1854, Theodoret (Bishop of Cyrrhus.), Evagrius (Scholasticus), A history of the church from A.D. 322 to the death of Theodore of Mopsuestia, A.D. 427

But though the fiscus was put in charge of an Emesene of low character, the confiscations which Dio complains of the increased exaction of crown gold", and the general disorder into which the imperial finances fell may have been due less to the rapacity or incompetence of officials than to the foolish liberality by which the Emperor sought to win popular applause.

1939, John Bagnell Bury, Stanley Arthur Cook, Frank E. Adcock, The Cambridge Ancient History - Volume 12, page 54

man in black

Coordinate term: black helicopter

Ever since the cessation of activity by Albert Bender in 1954, and followed closely by a few others, whose disappear[a]nce though less spectacular, from this field of work, caused a stir among the then active workers; the words he used in reference to his case "that he had been visited by three men in black, who demanded that he cease his investigations" left many to conjecture as to who they were, and what was their reason and who they represented.

1958, The Australian Saucer Record, volume 4, number 4, page 1

Often they arrive at the scene of a UFO landing before those involves have had a chance to tell their story to the authorities, indicating that these Men-in-Black can read – as well as CONTROL – minds.

1995, James L. Thompson, Alien encounters: the deception menace, Cedar Fort, page 52

Stories of “men-in-black,” who confront those who have witnessed a UFO with the intention of persuading them to keep their knowledge of space creatures a secret, are also amenable to folkloristic analysis.

2010 May 20, “Post-independence literature”, in Stabroek News

Coming from a South Indian Tamil family that had settled in the western India, “Madrasi” was my family’s nickname in the neighbourhood and so was mine at school. The name in itself was obnoxious, not to mention the stereotyping it brought along with it. For North Indians, anyone from the South was a Madrasi, irrespective of where they came from.

2012 July 26, Xavier Bennet, “Discrimination is everywhere”, in The Times of India

Hindi cinema has been guilty of stereotyping the “Madrasi” since the days of Mehmood. […] The “Madrasi” usage probably stems from the days of the British Raj when the Madras Province covered Tamil Nadu, parts of Kerala (excluding Travancore) and Andhra Pradesh and even Karnataka (excluding Mysore) and thus anyone from the South was automatically presumed to be from the Madras Presidency…a Madrasi.

(astronomy, obsolete) Pertaining to the planet Jupiter; Jovian.

It was pointed out in chapter 3 that [C. S.] Lewis liked to regard Jupiter as his personal presiding deity, but Mercury would have been almost as apt a choice, for Lewis had been extraordinarily favoured by that Intelligence whom, in ‘The Planets,’ he calls the ‘Lord of language’: both as a speaker and as a writer Lewis was uncommonly fluent. However, despite these talents, despite the fact that he saw Mercurial as well as Jovial strains in his paternity, and despite his opinion that Mercury shared with Jupiter a special need of rehabilitation, Lewis claimed no special relationship with the planet of the second sphere. In fact, he confesses that the Mercurial essence is almost beyond his grasp: […]

Bakuvian

The vast majority of Bakuvians identify themselves as Muslims but tend to see Islam as a badge of national identity as much as a strict religious code.

2012 September 17, Don Lipman, “Red sprites, blue jets, and elves What are these mysterious, elusive phenomena?”, in The Washington Post

“You know, there’s a new name,” Mrs. Clinton said in the March appearance. “It’s unexplained aerial phenomenon,” she said. “U.A.P. That’s the latest nomenclature.”

It has also been proved that Demeraran cane is better able to resist damage by storms, so that taking it all in all it would appear that the newer varieties are quite likely to displace the older kinds.

My friend was obliged positively to force me to enter a booth, and, after the precious shivin (a kind of tea) was poured out, wishing to profit by the ecstatic feeling in which he found me, he asked me, chucklingly, “Now, then, what do you say to Bokhara Sherif (the noble)?” “It pleases me much,” I replied; and the Central Asiatic, although from Khokand, and an alien enemy, as his nation was at that moment at war with Bokhara, was nevertheless delighted to find that the capital of Turkestan had made such a conquest of me, and gave me his word that he would show me its finest features in the course of the following days.

By describing him as a “Scythian shepherd,” Marlowe seizes the idea of the near contemporary Mongolians in the relatively unracialized image of the classical Scythians (who were neither Central Asiatics nor “shepherds,” though they were nomads).

Istanbullu

Ekrem İmamoğlu, elected in 2019 as Istanbul’s opposition party mayor despite fierce resistance from Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development party, told the Guardian that Istanbullus had been reassured that the huge Melen dam system would supply the city’s water needs without issue until 2070.

Japanee

Then there was more low bows, and we ladies swept back our trains, took steps and curtsied just as easy and graceful as they did, and Mrs. Grant talked a little with a Japanee.

1874, Ann Sophia Stephens, Phemie Frost's Experiences, page 173

In dealing with a Japanee you are dealing with one of nature's gentlemen. For nature's gentlemen are the Japanese, made in the older fashion of the world before money-grubbing had soiled the souls of men, cankered their hearts, […]

Connecticutensian

Heard a pretty sensible Yalensian Connecticutensian preacher.]

Another reaſon for the obſcurity in which the Connecticutenſians have hitherto been involved, is to be found among their own ſiniſter views and purpoſes.[…]Religion and Government.—Properly ſpeaking, the Connecticutenſians have neither, nor ever had; but, in pretence, they excel the whole world, except Boſton and Spain.

Hugh Peters’s History of Connecticut, printed in London, 1781, can hardly be known to many of our readers. The author states, that the Connecticutensians have been involved in obscurity, by a cloud of prejudice and knavery; for that Doctor Mather and Mr. Neal suppressed “what are called in New-England, unnecessary truths.”

Bread and pork!—who of the poxed, deliquescent army was more qualified to supply it than our piratical Connecticutensian, so ready with his Lathrop-training, to give service, and also “fill his pocket”?[…]The two New Hampshire regiments, and the Connecticutensians, poured deadly volleys across the clearing.[…]Again Arnold hurls thunder with those Connecticutensians, and this time with telling effect.[…]A bit snobbish, apt to sneer at Connecticutensians, or plain country Jonathans; and yet she was not without some sense in that Boston Flucker head of hers.

It was said, the Connecticutensians “loved the house of prayer, loved to leave it too.”

Mr. Chute had now begun to “get the hang,” as they say in Connecticut, of Connecticutensian English, and even in his diluted rendering it has a pungency, a force, and a strange new sort of humour, which I wish we might import from our American colonies.]

[1951, Odell Shepard, Willard Shepard, “Tuesday”, in Jenkins’ Ear: A Narrative Attributed to Horace Walpole, Esq., New York, N.Y.: The Macmillan Company, page 202

This charter, which was to be the palladium of Connecticutensians, openly granted to Winthrop’s colony all of Long Island and Westchester.[…]Most Connecticutensians were Whigs and dissenters and, properly aroused, were never squeamish about tormenting an Episcopalian Tory.[…][Parson] Peters was to live on and one day would describe Connecticutensians as “part man and part beast and wholly of the devil.” Peters had been only an outstanding character to be chased; but, as for a Sandemanian, a Connecticutensian really felt deep down that he could boil him in oil, but actually settled for feathers and a tar bucket.

Peter Pond, the whimsical Connecticutensian, whose forebears “ware all waryers ither by sea or land,” was the first, as far is known, to record that Indians along the Athabasca were using a “sticky substance oozing from the river banks to waterproof their canoes.”

“It must give pleasure to every Connecticutensian” that “no post of honour or profit” can “exist, but what is of his own conferring” and that “no court favour, elevation of birth or fortune,” nor “indeed anything but merit, can be the ground for preferment.”
