Die Benrather Linie trennt den niederfränkischen vom mittelfränkischen Sprachraum [...]. Das Niederfränkische gliedert sich wiederum in drei Areale, für die sich die Begriffe Kleverländisch, Südniederfränkisch und Ostbergisch anbieten.

2008, Georg Cornelissen, Meine Oma spricht noch Platt: Wo bleibt der Dialekt im Rheinland?, Greven Verlag Köln, inside the chapter Die Benrather Linie: Die „fränkischen“ Dialekte am Rhein und ihre Gliederung, on p. 40 (below quote) and p. 41 (map which shows "Ostbergisch")

Die Dialekte NRWs gliedern sich mit Hilfe der Benrather Linie und der Einheitsplurallinie in drei Sprachräume: Westfälisch (Essen, Bocholt, Dortmund), Niederfränkisch (Kleve, Duisburg, Düsseldorf) und Mitteldeutsch (Köln, Aachen, Siegburg). Essen grenzt an das Niederfränkische bzw. Ostbergische.

Hönig's wb. s. 170 ff.: die wörter Soldat, Säbel, Sanct, Servatius,¹) simpel, Sinter, Sophie, Suppe u. a., sondern auch im Krefeldischen, welches germ. t- nicht verschiebt, also aus sich den laut z- nicht besitzt, wie die von Röttsches § 52 angeführten beispiele zeigen.

pay-neutral

en-adj

pay-neutral (comparative more pay-neutral, superlative most pay-neutral)

more pay-neutral (comparative)
most pay-neutral (superlative)

Certain neoclassical authors consider severance pay "neutral" because the employee can always be made to pay a deposit at the beginning of the wage relation which can be used as severance pay later on.

2008, Revue française de sociologie, volume 48, page 106

If implementing PM can be pay neutral, then isn't it just another way of getting people to work more without paying them more, a latter-day version of the Fame that Wwe have been playing all along? Absolutely not.

2010, Jack Walters, Positive Management: Increasing Employee Productivity, Business Expert Press, page 13

When it comes to single parents, the situation is even worse. Many professional women find themselves in this "pay-neutral" position, as they're often forced to take lower-paid part-time jobs to fit around their children.

2012 September 1, Joanne O'Connell, “Soaring childcare costs see parents working for nothing”, in The Guardian, archived from the original on 2024-04-24

But the rise and rise of the ‘pay neutral’ job - where there’s nothing left even of a decent salary, once the nursery standing order goes out - is finally becoming a hot political potato.

2012 October 9, Gaby Hinsliff, “Can Cameron curb soaring childcare costs to win over women?”, in The Daily Telegraph, archived from the original on 2024-04-24

The cost of childcare in Northern Ireland is leaving parents 'pay neutral', with a single parent spending on average 44 per cent of their weekly income on daycare for one child, according to a new report.

2012 November 28, Katy Morton, “New report questions whether work pays for parents in Northern Ireland”, in Nursery World, archived from the original on 2024-04-24

And a 2013 Family Finances report from insurer Aviva found childcare costs and cuts to benefits have led to more people in "pay-neutral" work – where childcare and travel costs wipe out earnings. Many single parents are forced to take part-time jobs to fit around their children.

2014 January 11, Harriet Meyer, “Childcare costs soar by 19% in just one year – survey”, in The Guardian, archived from the original on 2024-04-24

More people also find themselves in a ‘pay-neutral’ trap, where the income from jobs does not cover the costs of taking them, since they not only lose benefits but must also pay for childcare, transport, suitable clothes and so on.

2014, Guy Standing, A Precariat Charter: From Denizens to Citizens, Bloomsbury Publishing, page 177

Returning to work straight after having a child has, for some, been branded as ‘pay-neutral work’, whereby the costs of childcare and travel consume an entire salary and leave many women essentially working for free.

2018 September 20, “Returning to Work After a Career Break: Why the Stigma?”, in The Women's Organization, archived from the original on 2024-04-24

Justifying excesses in one part of the organization whilst providing explanations as to why expanding job roles elsewhere were apparently ‘pay-neutral’ was no easy task, and it did little to improve employee morale in an organization whose key message was “do more with less”.

2018, Stephen J. Perkins, editor, The Routledge Companion to Reward Management, Taylor & Francis, page 368

(uncommon, of a job) Leaving no significant net income to sustain the household; only covering childcare costs, travel, and other expenses.


techno-fundamentalist

techno-fundamentalist (comparative more techno-fundamentalist, superlative most techno-fundamentalist)

more techno-fundamentalist (comparative)
most techno-fundamentalist (superlative)

Such heady predictions of technological revolution have become so com¬ mon, so accepted in our techno-fundamentalist culture, that even when John Updike criticized Kelly's vision in an essay published a month later in The New York Times Book Review , he did not so much doubt Kelly's vision of a universal digital library as lament it.

2011, Siva Vaidhyanathan, “Copyright Jungle”, in Alison Alexander, Jarice Hanson, editors, Taking Sides: Clashing Views in Mass Media and Society, 11th edition, McGraw-Hill, page 107

Vaidhyanathan suggests that “techno-fundamentalist” faith in technology has led to much suffering, noting that, for Dante, pride was the gravest of the seven deadly sins.

2013, Ken Hillis, Michael Petit, Kylie Jarrett, “Savvy Searchers, Faithful Acolytes, “Don’t be Evil”” (chapter 7), in Google and the Culture of Search, Routledge, page 187

As such the techno-fundamentalist mindset reflects an implicit belief that technology offers a means to substantially improve current forms of everyday life and social relations — including education.

2013, Neil Selwyn, Distrusting Educational Technology: Critical Questions for Changing Times, Taylor & Francis, page 49

(uncommon) Of or pertaining to techno-fundamentalism.

full nest syndrome

Earliest known use is from 1976 (see first quotation below), conceived in opposition to the empty nest syndrome.

Their parents meanwhile have their own adjustments to make. You see, those who were prepared for an attack of the empty-nest syndrome in September are aghast at the symptoms of a full-nest syndrome in November.

1976 November 26, Ellen Goodman, “Half-way house”, in The Lincoln Star, page 4

1985 September 10, Barbara Mathias, “The Full Nest Syndrome: When Kids Come Home to Roost”, in The Washington Post:

In one variation of the full nest syndrome, parents and/or in-laws come to live with the chosen daughter, placing even more demands for nurturance on an already beleaguered middle-aged mother.

1988, Glen O. Gabbard, Roy W. Menninger, editors, Medical Marriages, American Psychiatric Press, page 133

Joyce answered my survey question, "What particularly bothers you about your age?" this way: "Gray hair, wrinkles and a fear that my children are going to live home forever." Doctor Sheila (that's me) has labeled this attribute full-nest syndrome and I'm suffering from it even as I write this book. Full-nest syndrome produces feelings of frustration and depression in parents whose children haven't moved out and show no intention of doing so.

1999, Sheila Rabe, It's a Wonderful Midlife!: Finding the Positives in Aging, Horizon Books, page 41

Some parents may find themselves dealing with the “full-nest syndrome” in which children return to Japan and to their parents, expecting to continue the expatriate lifestyle, much as before.

2011, Joy Norton, Tazuko Shibusawa, Living in Japan: A Guide to Living, Working, and Traveling in Japan, Tuttle Publishing, page 61

I needed a new shelter, a way to spend my nights in the shadow of the Almighty, a time of refuge from family life. When my psychotherapist saw how excited I was about taking al nine-day silent retreat, she said I had full-nest syndrome.

2015, Heidi Bright, Thriver Soup, A Feast for Living Consciously During the Cancer Journey, Sunstone Press, page 176

(uncommon) A feeling of stress, frustration or depression experienced by some middle-aged parents whose adult children haven't moved out from their house.

en-adj

demitarian (comparative more demitarian, superlative most demitarian)

coin

Nitrogen budget of the agricultural system of the Seine watershed for the current situation (2006) and the organic and local (OrgLoc) and organic, local and demitarian (OrgLocDem) scenarios.

2014, Kimberly Etingoff, editor, Organic Agricultural Practices: Alternatives to Conventional Agricultural Systems, Apple Academic Press, page 71

Professor Mark Sutton is credited with coining the concept of a demitarian diet, whereby one reduces meat consumption by half in order to stem environmen tal damage associated with meat production.

2015, Josh Friedland, Eatymology: The Dictionary of Modern Gastronomy, Sourcebooks, page 60

Thus, a group of scientist published the Barsac declaration advocating a “Demitarian diet,” i.e., a reduction by a factor two of the portion of meat and milk in the Western human diet.

Such changes in consumption patterns as a consequence of reduced animal protein intake due to adopting a demitarian diet, may amplify or weaken these effects. Building on the work of Westhoek et al. (2014), these authors considered a demitarian scenario, where European meat and dairy intake were halved, linking this also with potential health benefits associated with avoidance of excessive intake.

dumbwalking

Michael Cucek is a consultant who has lived here for more than 20 years. In his spare time, he writes a popular political blog called Shisaku that has recently been littered with posts about what he calls "dumbwalking".

2014 July 14, Alex Marshall, “Japan enters the era of smartphones and 'dumbwalking'”, in BBC, archived from the original on 2014-07-15

In Japan, smartphones are extremely popular, although they are often demonised in the media. The issue of ‘dumbwalking’ is a serious problem in Japan, although in Japanese it is known as arukinagara (walking whilst [on the phone]).

2018, Richard S. Pinner, Augmented Communication: The Effect of Digital Devices on Face-to-Face Interactions, Springer International Publishing, page 107

(uncommon, humorous) The act of walking while distracted or preoccupied by something else, often looking at a smartphone.


kludgeocracy

en-noun

kludgeocracy (countable and uncountable, plural kludgeocracies)

From kludge + -ocracy. Coined by Steven M. Teles in 2012.

Neither party is immune from the costs of policy complexity: the interests of both liberals and conservatives are ill-served by kludgeocracy.

2012 December 31, Steven M. Teles, “Kludgeocracy: The American Way of Policy”, in New America Foundation, archived from the original on 2024-07-15

Teles suggests that our kludgeocracies be scrubbed clean of regulatory language that obscures rather than enlightens.

2014 April 20, John Sweeney, “Fixes: Too many cooks spoil the soup and too many chiefs spoil the schools”, in Sunday News Journal, 39th year, number 16, Wilmington, Del., page A16, column 4

Despite the complexity and hidden difficulties in our “kludgeocracy,” much can be achieved. By adopting the best principles and practices to be learned from great leaders, today’s public sector leaders can themselves do great work and make great contributions to the nation.

2016, Ronald R. Sims, William I. Sauser, Sheri K. Bias, editors, Transforming Government Organizations: Fresh Ideas and Examples from the Field, Information Age Publishing, page 193

Mike Lind may not agree with much of what is in this book, but his support for Steve's writing on kludgeocracy is a major influence on this book’s argument.

2017, Brink Lindsey, Steven M. Teles, The Captured Economy: How the Powerful Enrich Themselves, Slow Down Growth, and Increase Inequality, Oxford University Press, page 7

The institutional separation in Unites States between executive and legislature is also accused of emergence of “kludgeocracy,” but the phenomenon is equally true in administrative practices of developing nations like India.

2023, Ranvijay Upadhyay, Ethics Integrity And Aptitude in Governance, S. Chand Publishing, page 113

(uncommon, informal) A government characterized by complex, inefficient, and ad-hoc solutions to problems.


pollen vortex

pollen vortex (plural pollen vortexes or pollen vortices)

pollen vortexes (plural)
pollen vortices (plural)

If the constant cold weren’t enough, a brutal winter has many speculating that the polar vortex will be replaced by a “pollen vortex,” leaving allergy sufferers sniffling and miserable.

2014 April 17, “Now a 'Pollen Vortex'? Wild Weather May Mean Allergy Nightmare”, in NBC News, archived from the original on 2024-04-25

2014 April 21, Bahar Gholipour, “'Pollen Vortex'? Long Winter Worsens Allergies in Spring”, in Live Science, archived from the original on 2024-04-25:

A "pollen vortex" was thought to succeed the "polar vortex" of 2014, but a study presented at the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology last fall declared that it didn't happen. In Ontario, Canada, pollen counts were actually lower than they'd been in 12 years, the researchers concluded.

2015 April 10, “Allergy Season 2015: Jury Still Out On So-Called Pollen Vortex”, in ABC News, archived from the original on 2024-04-25

As it warms up, expect everything to bloom at once, creating what allergists call a pollen vortex.

2018 April 22, “Local allergist says pollen vortex is on the way due to weather”, in WSBT-TV, archived from the original on 2024-04-25

Despite a rough beginning, this season might not continue to be so brutal, and the pollen vortex could soon become a distant memory. For now, pollen counts remain high, and people who want help with their symptoms should go see an allergist.

2021 March 26, Jeffrey Kopman, “What Is a Pollen Vortex?”, in The Weather Channel, archived from the original on 2024-04-25

(uncommon) An unusually high concentration of pollen in the air over a relatively short period of time.

gypset

Blend of gypsy + jet set. Coined by journalist and author Julia Chaplin in 2009.

coin

Gypset style is a hybrid of jetsetting (although I prefer globetrotting) and gypsy. I love this look and embrace it regularly. It is forgiving, loose, casual. It’s about collecting fabrics and remnants, carpets and scarves, and draping them on your walls, lamps, beds, floor, and yourself. It is a reflection of a life well traveled and much enjoyed.

2012, Sibella Court, Nomad: A Global Approach to Interior Style, Chronicle Books, page 196

The ‘70s ‘gypset’ look – combining ‘jet set’ with ‘gypsy’ – is globe-trotting, glamorous, luxurious, hedonistic, flamboyant: think floor cushions and incense, artists, rock stars and their entourages, or Talitha Getty posing in shimmering brocade jacket and harem pants on a rooftop in Marrakesh, probably the most quintessentially haute-hippy photograph ever taken.

2015 February 8, Lindsay Baker, “Why the sexy '70s are back”, in BBC, archived from the original on 2024-04-29

Nevertheless, the range of shopping and gastronomy on offer is still remarkable and I fall in love with the gypset fashion, which blends so well with the Californian lifestyle.

2017, Cornelia Pichler, “Let’s Go West: A triple dose of California”, in THE Stylemate, number 3, archived from the original on 2024-04-29

Gypsy and jet set compression, the season of the sun celebrates the era of gypset fashion.

2020 July 6, Clémence Renoux, “5 “gypset” outfits for your summer evenings”, in Do It in Paris, archived from the original on 2024-04-29

Her latest winter-festive edit Painterly is a flamboyant reflection of this vision. The resort wear edit is tailored for a bon vivant gypset who is ready to make a splash at occasions and weddings.

2022 December 8, Priyamvada Rana, “Designer Payal Singhal’s latest edit Painterly will bring the gypset in you for destination weddings”, in Indulgence, archived from the original on 2024-04-29

(uncommon) Of or related to a bohemian, nomadic and sophisticated lifestyle and fashion.

sweatworking

(uncommon) The practice of business networking while taking physical exercise and so working up a sweat.


maranoia

en-noun

maranoia (usually uncountable, plural maranoias)

And if I’m not stewing over a less-than-perfect training cycle then I’m mentally counting down the hours until I need to get up and prepare because, of course, I didn’t sort out my raceday essentials until the very last minute. No matter how many times I sign up, the state of ‘maranoia’ I work myself into is real.

2020, Amy Lane, Edward Lane, I Can Run: An Empowering Guide to Running Well Far, Hodder & Stoughton, page 206

The maranoia, on the other hand - that strange, hypochondriacal pre-race madness that affects marathon runners (and drives their friends and family potty) that’s largely gone, I’m pleased to say.

2021, Vassos Alexander, How to Run a Marathon: The Go-to Guide for Anyone and Everyone, HarperCollins, page 7

It's very common to experience some strange symptoms during the marathon taper. So common, in tact, that the term ‘maranoia’ has been invented to describe it. Heavy legs, aches and pains, symptoms of illness, feelings of anxiety and an unusually high RPE on runs are all frequently reported.

2022, Sam Murphy, Run Your Best Marathon: Your trusted guide to training and racing better, Bloomsbury Publishing, page 200

(uncommon, colloquial) Anxiety, fear, or nervousness experienced by some individuals before or during a marathon.


skip-care

'Skip-care' or 'skin fasting' is being promoted as the latest skincare trend from Korea. But really, dermatologists have been preaching this simplistic approach to skincare for years.

2020 April 8, Lottie Winter, “'Skip-care' is the new streamlining beauty trend that sees a more minimal approach to skincare”, in Glamour UK, archived from the original on 2024-04-29

The philosophy behind skip-care emphasizes on customizing your skincare routine according to how it feels and what it needs. This essentially cuts down unnecessary products, focusing on multi-functional products which serve numerous benefits in a single step.

2021 January 15, “Skip-Care: The Best 2020 Minimalist Skincare Trend to Continue in 2021”, in Laudrés, archived from the original on 2024-04-29

“There’s been a shift away from the very old school multi-step routine,” says Hall. “Skip-care is basically a fancy way of saying that you skip some of the steps. They do that by using products that house a combination of ingredients.”

2023 April 9, Hannah Coates, “5 K-Beauty Trends To Amp Up Your Spring Skincare Routine”, in British Vogue, archived from the original on 2024-04-29

(uncommon) A minimalist approach to skincare in which the amount of products used is minimized to only those essential and necessary for keeping skin health.


skin fasting

The trend toward abstinence and “skin fasting” makes sense, especially in response to the recent product mania of 12-step routines that add a new retinoid, face mask, or serum on a monthly basis.

2019 May 22, Rachel Sacks, “I Tried Skin Fasting, the Latest Skin Trend for Clear Skin”, in Healthline, archived from the original on 2024-04-29

In some cases, skin fasting can be as simple as skipping out on skin-care products once a week at night before bed. However, I opted to try out the more intense version where I skipped all makeup and skin-care products other than water and SPF for an entire week.

2022 July 11, Renee Rodriguez, “I Skipped Skin-Care Products For 7 Days to Try TikTok's Viral "Skin Fasting"”, in PopSugar, archived from the original on 2024-04-29

While proponents of skin fasting might claim that your skin needs time to reset, the delay in results could be frustrating for some individuals who are accustomed to seeing quick improvements from their regular skin care routine.

2023 October 25, Hasina Jeelani, “‘Skin Fasting’ Is Like Putting Your Face on a Strict Diet”, in Glamour, archived from the original on 2024-04-29

(uncommon) Abstinence from skincare products for a determined time period; the temporal reduction or elimination of the use of skincare products.


grip-lit

Coined by Irish author Marian Keyes in a now deleted tweet published on January 31, 2015.

Data shows that it might remain a popular activity in 2016 too, and that, like grip-lit, it might even be here to stay.

2016 January 29, Sophie Hannah, “Grip-lit? Psychological thrillers were around long before Gone Girl”, in The Guardian, archived from the original on 2024-04-29

The result is a ferociously addictive, troubling, seductive read whose title, Thus Bad Begins, fits right into the literary world’s latest trending category, Grip Lit.

2016 February 21, Emma Townshend, “Javier Marías, Thus Bad Begins: 'In the grip of a secret vice', book review”, in The Independent, archived from the original on 2024-04-29

Scotland-based YA author Cat Clarke's sixth novel, Girlhood, ticks many of the boxes we expect to encounter in the "grip-lit" genre: a female protagonist, a dark past, and someone close to the narrator that we're not sure they should trust (and can we even trust the narrator in the first place?).

2017 August 29, Claire Hennessy, “Girl in a boarding school: YA meets grip-lit”, in The Irish Times, archived from the original on 2024-04-29

(uncommon) A subgenre of psychological thriller novels that combine elements of gripping suspense with elements of domestic or psychological drama.

pyjama paralysis

England’s top nurse will launch a drive to end ‘pyjama paralysis‘ on Wednesday (8 March) to give patients back one million days of their precious time that would otherwise be wasted in bed in a hospital or care home.

2018 March 5, “70 days to end pyjama paralysis”, in NHS England, archived from the original on 2024-05-01

The ambition is to end pyjama paralysis and capture, in just 70 days, a million patient days that would otherwise have been wasted in bed in a hospital or care home.

2018 May 10, Ian Peate, “Putting an end to pyjama paralysis: the benefits”, in The British Journal of Nursing, volume 27, number 9, →DOI, page 471

So-called “pyjama paralysis” is of increasing importance with the ageing UK population.

2019 February, F. Rogerson, C. Kendall, “Pyjama Paralysis”, in Age and Ageing, volume 48, →DOI, page i1

The studies favors the education and information of patients, their environment and nursing staff, as well as the function-focused continuation of daily activities and mobility measures tailored to the patient in an activity-enhancing and safe environment, in order to counteract pyjama paralysis and positively influence care-sensitive outcomes.

2022 May 27, Janine Schweber, “The phenomenon “Pajama Paralysis” – trend or evident”, in KiDokS

If your patient does require transport to ED, it is worth considering their discharge planning early. This can be done by documenting the patient's home situation along with social support, lining up family to collect the patient or to be at home for discharge, having a keysafe code documented, packing the patient's clothes to help prevent ‘pyjama paralysis’ and bringing key medications with the patient so that they don’t have to wait for the hospital pharmacy prior to departure.

2021, Richard Pilbery, Paramedic Case Studies: 35 Prehospital Emergencies Explored and Explained, Class Publishing, page 378

‘Pyjama paralysis’ is a loss of strength and function caused by long periods of bed rest. Not getting dressed into day clothes can make you feel like you should stay in bed all day and not actively take part in recovery programmes.

2022, June Andrews, Carers and Caring: The One-Stop Guide: How to care for older relatives and friends - with tips for managing finances and accessing the right support, Profile Books, page 51

(uncommon, healthcare) The influence of nightwear outside rest hours on patients accompanied with long periods of bed rest, resulting in a loss of strength and mobility.

And so, more by accident than design, the women hit on a new domestic set-up: the “mommune”, as it is termed in America.

2018 September 29, Giulia Rhodes, “‘It was like a marriage, only better’: the single mothers who moved in together”, in The Guardian, archived from the original on 2024-05-01

Saltz thinks "mommunes" make a lot of sense, particularly financially for single mothers so they don't have to work extra jobs, can have backup when their child is sick and also give their kids sibling-like companions.

2023 June 2, David Oliver, Callie Carmichael, Ariana Triggs, “'It takes a village': Are 'mommunes' the secret to single parenting?”, in USA Today, archived from the original on 2024-02-06

undertourism

A new index created by Australian travel company Intrepid has revealed the countries suffering from the most "overtourism", along with the nations with "undertourism".

2018 May 24, Kylie McLaughlin, “Countries with the most tourists per head of population: Destinations suffering 'overtourism'”, in The Sydney Morning Herald, archived from the original on 2024-05-01

Undertourism can also mean paying more attention to your surroundings while you’re there—Vienna’s latest marketing campaign urges visitors to ditch their phones and be fully present in the Austrian capital.

2019 September 26, Julia Buckley, “Undertourism: These destinations want your attention”, in National Geographic, archived from the original on 2024-05-01

‘Undertourism’ is the biggest long term issue in North Wales according to a sector expert who believes tackling it can help deal with ‘overtourism’. The issue of ‘overtourism’ has come to the fore over the last two years with the lifting of Covid lockdowns leading to huge surges in visitor numbers to the region.

book stuffing

This practice, known as book stuffing, is paired with a link at the start of the book encouraging readers to click for a bonus story or special message placed at the end of the book. If they do, Amazon counts the whole book as read, even if they have skipped thousands of unread pages, and makes the maximum payout.

2018 June 23, Jacob Aron, “The weird case of book stuffing on Amazon”, in New Scientist, volume 238, number 3183, →DOI, page 10

Amazon clearly wants to address Kindle Unlimited cheating: Their new guideline update follows an April arbitration case in which book stuffing was mentioned, setting a legal precedent against the practice. In order to truly quash book stuffing in the self-publishing community, however, Amazon will need to enforce its own rules.

2018 June 25, Adam Rowe, “Amazon's New Rules Against Book Stuffing Scams Aren't Satisfying Authors”, in Forbes, archived from the original on 2024-05-01

Writers had been aware of book-stuffing for months, but this was something else. When #tiffanygate took off on Twitter, Amazon quietly removed Carter’s books from sale.

2019 March 28, Alison Flood, “Plagiarism, ‘book-stuffing’, clickfarms ... the rotten side of self-publishing”, in The Guardian, archived from the original on 2019-03-29

There are deceptive tactics a ‘scam artist’ can employ, such as ‘book stuffing’, where duplicated or gibberish passages are deliberately inserted to inflate page counts. But for authors who don't intend to mislead, what counts as a page depends not only on their writing but on how Amazon customers read it - or how quickly they swipe to the next.

2023, Astrid Ensslin, Julia Round, Bronwen Thomas, editors, The Routledge Companion to Literary Media, :Taylor & Francis, page RA2-PT487

(uncommon) The practice employed by some self-published authors of artificially inflating the length of their e-books by adding irrelevant content, and thus exploiting e-book platforms' algorithms to increase visibility, rankings, and royalties.

A regular recession is a ‘mancession’, meaning that women’s total labour supply increases relative to men’s, whereas the pandemic recession is a ‘shecession’, with deep employment losses for women.

2020 September 22, Michèle Tertilt, Matthias Doepke, Jane Olmstead-Rumsey, Titan Alon, “The shecession (she-recession) of 2020: Causes and consequences”, in Centre for Economic Policy Research, archived from the original on 2024-05-02

Called the “shecession” by some economists, the coronavirus pandemic is unlike other modern recessions in that job losses are greatest among women, who dominate jobs that cannot be done remotely, like food service, retail and hospitality.

2020 November 2, Katie Surma, “Pandemic recession becomes ‘shecession’ as more working moms are forced to quit jobs Previous”, in Chicago Tribune, archived from the original on 2024-05-02

In widening their investigation to 26 countries in Europe and North America, Doepke and his colleagues reveal that the U.S. was not alone in experiencing a “shecession.”

2022 March 24, Matthias Doepke, “Women at Work: From a Milestone to a ‘Shecession’”, in Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern, archived from the original on 2024-05-02

(uncommon) Excessively high female unemployment.

surface analysis

Ranging in age from mid-20s to late-30s, grandmillennials have an affinity for design trends considered by mainstream culture to be "stuffy" or "outdated"—Laura Ashley prints, ruffles, embroidered linens.

2019 September 4, Emma Bazilian, “The Ultimate Guide to Grandmillennial Style”, in House Beautiful, archived from the original on 2021-06-12

Wall coverings are a big, resounding yes for grandmillennials, and the busier the print, the better. This option from peel-and-stick brand Tempaper will add a whole lot of depth, pattern and lemonade-hued cheer to your space.

2021 April 9, Courtney Thompson, “What is grandmillennial style? Shop the latest home decor trend”, in CNN, archived from the original on 2024-05-01

A grandmillennial is someone who has an appreciation for the detail in older homes, like crown molding, original hardwood floors, or chandeliers. That is so me. I’ve always joked that when it comes to my wardrobe, my personal style is “granny chic.” Now I have a term to describe my interior design style: a combination of granny and millennial.

social hangover

social hangover (plural social hangovers)

Wallace felt the social hangover brought about by the recklessness of American occupation, warfare, and statehood. “We are now like fast boys upon their travels, and our imprudences have brought us into trouble,” he mused.

2004, William F. Deverell, Whitewashed Adobe: The Rise of Los Angeles and the Remaking of Its Mexican Past, University of California Press, page 22

What some people call a 'social hangover' is the feeling of exhaustion after depleting all your energy.

2021 May 14, Kirsty Grant, “Covid lockdown easing: Why am I exhausted after socialising?”, in BBC, archived from the original on 2024-05-03

A social hangover generally feels a lot like a burnout: fatigue, inability to concentrate, some grouchiness. It might hit you like a tonne of bricks or subtly linger throughout the day, in the same way that a substance hangover can vary from “I don’t feel one hundred per cent” right up to “My phone screen is pulsating and my mouth tastes like I ate a pack of cigarettes.”

2021 May 16, Rhys Thomas, “How to tell if you have a ‘social hangover’ (and how to minimise one if you do)”, in GQ, archived from the original on 2024-05-03

To address fatigue effectively, you need to understand what’s causing it. If you’re feeling the fatigue of a ‘social hangover’, the next step is knowing when to say no, and then how to say no.

2023 February 8, “Feeling zonked? You may have a social hangover”, in HBF, archived from the original on 2024-05-03

(uncommon, colloquial) A feeling of exhaustion experienced after excessively engaging in social activities.

doom spending

“People often engage in doom spending after going through a difficult experience as it can allow them to switch off for a moment and get instant gratification,” says Lysn psychologist Nancy Sokarno.

2022 March 7, Sangeeta Kocharekar, “Finding Yourself Shopping More Than Usual These Days? You Could Be Doom Spending”, in The Latch, archived from the original on 2024-05-04

The rise of mobile shopping has also made doom spending almost as easy as doomscrolling. Almost $5.3 billion in sales revenue this Black Friday came from mobile purchases.

2023 November 30, Lakshmi Varanasi, “Shoppers are worried about the economy so they're 'doom spending' to make themselves feel better”, in Business Insider, archived from the original on 2023-11-30

Retail therapy and consumerism in general has long been used for its instant gratification, especially when people are feeling blue. However, doom spending can take it to a whole new level, with people often going into debt or failing to have a minimum level of savings or retirement funds.

take it or leave it alone

Before the 'flu' arrived, some of us may have felt of the motion picture that we could "take it or leave it alone." Our belief is slipping. Now that the excitement of the loan drive is over we begin to realize our deprivation.

There are others who tell how they drank for years without ever getting into any trouble. As social drinkers "they could take it or leave it alone." Then, over time, they found themselves drinking more, and for longer periods of time.

Ha. Aigiarism!

2022 October 26, @CoinWaters, Twitter, archived from the original on 2024-07-22

“I think the rules against AIgiarism should be roughly similar to those against plagiarism,” Graham said in December. “The problem with plagiarism is not just that you’re taking credit away from someone else but that you’re falsely claiming it for yourself. The latter is still true in AIgiarism. And in fact, the former is also somewhat true with current AI technology.”

2022 December 31, Alex Hern, “AI-assisted plagiarism? ChatGPT bot says it has an answer for that”, in The Guardian, archived from the original on 2023-02-08

However, AIgiarism is a form of bypass plagiarism. The wrong of AIgiarism is not so much of inappropriate credit allocation, but the potential propagation of factual and interpretive errors as well as biases, which undermines knowledge acquisition and understanding.

2023 August 26, Bor Luen Tang, “The underappreciated wrong of AIgiarism - bypass plagiarism that risks propagation of erroneous and bias content”, in EXCLI Journal, volume 22, →DOI, pages 907–910

One concern deems text generated by such tools to be plagiarism. Some academics have posited that Al-generated text used by students is plagiarism, or Al-assisted plagiarism or aigiarism[…]

2023 December, Sarah Elaine Eaton, editor, Handbook of Academic Integrity, Springer International Publishing, page 163

The main problem with aigiarism-detectors (and often AI in general) is poor context-awareness. As AI absorbs text from research papers, blogs, and other online sources, software like ZeroGPT may classify much of this material as “Al-generated” soon after a text reaches the internet and is indexed somewhere.

2024 January, Robert Ciesla, The Book of Chatbots: From ELIZA to ChatGPT, Springer Nature Switzerland, page 143

Frequencies and percentages showed that 27% and 57% of students had positive attitudes towards plagiarism and aigiarism, respectively. No significant gender differences in aigiarism were detected.

when they come back on not on list put them on ignorelist

1999 December 27, dee-dee, “contact list”, in alt.icq (Usenet)

Is that a question for me? I have Harry on my ignorelist, and I do not have a webpage with anything on it written by him.

2002 December 12, Corax, “101 Rules of True Satanism”, in alt.satanism (Usenet)

We're partitioning MX hosts by network whitelists, blacklists, ignorelists. I was wondering if we had covered all the mechanisms, or whether another partitioning scheme would need to be considered.

Usenetdom

There IS a FAQ, one of the best in USENETdom, in the archives. We will try to post it on a regular basis. Please help in keeping it updated by suggesting books, items, products, etc.

1992 June 17, Nicolas Alejandro Arauz, “ADMIN: Isn't there a FAQ?”, in sci.virtual-worlds (Usenet)

In terms of USENETdom, I like the offseason better in any of the rec.sport.* groups ...

1993 April 21, Robert John Butera, “Seasons on r.s.bb.c”, in rec.sport.basketball.college (Usenet)

Hardly - I wasn't giving anybody credit. I just like seeing the old Meeks/Lor arguments. They have been one of the few constants in my 6 years of Usenetdom.

1996 July 16, Brian Saunders, “Ed Lor-yer...let's rock!”, in rec.sport.basketball.pro (Usenet)

They're a bunch of "Usenet Performance Artists" that somehow have gotten it in their heads that they'll be able to take over newsgroups. it's pretty much an impossible feat here due to alt5's unique nature in Usenetdom.

1999 April 23, Demi Monde, “Whaer is FAQ for alt5?”, in alt.alt.alt.alt.alt (Usenet)

LOL! I didn't even see his response, 'cause like I do all jerks in Usenetdom, I killfiled him.

2003 July 20, Carleen, “Is Kobe Bryant's wife white?”, in nyc.general (Usenet)

(uncommon) The world or sphere of Usenet.


Usenetism

I sense the birth of a new expression: "JJ"
As in "He's a real JJ!" for referring to people that clog up the net.
Or, "Don't be such a JJ!" I.e., a JJ is a net *sshole

>By the way, thanks and yes you did, and what is "p&e"???
Sorry... usenetism for "Posted and Emailed".

2004 July 6, John Vinson, “SW inventory”, in microsoft.public.access.gettingstarted (Usenet)

It's no more a feature of CF groups than AOL or newsfroup or DH or any of the other assorted Usenetisms that have emerged over the last two decades are specific to any other group.

2004 October 8, Jacqui, “Celebs public about bf'ing”, in misc.kids.breastfeeding (Usenet)

Pron is usenetism for porn. Maybe it was supposed to suggest people too excited to correct a metathesis.

2016 November 13, Siri Cruise, “Class S01E02 The Coach with the Dragon Tattoo”, in rec.arts.drwho (Usenet)

(uncommon, Internet) A term that is peculiar to Usenet.


Usenetese

Retreived from an ancient document, translated to usenetese:
>Don't get your hopes up. After scores of years there are no known holes
>in Kpelerian dynamics... it's always agreed with planetary observations.

1992 June 2, Wayne Throop, “Hypothesis: I am a Transducer (Formerly "Virtual Grounding")”, in comp.ai.philosophy (Usenet)

"Nazi" is usenetese for "Him who agrees not with my rantings".

1994 February 24, John William Chambless, “Douggie's irrelevant idiocies”, in alt.religion.kibology (Usenet)

So it may not be completely appropriate to try to apply the rules of other written English to Usenet communication. The best authority on what is or is not correct Usenetese grammar, in the absence of any scholarly study of it, would be a consensus of Usenetters.

1999 July 31, Matthew Skala, “Is it wrong for family to make me feel like I want to die?”, in alt.kids-talk (Usenet)

You wouldn't shout so in defending them if you believed that. Oh, but then, not having read the netiquette documents, you probably don't even know that all caps is Usenetese for shouting rudely, do you?

1999 November 23, Kent Paul Dolan, “2 year presidential term??”, in az.politics (Usenet)

Of those ISPs who carry the binaries groups, a lot of them have relatively short "expire" times [Usenetese for the amount of time a post will remain on a given news server] of 12 hours to 48 hours.

2002 May 25, Ogden Johnson III, “BBC Radio Version of the Foundation Trilogy”, in alt.books.isaac-asimov (Usenet)

Usenetverse

[…] For it has been brought to our attention that the sorcerer Misc the Amoral has used his powers to corrupt the mind of the champion who defends the split. And once again, Misc the Amoral attempts to gain another foothold in the Usenetverse.

1992 May 12, “Loe & Karmak”, in alt.pub.dragons-inn (Usenet)

And the universes danced on in their infinite dance, but two of them, the UseNetVerse and the RanmaVerse got a little bit intimate in one of the slower dances and decided to find a spare bed somewhere.

1996 September 4, Steven Scougall, “[grit][fanfic] Steve's Story”, in rec.arts.anime.creative (Usenet)

In a parallel Usenetverse, Paulius Stepanas (winner of some other sort of RELEVANCY AWARD) posted a different but equally worthy review in aus.tv, as part of a thread entitled "X-Files - I laughed":

1998 May 25, Kenneth Alexander Finlayson, “X-REPORT: Just read it II”, in aus.tv.x-files (Usenet)

> Why did you post this to the whole damn usenetverse?

1998 July 9, David Martin, “Ray Heizer is "Made" ...Again”, in alt.current-events.clinton.whitewater (Usenet)

Whatever in the usenetverse would make you suspect a thing like that?

2002 January 9, Clarice, “so you're a hag right?”, in alt.fan.jackie-tokeman (Usenet)

Maybe you've hit on the reason that we get so much SF-bordering-on-F with all sorts of pantheons and nobody minds much, but let a story even hint at a universe wherein Christianity is true, and alarm bells go off all over the Usenetverse.

2010 June 8, Dorothy J Heydt, “Creationism in Science Fiction”, in rec.arts.sf.written (Usenet)

(uncommon, Internet, often humorous) The world or sphere of users of Usenet.

Why should so much of television be a cultural barbiturate, a tranquilizer for the ills and anxieties of our age?

Critics mockingly refer to television as a "cultural barbiturate" and joke about "mainlining the tube."
