Twosday

Blend of two + Tuesday. Analyzable as two + -s- + day

The deuces are wild today as one of the grandest palindromes of 2022 arrives on Tuesday, unofficially known as "Twosday."

2022 February 22, Jordan Mendoza, “It's 'Twosday!' No matter where you are in the world, today's palindrome date is the same”, in USA TODAY:

Good things come in twos. At least this Tuesday it does.
The date is February 22, 2022. When you write it, 2/22/22, it's a palindrome, meaning it reads the same forward and backward. It also falls on a Tuesday, which is now referred to as Twosday.

2022 February 22, Megan Marples, “Happy Twosday! Don't miss out celebrating the coolest date of the decade”, in CNN:

2/22/22 is a five-digit palindrome. It’s also made up of all twos and falls on a Tuesday, which some are calling Twosday.

2022 February 22, Joseph De Avila, “Twosday’s Many, Many (Too Many?) Twos”, in The Wall Street Journal:

The date of Tuesday, February 22nd, 2022 (2/22/22; 22-2-22)


Striketober

As we speak, thousands of workers are on strike. From nurses and healthcare workers to people who make cereal, tractors, and whiskey. And tens of thousands more have taken strike votes and are ready to join them if they can't reach agreements with their employers. It's a strike wave – we are calling it “Striketober.”

2021 October 21, Jesus Chuy Garcia, quotee, “Rep. Garcia Honors Workers Around the Nation During ‘Striketober’”, in Targeted News Service:

October 2021 was known as “Striketober” due to all the militant labor activity taking place around the country. As the month came to an end, Striketober turned into Strikevember, Strikesgiving and other strike-themed portmanteaus. The point is, the labor movement is not a fluke, and this resurgence continued even as 2021 came to a close.

2022 January 21, Nathan Wall, “Striketober didn't end, keep supporting striking workers”, in The Lawrentian, Lawrence University:

But as The Guardian reports, already familiar picket lines could become even more ubiquitous as a new “Striketober” looms in just a few days’ time, with Philadelphia museum workers providing some small sample of what’s to come.

2022 September 27, John L. Micek, “With Philly Art Museum walkout, has a new ‘Striketober’ come early to Pa.?”, in St. Joseph News-Press, St. Joseph, Mo.:

As organizing pushes sputtered at other companies, such as Amazon, and activists dubbed the fall of 2021 “Striketober,” the Starbucks campaign proceeded at a plodding, determined pace, and it went toe-to-toe with the chain's founder and interim chief executive Howard Schultz.

2022 November 18, Jacob Bogage, Lauren Kaori Gurley, “Starbucks employees walk out in a ‘Red Cup Rebellion’”, in The Washington Post, page A20:

Instamom

2015 November 14, Hayley Krischer, “Meet the Instamom, a Stage Mother for Social Media”, in The New York Times:

My advice for new mamas is to take all those beautiful Instamom photos with a grain of salt, because a carefully cropped square leaves the rest of a person's reality out of the frame.

coronasomnia

Most of the information sleep experts have on coronasomnia is anecdotal, but there is plenty of it.

Back-formation from sharenting. Analyzable as blend of share + parent.

If you're not one yourself, you've probably come across one, perhaps even taken advantage of apps such as Unbaby.me, which helpfully replaces the endless feed of baby pictures with images of cats or, if you prefer, bacon. Because sharents have a tendency to get a little … carried away.

2013 May 18, Nione Meakin, “The pros and cons of 'sharenting'”, in The Guardian:

2016, Suzie Hayman, John Coleman, Parents and Digital Technology: How to Raise the Connected Generation, page 46:

Adults are sharenting because the structure of the online world makes it very easy to do and even encourages it.

2020, John Palfrey, forward of Leah A. Plunkett, Sharenthood: Why We Should Think Before We Talk About Our Kids Online, page X

Thus, this study aimed to ascertain how Australian parents are sharenting on social media, and to understand both their awareness of risk, and their perceptions of their children's rights to privacy.

Vietnam Vets of my acquaintance first taught me that harsh fact, in particular Louis Beam, who flew two tours for Uncle Shmuel in Indochina, hanging out the door of a medivac helicopter with a .50 machine gun, for which he received the Distinguished Flying Cross. He then returned home and gave speeches excoriating Henry Kissinger for selling Vietnam vets out.

1999 March 29, David Balaban, “Bombing for Peace...?”, in soc.culture.russian (Usenet):

Cutting daisies for Delilah... Let the hebes do their own dirty work, for once. Send the wheelchair whinnier Krauthammer "over there" and see what his Jew-boosting bilge sells for. Somalia, Sudan and Yemen are said to be next on the Jews' list for "American" destruction. Uncle Shmuel calling anybody a terrorist is like being called crazy by Chuck Manson.

The website image at right, used for fundraising by the "non-profit" Jewish Telegraphic Agency, (JTA) showing Uncle Sam in a yarmulke with a star of David, really needs no commentary.

2014 May/June, “Uncle Shmuel Needs You”, in The Barnes Review, volume 20, number 3, Washington, D.C.: TBR Co., →ISSN, page 54:

In sum, the woke-soaking narcissists who run the USA can celebrate how they showed "them Chinese commies" who is boss. Just like they did with Russia between 1991 and 2021. And then, when the Russians decided to act, Uncle Shmuel was caught totally off-guard and clueless as to how to deal with this sudden and direct threat.

‘Tsar Pootin’ was pissed that America wasn’t […] treating Russia as an equal partner.

2017, The Republic: Traitor, R.R. Quaggiato:

Windopws^([sic]) is full of swiss cheese. And Pootin's government workers are rebelling over the threat to their grannies because they love Linux more than grannies, but grannies are more important than Pootin. Novachooking Pootin and anyone who mentions Windopws^([sic]) is one option being considered by rebels in St. Pootersberg.

2018 October 20, 7, “Linux threatens to destabilize Pootin's government over Novachooking grannies”, in comp.os.linux.advocacy (Usenet):

2006 April 28, Evron, “'Separate laws for Muslims' idea slammed (Sweden)”, in soc.culture.israel (Usenet):

It is remarkable to me that the overwhelming majority have not turned

'Londistan' and all other manner of derisory comments is designed to make
them feel, "if that's how they see us, we might as well be that ( better to

yarbles

yarbles pl (normally plural, singular yarble)

Green's Dictionary of Slang
Nadsat
rhyming slang

Yarbles was coined by Anthony Burgess in 1962, when he introduced it within the invented slang Nadsat found in his dystopian novel A Clockwork Orange. The word is generally understood to be a derivation from Russian яблоко (jabloko, “apple”), owing to the variant form "yarblockos" used within the same novel. Jabloko does not have the equivalent vulgar connotation among Russian speakers, although яйца (jajca, literally “eggs”) does, which may have influenced the word. Green's Dictionary of Slang posits possible alternate origins as yarb + balls: a combination of the antiquated, sometimes-derogatory English dialect word yarb with the vulgar colloquialism balls. Others have suggested a connection, via the methods of English rhyming slang, to marbles.

"I'm not worried. This kid's got giant yarbles."

planthropology

Coined by anthropologist Natasha Myers, from plant + anthropology

We must get to know plants intimately and on their terms. And so we need a planthropology (Myers 2015a) to document the affective ecologies taking shape between plants and people, to learn to listen to their demands for unpaved land and for a time outside of the rhythms of capitalist extraction.

So, fellow alt.writers, when you reach this point in your writing, do you stay away from the story for a while, do you continue tinkering with it, or what?

peamole

I've even had success with, well, “peamole,” in which fresh English peas stand in for the broccoli.

There's no greater inspiration than the 6 feet of towering peas in the Hollyhock garden. This is a refreshing, light spin on its richer cousin, guacamole. Peamole wants to snuggle up with corn chips and crackers.

skimpflation

We propose a new word to describe this stealth-ninja kind of inflation: skimpflation. It's when, instead of simply raising prices, companies skimp on the goods and services they provide.

2021 October 26, Greg Rosalsky, “Meet skimpflation: A reason inflation is worse than the government says it is”, in Planet Money:

Some economists have pegged a new word to this phenomenon where, rather than raise prices, companies cut services previously provided: skimpflation. Skimpflation could mean reduced staff, thus longer lines or phone hold times.

2022 March 17, Sally French, “One of the most basic hotel amenities is disappearing”, in Honolulu Star-Advertiser:

Companies face an appalling dilemma, said Laith Al-Khalaf in The Sunday Times – pass on increased costs to consumers “and risk losing them to rivals”, or “absorb the hit”. No wonder many are opting for a third path: “skimpflation”. The trick is to erode “the quality of their goods” – say, by “menu engineering” to focus on cheaper foods – in the hope that “hoodwinked” consumers either don't notice or don't care.

2022 April 30, “Netflix et al.: the great cancellation”, in The Week, Bath, page 41:

Sadly it's a sign of the times, and consumers will have to get used to this practice of skimpflation, where brands reduce the value of their services to remain profitable.

2022 September 2, Nicholas Dawson, quoting David Beard, “Blow for Sainsbury's Bank customers with huge Nectar points change - 'really unfair!'”, in Express:

"This is now called Skimpflation, which means a manufacturer has reformulated one of its products, usually with cheaper ingredients," says Dworsky, a former Massachusetts Assistant Attorney General in consumer protection.

[2022 November 2, Leslie Gaydos, quoting Edgar Dworsky, “Skimpflation: Brands May Be Changing Their Recipes to Cut Costs – But It's Hard to Tell”, in NBC Boston:

How To Be A Savvy Shopper Amidst Skimpflation […] And while it might require a little more time and energy in the aisles, there are ways to prevent your diet from suffering amidst inflation.

2022 November 9, “How Skimpflation May Be Affecting Your Diet”, in Henry Ford Health:

(economics, informal, neologism) The practice of reducing the quality of products while continuing to market them at the same price.

ASMRotica

When it comes to traditional ASMR, every view, take or comment comes with the same question: is this sexual? Should I be turned on? ASMRotica makes it easy: yes.

2015 August 15, Kathryn Lindsay, “Inside the Sensual World of ASMRotica”, in VICE:

However, this couldn't be further from the truth, and ASMRotica makes up only a tiny piece of the ASMR community.

2019 February 12, Mark Andrew Choi, “Sucks to your ASMR”, in The Arrow, Westlake High School, Westlake, CA, page 16:

Where mainstream ASMRtists don’t appreciate comments that refer to sexuality in any way, the ASMRotica subgenre welcomes these kind of viewers (Lindsay 2015: online).

sitdram

I like comedy, and occasionally watch a little stand up on Comedy Central, but I've never liked the sitcom format, or sitdram, or whatever. Always seemed too prepackaged to me, too pat.

What set ER apart, IMO, was that it seemed not to be just another hospital show. For me, it is when they leave the hospital situations that the show loses its edge and becomes just another TV sitdram.
