fairy hill

On this Hill [...] are the Remains of a CAMP, and where the Ground has suffered no Rupture are to be seen Tokens of circular Tents, called Fairy Hills, round which the vulgar report these Sylphes were wont to dance.

1754, Thomas Gardner, An Historical Account of Dunwich, Antiently a City, Now a Borough, page 189:

Their Fairy hills were called Tomhans and Shian, and were supposed to possess great internal comforts, with doors and windows that could only be discovered on dark evenings, by the bright light of the fairy fires shining through the artfully-constructed apertures.

1865, Cuthbert Bede, The White Wife: With Other Stories, Supernatural, Romantic and Legendary, page 189:

Finally, as regards the places in which these rites and mysteries may have been held, certain writers believe them to have been the "Fairy Hills" or "howes" in various parts of Scotland.

1928, Lewis Spence, Mysteries of Britain, page v. 136:

(folklore) A hill, barrow (tumulus), or other circular eminence, beneath which fairies live.

landsider

What else but the quest for knowledge would tempt a sane person away from a comfortable home? What else would persuade a landsider to take to the ocean, except the chance of getting to meet more strangers in a shorter time?

1983, John Brunner, The Crucible of Time, New York, N.Y.: Del Rey Books, →ISBN, page 103:

He wanted to stop at Petra's bunk and tell her about his home, about what his birthdays were usually like, just tell her it was his birthday so she'd say something about it being a happy one. But nobody told birthdays. It was childish. It was what landsiders did.

1985, Orson Scott Card, Ender's Game, London: Century Publishing, →ISBN, page 101:

We'll be going out with the tide, with an extra five knot of current running where the river is usually slowest. I just thought you might be in a hurry to move at this end, what with the way your friends are keeping out of sight down with the codfish smell. The way I hear tell, you landsider don't favor fish odor too much.

1987, Glen Cook, Sweet Silver Blues, New York, N.Y.: Roc Books, →ISBN, page 82:

Not a man I'd trust alone with her, you understand. Not a man I trust entirely on anything—too involved with the landsiders, the traders, the political people.

1988, Thomas T[hurston] Thomas, An Honorable Defense, New York, N.Y.: Baen Books, →ISBN, page 108:

It is easy for the landsider to forget that seafarers came in many disguises. We tend to think of officers and ratings — deck sailors. We might, if pricked, think about the engine room crew — who with the onset of oil, then diesel, just kept on shrinking per ship.

1993, Tim Madge, Long Voyage Home: True Stories From Britain's Twilight Maritime Years, London […]: Simon & Schuster, →ISBN, page 146:

(chiefly science fiction or fantasy) Someone who lives on land (as opposed to the sea or space).


groundsider

Near the main airlock she foimd Tregare arguing loudly with persons she had never seen—groundsiders here, she thought.

1976, F[rancis] M[arion] Busby, Rissa Kerguelen, Berkley Publishing Corporation, →ISBN, page 67:

Coming back groundside, you always felt the dissociation. They shouldn't have brought him all the way back here; they should have left him out at a Jupiter station, or somewhere his own kind were. These groundsiders were the real aliens. He couldn't make any connections with contemporary Earth—this wasn't the America he remembered.

1988, Janet Morris, Chris Morris, Outpassage, New York, N.Y.: Pageant Books, →ISBN, page 7:

Trinli paused a second, holding his place with one hand while his whole body quivered with the need for crampons and ropes, and pitons driven solid into the walls around him. Lord. It had been a long time since his groundsider orientation had come back this strongly. He moved forward. Forward. Not up.

1999, Vernor Vinge, A Deepness in the Sky, New York, N.Y.: Tor Books, →ISBN, page 109:

The server was cute, and I wondered how she got here, because her physique was groundsider, even more than mine. She had a wedge do with blond highlights and was cheerful without being icky.

2016, Michael Z. Williamson, Angeleyes, Riverdale, N.Y.: Baen Books, →ISBN, page 118:

(science fiction) Someone who lives on the ground (as opposed to space).


planetsider

Todd knew billions of planetsiders were watching, most of Earth. What would they make of this? They had to take the threat seriously. Pat had to make them understand—as he hadn't made them imderstand the true significance of the alien messenger.

1981, Juanita Coulson, Tomorrow's Heritage, New York, N.Y.: Del Rey Books, page 349:

Her chest was hurting already — no star-traveller had the stamina to outrun a planetsider—and she knew she could not keep up her pace for much longer.

1985, Melissa Scott, Five-Twelfths of Heaven, New York, N.Y.: Baen Books, →ISBN, page 307:

The passers-by were mostly planetsiders, some so recent you could see they had trouble handling low-G movement.

1989, Larry Niven, Man-Kzin Wars II, New York, N.Y.: Baen Books, →ISBN, page 216:

"So youre not a planetsider." Raine laughed. "A dirtgrubber? Of course not. I'm from the Habitat. Gryphon torus."

2011, Garth Nix, A Confusion of Princes, London: HarperCollins Children's Books, →ISBN, page 209:

(science fiction) Someone who lives on a planet.

worldizing

en-noun

worldizing (countable and uncountable, plural worldizings)

In the previous examples, worldizing was used for dialogue or music, but it has also been used very effectively for sound effects.

2012, David Lewis Yewdall, The Practical Art of Motion Picture Sound:

Murch also explained to Jarrett, in the same discussion, how worldizing was central to American Graffiti’s sense of place: “The idea was that every teenage car in this town was turned to the same station, and, therefore, anywhere you went in the town, you heard this sound echoing off the buildings and passing by in cars.”

2023, “The Sonic Triumph of American Graffiti”, in JSTOR Daily:

(film) Sounds adjusted such that they sound as if heard in an acoustic location other than where originally created, generally by playing recordings in the new location and recording the playback at that location or by adjusting the audio depth of field.

neo-Western

In conversation with Cawelti's delineation, we now experience a revitalized genre, the neo-Western. Questions arise: Does the neo-Western signify a point in time when civilization has become so thoroughly corrupted and co-opted that savagery and lawlessness experience an inclining surge, creating a nihilistic outlook in comparison to the old epic/tragedy style which represented the best possible outcome for humanity?

2019, Douglas Brode, Shea T. Brode, editors, The Twenty-First-Century Western: New Riders of the Cinematic Stage, Lexington Books, →ISBN, page 245:

(film) A subgenre of the Western genre that includes contemporary settings and uses Old West themes, archetypes, and motifs.


moonship

moonships (plural)
moon ship (alternative)

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

The space agency has requested the Lockheed Missiles & Space Co. to develop a method for controlling trace contaminants inside a spacecraft. […] Unlike the Earth's atmosphere, the air inside a moonship doesn't get cleaned by rains or winds.

1969 November, Arthur Fisher, “Science Newsfront: Last-minute news and notes to keep you up-to-date”, in Popular Science, volume 195, number 5, pages 22–24:

Other kits were for making aeroplanes, one a scale model of the Scandinavian Air Lines Douglas D.C.-8 which was expected to make the first flight from Britain to Los Angeles in April 1960. There was also a moonship of a type which the firm said will eventually reach the moon: all of which goes to show that sometimes toys precede the actual event and are not necessarily mementoes which come afterwards.

1971, Gwen White, Antique Toys And Their Background, page 144:

(astronautics, science fiction) A spaceship designed for travelling to the Moon.


Black Wave

Still, the moviemaking style which began with the so called “Black Wave” of the Yugoslav cinema in the 1960s and 1970s, led by Dušan Makavejev and Želimir Žilnik, has many common traits, especially at the level of the humoresque,[…]

[2014, Doru Pop, Romanian New Wave Cinema: An Introduction, McFarland, →ISBN, page 155:

(film) A Yugoslav film movement of the 1960s and 1970s, characterized by its dark humor and critical examination of the socialist society at the time.
