Blend of q (an arbitrarily chosen initial letter) + Latin decem (“ten”) + -to (to match the final syllable of the SI prefixes from femto- downwards).
Coined by Richard J. C. Brown and adopted by the General Conference on Weights and Measures in 2022 as an expansion to the metric prefixes beyond 10^(±24).
Some popular unofficial terms already in use were hella-, bronto- and xenna-, but terms beginning with the same letters as existing prefixes were considered undesirable, as were as those beginning with common scientific letters such as b or x. Richard J. C. Brown suggested that the new terms begin with r and q, due to their rarity as unit symbols, and that the trends followed by the other prefixes be continued: that they be based on Latin or Greek; that large prefixes end with -a and small prefixes end with -o; that they should be in corresponding large and small pairs; and that the first letters of each prefix should be in reverse alphabetical order (as has been the case for the newer prefixes). He therefore suggested ronna- and ronto- (evoking Ancient Greek ἐννέα (ennéa) and Latin novem (“nine”)), and quecca- and quecto- (evoking Ancient Greek δέκα (déka) and Latin decem (“ten”)), because as 10²⁷ and 10³⁰ when written have nine and ten groups of zeroes, respectively.

Mississippi State University revealed their hybrid BRZ on a grand stage last week at the Society of Automotive Engineers World Congress event in Detroit.

2016 April 19, David Tracy, “Mississippi State's Lightweight Subaru BRZ Hybrid Is 100 MPG Worth Of Awesome”, in Jalopnik:

If someone were to ask us to explain it, we'd first ask, 'How much do you want to know?', followed by, 'How much time do you have?'. Because this thing is complex. Even describing the powertrain is something only worthwhile in the company of fellow enginerds.

However, this leads to significant changes in the results, e.g., if in equation (18) the cosines are replaced by coshines the equation has no solutions since coshines are always greater than or equal to one.

LiVARpool

The ability of Jürgen Klopp’s team to win even when the opposition bring their A-game has been a feature of the season. A simple explanation, beyond luck and “LiVARpool” conspiracy theory, is that their base levels are just so high.

2019 January 23, Mark Daniell, “Snubs & surprises: Roma and The Favourite lead Oscar race, while others fail to leave the starting gate”, in Vancouver Sun, page C1:

[…] make no mistake — Chalamet is the star. I brought a young Chalamaniac on the Globe staff with me to the screening, and we both sighed happily for the film’s two-plus hours, she for her boy king and me at all the pop-history pageantry that’s saved from self-seriousness (mostly) by the pleasures of craft.

2021 October 22, Brian Viner, “An epic rises from the SANDS”, in Daily Mail:

To say the outfit went viral and provoked some transatlantic reactions is putting it mildly, with Chalamaniacs going Chalamaladingdong over his threads and casual observers plunging into throws of accoutrement funks worldwide, thinking “I should really spruce up my wardrobe for the fall.”

It could be argued that the rise of the socially conscious model reflects a very 2017 archetype: the “woke” young woman, who looks set to define femininity this decade in the same way that the lager-swilling ladette did in the 90s. It is also symptomatic of a broader cultural “awokening” that has reached the stuffiest institutions; even the royal family has recently relaxed its upper lip.

2017 May 15, Hannah Marriott, “Woke models: how activism became fashion's latest must-have”, in The Guardian, London, page 9:

If you wish to maintain that the Clinton-era economy was a "bubble economy" you must concede that the simile implies that the "bubble" burst. That's a discrete event. An event Repugnicans did nothing to forestall.

2002 July 31, Gary Ott, “Re: It's the Economy, Stupid”, in alt.politics.usa.republican (Usenet):

So it is quite fair and reasonable to say that wage earners are getting the shaft when compared to those who OWN stuff and receive UNEARNED income (mostly economic rent). Unless and until the Repugnicans can figure out a way to share the wealth more equitably they are simply a bunch of lying pigs who use cherry picked "data" to illustrate distortions.

2005 September 29, The Trucker, “Re: China's growth is not due to trade”, in sci.econ (Usenet):


fakeship

Blend of fake + relationship. By surface analysis, fake + -ship.

We had a fakeship going on and that was fine with me. We were cordial at church and at our weekly woman's meetings but aside from that, we had an understanding; she didn't like me and I didn't give a shit.

2015, Tracee Boyd, Beautifully Damaged: Lost in Detroit:

Kent couldn't have made it any clearer that the road to anything more than fakeship was closed.

A disingenuous, fraudulent, or artificial relationship.


Iraqnam

Remember how the US troops were told that after the “Shock and Awe” knockout blow and the Iraqis welcomed them in with open arms, they would largely all be off home by the 4th July! Well, welcome to IraqNam.

2003 September 20, Paul Shallard, “Feedback: Comment on A sad case of schadenfreude by Andrew Gimson (13/09/2003)”, in The Spectator:

It was one of the worst days of my life, as I had to admit that Vietnam had been a waste. When the Iraq war began, it became evident to me that it was going to be an IRAQNAM—as mismanaged as Vietnam had been or worse.

2006, Jerry Autry, “Preface”, in Gun-Totin' Chaplain: A True Memoir, San Francisco, CA: Airborne Press, →ISBN, page xiii:

Now can we leave IraqNam and Afghanistan? We pissed away billions to support US oil fascism, and ruined our nation's reputation in so-doing. Meanwhile, record numbers of homeless people and families, undernourished children, and failling^([sic]) young people grow, even as we pump up the BS for BC's version of the Olympic Follies.

2008 November, Joseph E Fasciani, “Letters to the editor: Ruined reputation”, in Common Ground, number 208, →ISSN, page 10:

Aided by our Uncle Toms—Brokaw and Hanks—the rich, who had not served in the first quagmire because they had other priorities, grew nostalgic for those so-called greatest generation wars. When attacked in 2001, we were pumped up and ready. We gave ourselves rhetorical goose bumps about freedom goose-stepping. Iraqnam.

2009, Kate Clinton, I Told You So, Boston, MA: Beacon Press, →ISBN, page 58:

(often derogatory) The country of Iraq during the Iraq War (2003–2011) that began with a controversial invasion by a United States-led coalition, seen as analogous to the Vietnam War (1955–1975) which was also marked by American military involvement.


Dumbya

Blend of Dubya (“nickname for George W. Bush”) + dumb.

Maybe Dumbya vs. Pinocchio would be a good matchup for late-night comedy, but with U.S. sailors being blown to bits in Yemen, the Mideast in flames, and a stock market as un- reliable as a daily tracking poll, a new sense of seriousness, if not outright gloom, has descended on the White House sweepstakes. The public seems even more exhausted than the candidates.

2000 October 23, Roger Simon, Kenneth T. Walsh, “Suddenly, it's serious: A turbulent wold intrudes on America's long, national daydream”, in U.S. News & World Report, volume 129, number 16, →ISSN, page 36:

A lifetime spent as a Rockefeller toady cultivating both open and covert contacts with intelligence agencies, organized crime figures, third world dictators, oil cartels, drug lords and the New World Order made our new President Dumbya possible.

2001 Winter, Robert Lederman, “GW Bush and the Bi-Partisanism Hustle”, in It's About Time…, volume 5, number 1, page 6:

Because who doesn’t want to own an oil-less, el busto oil company? Do you know anything at all about tax dodges? (As president, Dumbya would appoint Reynolds ambassador to Switzerland after he and DeWitt contributed nearly $1 million to the Bush 2000 campaign.)

2007, Jack Huberman, The GOP-Hater's Handbook: 378 Reasons Never to Vote for the Party of Reagan, Nixon and Bush Again, New York, NY: Nation Books, →ISBN, page 59:

(US politics, derogatory) George W. Bush (born 1946), the 43rd president of the United States (2001–2009).

fitfluencer

Make a point to follow accounts that focus on finding joy and confidence in movement itself, but be wary of fitfluencers who share before-and-after photos that highlight fat loss, or images, like glistening abs or disembodied legs, that treat body parts like objects that need to be perfected.

Especially because it seems PRO (the artist formerly known as Prokid) is truly at home on DJ Sbu's record label and is doing the sort of music that he is thrilled about on his third studio album, Dankie San.¶ And we're thrilled too, when taking into consideration the number of people who go banoodles when the IV League- produced song Bhampa is played anywhere at any time.

Republithug

Blend of Republican + thug. Compare Rethuglican.

I would never condone any riot, but the difference between such a riot and the Republithugs who stormed Miami-Dade is that the Repub's were attempting to stop a lawful recount through intimidation.

2000 December 2, James Simpson, “Re: Republicans correctly accuse Dems of STEALING the election ...”, in alt.politics.elections (Usenet):

On the other hand, it is an easy, basic way of understanding the abuses of the Republithugs. That is, nothing matters but power. That is, further, they don't mean a *damn thing with "family values." They never did. It was just another pose meant to help them gain power.

2006 October 12, Mark K. Bilbo, “Re: OT: Derailing the Republicans”, in alt.atheism (Usenet):

Snamione

Pairing names are often portmanteaus of characters' names, although fans may not always agree on the forms that these amalgamations take — the Snape/Hermione ship, for example, may be called Snamione, Sevmione, Snermione or Snanger, depending on the preferences of the fans who participate in it.

2015, Amanda K. Allen, “Social Networking, Participatory Culture and the Fandom World of Harry Potter”, in Gail Ashton, editor, Medieval Afterlives in Contemporary Culture, Bloomsbury Publishing, →ISBN, page 279:

Therefore, it is logical that the selected trope will more often be used in fics which have a non-normative ship: fandomstats relays that, within the EWE tag, some of the most prolific ships include Drarry, Dramione (Draco/Hermione, not a slash ship but still one that does not conform with Rowling’s normative ideas as it contains Draco, an antagonistic character), and ships involving Snape, including Snamione and Snarry.

2019, Beatriz Brito do Nascimento, "No heteros in this heterotopia: Harry Potter slash fanfiction as heterotopian space", dissertation submitted to the University of Porto, page 120

And the love bred a shameful number of Snamione fanfics in the coming years.

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Hermione Granger and Severus Snape of the Harry Potter series.


Justinflation

“JustinFlation is coming to a grocery store near you,” Pierre Poilievre, the Conservative Shadow Minister for Finance, said in a statement.

2021 December 9, Gabrielle Piché, “We’ll pay more to eat less”, in Winnipeg Free Press:

Instead, the Poilievre who is available to us is the one who snarls ceaselessly about Justinflation, lobs bombs just to bask in the glow of the blast and throws in his lot with protesters terrorizing ordinary citizens because—well, frankly, it’s hard to fathom why.

2022 March 10, Shannon Proudfoot, “Why is Pierre Poilievre so angry?”, in Maclean's:

Barrett and Gourde said: "While people in this country are struggling to afford to live and provide for their family because of the crushing costs of Justinflation and higher taxes, the Liberals are helping their friends get rich on the backs of hardworking Canadians."

(Canada, politics, derogatory) Inflation attributed to the economic policies or spending of the government of Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau.


portmanbro

It also reflects the way portmanteau coinages incorporating “bro-” and “man-” — “portmanbros,” if you will — have increasingly taken on a critical edge, in keeping with shifts in conversations around gender.

2017 December 14, Jennifer Schuessler, “‘Youthquake’ Is Oxford’s Word of the Year. Sorry, Broflake.”, in New York Times:

Many of these authors are StudyTubers who are well known online for giving academic advice.

Critics of StudyTube often use the idea of parasocial relationships to take issue with StudyTubers’ attempts at replacing study partners—particularly their livestreams and lifestyle/Study with Me videos—however, this is a misapplication of the concept.

A YouTuber whose account focuses on studying and academia.

cryptex

Blend of cryptology + codex, coined in The Da Vinci Code (2003); see quotations.

Sophie was not surprised. Most of Leonardo’s unbuilt inventions had never been studied or even named. The term cryptex possibly had been her grandfather’s creation, an apt title for this device that used the science of cryptology to protect information written on the contained scroll or codex.

[2003, Dan Brown, The Da Vinci Code, New York: Doubleday, →ISBN, page 199:

Earl Sweatshirt packs so much into his verses that listening to one can feel like trying to crack a cipher. “Nowhere2go,” a track from his upcoming album, is one such emotional cryptex; it’s powerfully blunt about being plagued by depression and seeing death everywhere, but decidedly oblique about what comes after.

2018 November 8, Sheldon Pearce, “Earl Sweatshirt “Nowhere2go” Track Review”, in Pitchfork, archived from the original on 2022-10-27:

StudyTube

Blend of study + YouTube. By surface analysis, study + -Tube.

If you are not aware of the StudyTube community, there are several channels on YouTube dedicated to studying, with over 100k subscribers, which considering it is a rather new and niche audience, this is a substantial subscriber account in comparison to commentary, beauty and gaming channels.

Juliette Guéron-Gabrielle speaks to YouTuber Ibz Mo about his student experience at Cambridge, StudyTube and online learning in lockdown. […] Did you see YouTube change over the years? God, yes. When I started it, there was no studytube.

“The paradox of StudyTube is you make a reputation around being a normal and relatable student. The thing is, once you start making money and having an audience, you’re no longer an ordinary student.”

2021 October 5, Tom Haynes, quoting Jack Edwards, “What happens to studytubers once they stop studying?”, in i-D, archived from the original on 2021-10-06:

Notion has become very popular among the studytube community.

StudyTube is weird. I jumped in, expecting Lo-Fi music and aesthetic bullet journaling tips. In horror, I travelled down a rabbit hole of self-help channels that finally led me to Jordan Peterson’s top tips on being a far-right wanker. I won’t lie, I fucking hate self-help, and StudyTube is no exception.

skinimalism

From the proliferation of skinimalism to the rise of by-product beauty and a new wave of products to banish blackheads, Rose Beer reports on the latest and greatest in skincare now

As we embrace ‘skinimalism’, meet the multi-tasking make-up product that’s actually good for your complexion

2021 December 1, “Glow with It”, in Hello! Fashion:

Skinimalism prioritizes skin health and lets your natural beauty shine through.

2022 February 1, Lourdes Avila Uribe, “Everything You Need To Know About 'Skinimalism', The Latest Beauty Trend”, in HuffPost:

‘Skinimalism’ is essentially about de-cluttering skincare cupboards and staying away from ‘adding to the cart’.

2022 May 17, “Allow the Skin to Breathe”, in The Asian Age:

Should we all be following the fabled Korean 12-step regime, or is the recent trend for pared-back ‘skinimalism’ the way forward?

(neologism) A skincare philosophy which emphasizes simplicity and only using products which are absolutely necessary.


Spermageddon

/ˌspɜːɹməˈɡɛ.dn̩/

Blend of sperm + Armageddon; coined in response to a controversial 2017 study which claimed that average human sperm count decreased by 52% between 1973 and 2011.

Are the stats misleading, or have we been distracted by fears of overpopulation, when in fact spermageddon – a fertility time bomb – has been sneaking up on us all along?

2018 January 27, India Sturgis, “Spermageddon: Why the human race could be infertile in 50 years”, in The Daily Telegraph, archived from the original on 2022-12-06:

Inevitably, there were headlines about "Spermageddon" and the risk that humans would disappear, but then we moved on to chase other shiny objects.

[2021 February 20, Nicholas Kristof, “Opinion | What Are Sperm Telling Us?”, in The New York Times, archived from the original on 2022-10-11:

Is humankind really facing "Spermageddon," a decline in sperm count that could spell the end of the species? Maybe, maybe not.

2021 May 10, Ruth Schuster, “Spermaggedon in the West? Relax, Harvard Has Good News for You”, in Haaretz, archived from the original on 2023-01-16:

Now a group of interdisciplinary researchers from Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology contend that fears of an impending Spermageddon have been vastly overstated.

2021 June 4, Rachel E. Gross, “The Sperm-Count 'Crisis' Doesn't Add Up”, in The New York Times, archived from the original on 2022-12-26:

The other problem here is that the 50 per cent decline in sperm counts, or "spermageddon" as it’s been called, has been called into question. Last year, "The Future of Sperm," a paper published by researchers from both Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, showed that the methodology behind the sperm panic was flawed.

[2022 April 25, Christine Sismondo, “Unpacking testicle tanning, the so-called spermageddon and shedding light on medical misinformation”, in Toronto Star, archived from the original on 2022-08-23:

Some took issue with this forecast of an imminent Spermageddon. A group of Harvard researchers stated that the study was based on "questionable assumptions", such as the belief that sperm count alone is an accurate predictor of overall male fertility.

2022 November 5, Ellie Austin, “Why are so many young men freezing their sperm?”, in The Times, archived from the original on 2023-01-20:

(neologism) The (disputed) phenomenon of human sperm count decreasing over time, potentially leading to human extinction.

etymon

informal investigation of public figures

transgender>having a gender different from one's assigned sex

The conspiracies I think are really bad is the ones that come from elitism and say that one group is better than another, so that's what I think is really stupid. Another thing that gets me are transvestigations, conspiracies about people's gender, like Justin Bieber being a girl and Miley Cyrus being a guy. It's just so stupid.

2018 August 10, Mack Lamoureux, quoting Cami Knodel, “We Asked Flat Earthers What The Dumbest Conspiracy Is”, in Vice News, archived from the original on 2022-11-28:

It didn't take long for users to point out that EmergentReality has no idea about the various shapes, sizes, and anatomical variations that both trans and cis women experience. "The Great Transvestigation strikes again, folks," Twitter user @indigowhiskey wrote. "It's been over 3 hours and I still don't know what an Adonis belt is."

Inanna Snow, the "Transvestigation Disclosure" admin who argued that Cavill is trans due to his feminine gaze, was dethroned from her own page in recent weeks when others accused her of being trans, on equally flimsy grounds.

2022 July 18, Miles Klee, “Unhinged 'Transvestigators' Think They're the Only Cis People Left.”, in MEL Magazine, archived from the original on 2022-12-18:

The biggest transvestigation groups have a few thousand members – tiny by Facebook standards – and the biggest elite gender inversion Twitter account, Son of Man, has 25,000 followers.

2023 September 21, Hayden Vernon, “The Conspiracy Theory That All Celebrities Are Secretly Trans”, in Vice News, archived from the original on 2023-12-12:

The "transvestigation" conspiracy involves internet pundits using phrenology to "prove" that apparently cisgender celebrities are in fact trans, despite pretending otherwise

(Internet slang) An informal investigation into whether a public figure is secretly transgender, generally conducted by analyzing that person's appearance and anatomical structure.


Demotard

Of course, hypocrisy at its finest. Blah-blah Ford had NO evidence or proof about Kavanaugh, but the Demotards believed Kavanaugh was guilty. Reade has contemporary evidence, at least, but the same Demotards don't even want to talk about it, and they think that's okay.
Watch the Demotards use those very same allegations behind the scenes to flush O'Biden out and bring in a replacement... maybe Hillary or "Big Mike" O'Bummer. O'Biden ain't gonna be The Man when it gets down to the nitty and the gritty.
