is also good to call upon him in duels.


sciapod

To the modern viewer, though, it is the weirdness that most enthrals: the rich, demonic and comical features, like the sciapod – a man deploying his single swollen foot to shield himself from the sun.

2012, Simon Garfield, On the Map, Profile Books, page 48:

(Greek mythology) A member of a mythical race of humans living in Africa, who have one single, large foot which they use to shade themselves from the rays of the sun.

ciápode

a member of a mythical African race, who have a single, large foot


dragonlord

"One whom the dragons will speak with," he said, "that is a dragonlord, or at least that is the center of the matter. It's not a trick of mastering the dragons, as most people think. Dragons have no masters. The question is always the same, with a dragon: will he talk to you or will he eat you? If you can count upon his doing the former, and not doing the latter, why then you're a dragonlord."

1970, Ursula K. Le Guin, The Tombs of Atuan:

(fantasy) One who has power over dragons.


Sokar

(Egyptian mythology) An Ancient Egyptian hawk god of the Memphite necropolis.


ŵyll

wylliaid (plural)

منوچهر

desc

→ Middle Armenian: Մանուչար (Manučʻar), Մանիչար (Maničʻar)

Armenian: Մանուչար (Manučʻar)

From Avestan 𐬨𐬀𐬥𐬎𐬱𐬗𐬌𐬚𐬭𐬀 (manušciθra). Akin to Old Armenian Մանաճիհր (Manačihr), an Iranian borrowing.


Seshat

From the Ancient Egyptian šsꜣ "scribe" + feminine determinative t; šsꜣ.t "female scribe".

Seshat represents the organizational capacity of keeping records—knowledge, information, etc.
Seshat is depicted carrying the reed pen and palette, and records deeds in eternity/space, i.e. memory. As such, Seshat is referred to as: The Enumerator, Lady of Writing(s), Scribe, Head of the House of the Divine Books (Archives), Lady of Builders...

2001, Moustafa Gadalla, Egyptian Divinities: The All Who Are the One, page 50:

The link between the measurement of space and measurement of time is also clear from early periods in the activities of the goddess Seshat, the goddess associated with the foundation ceremony, during which the orientation of buildings was established.

2010, Kate Spence, “Establishing direction in early Egyptian burials and monumental architecture”, in Iain Morley, Colin Renfrew, editors, The Archaeology of Measurement: Comprehending Heaven, Earth and Time in Ancient Societies, page 176:

At least eight separate Egyptologists, in addition to myself, have suggested that the ancient Egyptians directly identified Seshat as a form or aspect of Nebt-het (101).

2010, Tamara L. Siuda, Nebt-het: Lady of the House, 2nd edition, page 14:

The most important of these scenes shows the king leaving his palace with the goddess of writing, Seshat, in order to lay out the foundations for the temple.

2010, Zahi A. Hawass, Wonders of the Horus Temple: The Sound and Light of Edfu, page 8:

(Egyptian mythology) The Egyptian goddess of writing and wisdom, often depicted as a scribe or recordkeeper.

Dracula sneeze

From a likening of the positioning of the arm during such a sneeze to stereotypical depictions of the fictional vampire Dracula holding one side of his cape over his face, specifically from Bela Lugosi in Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) and Tom Mason (double for Lugosi) in Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959).

Wang also encouraged the use of the "Dracula sneeze," or sneezing into the crease of your elbow as you bring your arm to your face.

2009 September 9, Patrick Cowles, “H1N1 plagues campuses”, in The Daily Titan, volume 85, number 4, California State University, Fullerton, page 3:

Regarding prevention, the school has begun encouraging sick community members to use the “Dracula sneeze,” sneezing into their elbows to avoid getting germs on their hands and then onto doorknobs and plumbing fixtures.

2009, Jeremy B. Merrill & Russell M. Page, "Swine Flu Hogs Campus Spotlight", The Claremont Port Side (Claremont Colleges), Volume 7, Issue 1, October 2009, page 7

Use a closed fist or assume the Dracula sneeze pose to temper germ transmission.

2011, Phineas Mollod, Jason Tesauro, The Modern Gentleman, 2nd Edition: A Guide to Essential Manners, Savvy, and Vice, Ten Speed Press, →ISBN, page 177:

(informal) The act of sneezing into the crook of one's elbow so as to help prevent the spread of germs.

2006, Informe sobre la fala o gallego-asturiano: una perspectiva histórica, social y lingüística, Academia de la Llingua Asturiana, page 11

Aspects such as the roofs of some buildings made with plants, farmwork in the vineyard, kitchen hearths, the mythology of ayalgues and xanes and even gastronomic elements such as the olio and empanadas are being used in articles and publications by some Galician scholars as probative elements of this supposed border of Galicianness in the river Navia.

Aspeutos como los de les cubiertes vexetales de delles construcciones, la llabranza de les viñes, los llares, la mitoloxía d’ayalgues y xanes y hasta, mesmamente, elementos gastronómicos como’l pote o la empanada vienen siendo usaos n’artículos y publicaciones de dellos estudiosos gallegos como elementos probatorios d’esa pretendida frontera de la galleguidá nel ríu Navia.
