Photochromatic (also called photochromic) glasses are those glasses that darken in sunlight. These are useful for making cooling glasses.

Tony. Can you unwig ’em again?

1780, John O’Keeffe, Tony Lumpkin in Town, London: T. Cadell, act 2, pages 34–35:

[…] I remember well that one of his jests on this occasion was pinning the wig of His Grace the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury to the wig of that right reverend Father in God, the Lord Bishop of London, as these two holy men sat discussing the question of a pension on the Irish establishment, for one of the King’s cast-off mistresses; and when they rose and moved in opposite directions great was their dismay at finding that they unwigged each other.

This view of forms and ceremonies never commended itself to Mr Gladstone. […] he knew “the sacred virtue of parchment and sealing-wax.” He saw that the same principle underlay the vestments of the Church, and the robes of the Judicial Bench, and the uniforms of Army and Navy […]. “How many men,” he asked me during the Parliament of 1880, “how many men would vote for unwigging the Speaker?”

1912, George W. E. Russell, chapter 24, in Afterthoughts, London: Grant Richards, page 217:

(transitive) To remove (someone) from a position marked by the wearing of a wig, such as that of barrister or judge.

The man is a good female impersonator, with a deceptive voice. He handles himself well and is a good dresser. No one in the line ever got more from removing the wig than does this man, who uses good judgment in selecting the proper moment to unwig.

abfraction (countable and uncountable, plural abfractions)

From ab- + fraction (“act of breaking”); from 1991.

Due to the stresses resulting from biomechanical loading forces exerted on the teeth (static, as in swallowing and clenching[,] or cyclic, as in chewing), both enamel and dentin can chip or break away. This loss of tooth substance, which shall be termed Abfraction, is dependent on the magnitude, duration, direction, frequency, and location of the forces. These abfractive lesions are caused by flexure and ultimate material fatigue of susceptible teeth at locations away from the point of loading. Clinical observation of a variety of enamel and dentin lesions due to the shapes, sizes, loci, and frequency warrants a new and distinct classification.
