Zion Don

From Zion + Don or blend of Zionist + Donald, in the context of his pro-Israel stance. Also chosen for its quasi-rhyme.

They realized that they have overused their Zion Don to the point where one more of these attacks and his base is going to abandon him entirely.

2019 April 1, D. Schlenk, “Mossad/CIA False Flag Warning”, in de.soc.weltanschauung.misc (Usenet):

Good, that’s where Zion Don belongs. I doubt, however, that Democrats have balls to do that. Also, the fact that they call prison a “niggerville” really says a lot about niggers.

Momala

Barrymore seemed to think that asking Harris to be the country’s Momala was a form of praise, as honoring the high regard in which she holds her. But she did so with a historical blindness that America often demonstrates when talking about Black people.

2024 May 1, Charles M. Blow, “Kamala Harris Isn’t Americans’ ‘Momala.’ She’s Our Vice President.”, in The New York Times:

A few years later when Doug and I got married, Cole, Ella, and I agreed that we didn’t like the term “stepmom.” Instead they came up with the name “Momala.”

Hillarynomics

But the timing and circumstance of its authorship in January make it the best guide to what Hillarynomics is likely to look like.

2015 December 6, Matthew Yglesias, “This is our best look at Hillary Clinton's economic agenda”, in Vox:

And whether it's Hillarynomics or Ivankanomics, the core belief at work here is that social insurance must everywhere and always be a government-supplied or mandated benefit.

2016 September 15, James Pethokoukis, “Donald Trump's theory of love”, in The Week:

Ivankanomics

“Interestingly though, we have someone who did just that. Ivanka Trump did just that, securing $1.5 billion in relief from the private sector for small businesses, $10 billion to [community development financial institutions], which are banks that help minority and low-income communities.

Indeed, reporting in the business press shows that corporate titans see Walz’s nomination merely as a rhetorical and aesthetic sop to the party’s base — but not a signal of Harris’s commitment to adopting Walzonomics or even the strongest parts of the Biden-Harris economic agenda.

2024 October 8, David Sirota, “Harris-Walz’s Good Vibes Aren’t Enough”, in Jacobin:

Marigon

The real weirdest part of that is how it was apparently "a secret," yet Marigon still allowed the artist to not only complete the statue, but then put it on display.

I love Hunter Schafer! She would make a fierce Marigon in a live action adaptation

2023 March 13, PorscheUberAlles, Reddit:

Marigon/Radika are acting as a vessel for the ring. I don't know how much of either of them are left.

What I don't understand is how Radagon is Marika. Does she shift between the two or does Radagon split off? Is Messmer her first born through Radika?

fAegon

We see a lot of "Aegon vs fAegon" threads around and the community seems to be in favour of the fAegon theory.

So much of what Cersei did this year lines up with what people expect of fAegon in the books.

R+L=J is most probably true. fAegon is most probably a Blackfyre. Jon and fAegon both grew up believing lies about themselves.

(ASoIaF/GOT fandom slang) The character of Young Griff from the A Song of Ice and Fire novel series, viewed as not truly the long-lost son of Rhaegar Targaryen as presented by the text.

List of A Song of Ice and Fire characters#Aegon Targaryen


Aegriff

Aegriff was not only in hiding, he was also always sheltered and therefore isolated.

Wouldn't either Jon or Aegriff still win under strict Targaryen male-preference primogeniture?

He also thinks to himself that he will see Rhaegar's son claim the Iron Throne. And that's almost certainly in reference to Aegriff, unless he has another Aegon tucked away somewhere.

Coined with reference to the "prince that was promised" prophecy within A Song of Ice and Fire lore.

Like.... we get it, Jaime! We feel your pain! And maybe it's taken 84 years but Bang That Was Promised is surely coming.

It’s crazy to think that the episode that included The Bang That Was Promised turned out to be the worst episode of the entire series, but here we are.

As a good fic goes, it eventually turns into a kiss, then Jaime basically pulls Brienne through the hallways of Winterfell to her chambers. Brienne even states he has no idea where her rooms are, so then she has to lead him. All this lovely banter leads to the Bang That Was Promised and all other kinds of lovey things.

2023 December 13, Proper_Collection525, Reddit:

(ASoIaF/GOT fandom slang, humorous) The first time Jaime Lannister and Brienne of Tarth have sex.

Rhaenicent

Expected Daemyra and Rhaenicent to be popular but wtf how is Lucemond a top 25 ship globally?

I’ve been shipping Rhaenicent since the first episode aired, and I’ve also been Team Black the entire time, and Rhaenyra’s my favorite character.

Alysmond

The only ship I support is Alysmond. Canonically they were the only people in TG [Team Green] who actually loved each other romantically.

Alysmond is a "he/she can make me worse" kind of situation imo and I'm here for it.

Alysmond is one of the most vile relationships in the entire series. She was his literal hostage yet they glorify it calling Aemond “based” and a “milf enjoyer”. Fucking sick.

(fandom slang) The ship of characters Alys Rivers and Aemond Targaryen from Fire & Blood and its television adaptation House of the Dragon.


Alicole

I ship Alicole, but their relationship isn’t based on sex, more of a religious fascination and devotion—courtly love.

2023 September 7, deleted account, Reddit:

Alicole feels like a twisted version of Lancelot and Guinevere. The knight in service of the king who falls in love with the queen.

From Sanskrit छत्र (chatra), variant of छत्त्र (chattra, “umbrella, parasol, chatra”). Doublet of chador and chatta.

The so-called Chatra coins of the Guptas seem in all probability, to have been the issue of Chandragupta I to begin with...

1926, S. Krishnaswami Aiyangar, “Studies in Gupta History”, in Journal of Indian History: University Supplement, page 9:

Dutertegarch

Blend of Duterte + oligarch, after Rodrigo Duterte.

But while Duterte wants to “kill” these two oligarchs, he’s open to the entry of another oligarch, Manny Villar’s Prime Water, to replace Manila Water and Maynilad. Prime Water currently has concessions in several provinces but the transition from Maynilad and Manila Water to Prime Water would make Villar the “water supply king,” the latest Dutertegarch.

My point is that, against the historical backdrop of stereotypical images of Asia (China in particular) in Indian cinema, CC2C certainly comes across as relatively mild, if somewhat offensive.

[…] CC2C was made at a time when there was hitherto unprecedented degree of cross-pollination of Indian and Asian film cultures.

But I meane not hereupon to ſtand, nor to diſcourfe at large, but to let paſſe what vanity there was in him, to compare the accidents which befell to ſome good and vertuous perſons, as for example, the condemnation of Socrates, the burning of Pythagoras quicke by the Cylonians, […]

1603, Plutarch, “The Contradictions of Stoicke Philosophers”, in Philemon Holland, transl., The Philosophie, Commonlie Called, The Morals […], London: […] Arnold Hatfield, →OCLC, page 1075, lines 46–49:

In Crotona, as it appears, the partisans of Pythagoras and the “Cylonians” were, for a long time after the death of Pythagoras, living in opposition as political parties, till at length, about a century later, the Pythagoreans were surprised by their opponents while engaged in a deliberation in the “house of Milo” (who himself had died long before), and, the house being set on fire and surrounded, all perished, with the exception of Archippus and Lysis of Tarentum.

“Cylonians” were the followers of the mighty Cylon of Croton who, in 490 B.C., chased Pythagoras out of Croton to Metapontum where he later died.

1997, Clifford A[lan] Pickover, “Notes”, in The Loom of God: Mathematical Tapestries at the Edge of Time, New York, N.Y.: Plenum Trade, →ISBN, page 271:

The same is true in the case of the list of the survived disciples: Lysis and Archippus are indeed known to escape the peril (Aristoxenus apud Iamb. VP 249-251 [fr. 18 Wehrli]), while already in Herodotus (4.95) Zamolxis (Zalmoxis) is reported to be a personal servant of Pythagoras, who is known, being freed, to leave his master and, upon returning back to his homeland, to spread the Pythagorean wisdom among the Thracians. In a sense, he had also escaped from the hands of the Cylonians, which may explain the confusion.

The redtagging of bookstores, to me, is a sign of a growing push by certain elements in our society to promote ignorance and turn the public against education.

OGB

If you romance alistair and try to kill the Archdemon with no OGB, then he sacrifices himself for you.

Because the OGB cannot play a huge role because of player choice I think Flemeth transported a part of her soul into the eluvian.

I actually remember a theory that Andraste was an OGB with the soul of Dumat, based on the whole "heard the voice of the Maker" thing and the fact that her birth lines up with Dumat's death.

“Richard Neville [1428-1471] was the richest peer in England on his death,” says Insley. “Neville’s sister Cicely was also married to Richard, Duke of York, and it was the collective wealth – and therefore capacity to buy support – that made the Neville/York alliance so dangerous. The Nevilles were probably worth more than the crown.” All sounds very Lannisterian, right?
