Today, the skull is finally coming out of hiding, and it has a new name: Dragon Man, the newest member of the human family, who lived more than 146,000 years ago.

2021 June 25, Ann Gibson, “Stunning ‘Dragon Man’ skull may be an elusive Denisovan—or a new species of human”, in Science:

Yet dragon man is stirring debate, with some experts suggesting it could be a Denisovan, a mysterious Neanderthal sister group represented by scant fossils.

2021 November, Maya Wei-Haas, “Who was ‘Dragon Man’?”, in National Geographic, volume 240, number 5, page 22:

The Harbin specimen, nicknamed ‘Dragon Man’, is a very large cranium that appears facially closer to H. sapiens, but has an elongated braincase more similar to H. heidelbergensis

2022, Luíseach Nic Eoin, “New Asian hominin”, in Nature Ecology & Evolution, volume 6, number 18, →DOI, page 18:

Some researchers assigned the skull a new species name, Homo longi (“dragon man”) and argued that it is a sister species of H. sapiens (Ji et al., 2021)

storkling

/ˈstɒːɹklɪŋ/

The owner of a house found a single egg in the nest of a pair of storks, built on the chimney, and substituted for it a goose’s egg, which in due time was hatched and produced a gosling instead of the expected storkling. The male bird was thrown into the greatest excitement by this event, and finally flew away. The female, however, remained on the nest, and continued to care for the changeling as though it were her own offspring. On the morning of the fourth day the male reappeared accompanied by nearly five hundred storks, which held a mass meeting in an adjacent field. The assembly was addressed by several speakers, each orator posting himself on the same spot before beginning his harangue. The deliberations and discussions occupied nearly the entire forenoon, when suddenly the meeting broke up and all the storks pounced upon the unfortunate female and her suppositious young one, killed them both, and, after destroying the polluted ness, took wing and departed, and were never seen there again.
The story is told of a pair of storks who had lived together for many years in a village. One day, while the male was absent, a younger suitor appeared and began to pay court to the wife. She received his attentions at first with indifference, but she finally fell into the snares of her passionate and persistent adorer. His visits became more frequent, and at last he succeeded in so completely fascinating the matron that she was persuaded to accompany him to a marshy meadow, where her unsuspecting husband was engaged in catching frogs, and to join her gay paramour in putting the old stork to death.

pavement special

pavement special (plural pavement specials)

From pavement + special (“thing which is distinctive or out of the ordinary”, noun), referring to the fact that stray dogs are often found roaming around on pavements.

compound

[E]very mangy, threadbare, snarling cur pariah pavement-special dog that ever got kicked in the ribs appears from the shadows of twisted dreams and with flashing fangs bears down on the injured party to rip her apart in a streak of blood and matted fur.

As I move around the world studying working dogs, there always seems to be another population of dogs hanging around. They are part of the background. When I ask about these dogs, they are described to me as the local mutts, mongrels, pavement specials, crossbreeds.

swaness

One thing we will say for the swaness, or she-swan. She makes a lovely mother! She and the cat are our ideal earthly types of the maternal relation. The mere human mother is an awkward thing alongside either of these creatures. To see the swan with her gray cygnets sailing about is not much more in itself than if she were a goose and goslings; but when she takes a mind to give the little things a ride, then we see riding pic-a-back “elevated,” as the newspapers say of circus-riding, “to the rank of a Fine Art.”

1873, “Central Park”, in Scribner’s Monthly, an Illustrated Magazine for the People, volume VI, New York, N.Y.: Scribner & Co., page 685, column 2:

On Thursday we go down to Celbridge, where with memories of Swift and the wretched and foolish Vanessa and in company with a beautiful swan and swaness, which bring their babies to the lawn to be admired and duly fed, I am going to rest and recuperate for the next five weeks and try to remember out of this awful time only the kindness and sympathy that has been shown to us by so many Irish friends.

1916, Mrs. Hamilton Norway [i.e., Mary Louisa Norway], The Sinn Fein Rebellion as They Saw It, pages 98–99:

It was in June, 1922, while Bill was making his toilet that there came out of the west, and landed nearby, one of the most beautiful swanesses that you ever saw. From her dress and appearance, she was some high born lady. Bill was rather surprised when he discovered the visitor, and naturally, he called on her and displayed courtesy that only a swan can show.

1923 May 17, John Thomson, “Bard of Avon Pens Love Letter For Disconsolate Bachelor Swan: Mayor Thomson Seeks Aid Aid of Commissioner Pittenger For Old Bill, Badly Beaten After Attempt to Steal One of Bamford’s Harem Beauties”, in Asbury Park Evening Press, thirty-seventh year, number 117, Asbury Park, N.J., page 9, column 2:

To the four very willing swanesses of Egypt, Mass., Gloomy Gus, the wan swan from California, is just a pain in the neck. And a pain in a swan’s neck is a long, long pain. Trouble is: Gus hasn’t made passes at any of the lasses. Grieving ever since the death of his mate, with whom he used to navigate Forest Lawn’s lake, Gus was flown east this week in hopes that he would find a new mate in one of four maiden swans at the Chase Bird farm in Egypt, near Boston.

“[…]You were bored anyway and you started drinking and then there were the women. All those ‘we’re just good friends’ women.” “Oh, for God’s sake, Deborah, stuff like that, it’s not important. Can’t you understand? What’s a man supposed to be? Some goddamn swan that mates once for life?” “A lot of men do and you can bet it’s what the swaness prefers.”

duckess

But the thrust that got Eustace in the pin feathers was: “I know why you’re such a model drake,—it’s because your wife is the only duckess in the barnyard.” “Not at all!” he replied. “The principles for which I stand are absolute. They would be the same if there were a hundred duckesses besides Gertrude!”

1920, Lawton Mackall, “Beyond the Paling”, in Scrambled Eggs, Stewart & Kidd Company, page 37:

And here come Sophie and her four offsprings which we have been unable thus far to segregate into ducks and duckesses. Manchester, the biggest of the lot, makes a specialty of pecking at my shoelaces.

dog that caught the car

dog that caught the car (plural dogs that caught the car)

From the instinctual urge of dogs to chase cars, most of which are traveling far and fast enough that they are never within reach.

So I went out, and I was telling the President about what a tough time being Governor was. I felt like the dog that caught the car; I really wasn't equipped to be governor... When I got ready to leave, I realized that I had bored a guy who had to make the decision to drop the bomb, telling him what a tough job being the governor of Arkansas was.

1987, Dale Bumpers, “Commission on the Bicentennial of the United States Constitution”, in Senate Hearings before the Committee on Appropriations, 99-1027, Pr. 2, p. 634:

Mr Reynolds, you might be interested, who seems to be one of the six who run the Labor Party in Western Australia, says this about Mr Kobelke: 'As I have said before Mr Kobelke and the government are like a dog that caught the car—they didn't know what to do about it when they caught it.'"

2002 May 15, Don Randall, "Workplace Relations Amendment (Prohibition of Compulsory Union Fees) Bill 2002: Second Reading", Parliamentary Debates: House of Representatives (Official Hansard), p. 2235

It captures the face of a dog that's caught the car.

2018 February 27, Dave Holmes, "Sean Hannity's Favorite Piece of Trump-Era Art Is Terrifying", Esquire

Since its use on the very day after the referendum, it has become a cliché to say that Brexiters are like ‘the dog that caught the car’, achieving something they had never expected and then did not know what to do with. That was obvious from the very first hours after the 2016 vote, when Johnson and Gove appeared on TV looking both shocked and scared.

2022 February 25, Chris Grey, "The Dogs that Caught the Car", Brexit & Beyond

In this sense, the GOP are the proverbial dog that caught the car. For decades, they have been working their voters into frothing hysteria over the need to protect the unborn from abortionists and their Democratic protectors. But what this means in practice... is far less appealing. From a public health standpoint, the draft decision leaked on Monday is an abomination. From a political standpoint, it imperils midterm victories that were for all intents and purposes inevitable.
