let's go, Brandon

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-let's go, Brandon.wav

From a 2021 interview with racing driver Brandon Brown when a reporter incorrectly described NASCAR fans chanting "fuck Joe Biden" as chanting "let's go, Brandon".

When Republican Rep. Bill Posey of Florida ended an Oct. 21 House floor speech with a fist pump and the phrase “Let’s go, Brandon!” it may have seemed cryptic and weird to many who were listening.

[2021 October 31, Colleen Long, “How ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ became code for insulting Joe Biden”, in AP News, Associated Press:

“A sieve of a southern border, the supply chain massacred, food prices rising by the day, crime rampant in big cities and being browbeaten continuously by Beijing. Yes, he is a real success.” Flanagan then adds sarcastically, “One more thing, ‘Let's Go Brandon.’”

2021 November 11, Mark Bonokoski, quoting Steve Flanagan, “BONOKOSKI: ‘Let's go Brandon! Let's go Brandon!’”, in Toronto Sun:

State Rep. Dave Williams, who is challenging eight-term GOP congressman Doug Lamborn in an intraparty contest, sued Democratic Secretary of State Jena Griswold last week after her office rejected allowing his name to appear on the ballot as Dave “Let's Go Brandon” Williams.

2022 April 30, John Dorman, “Colorado Supreme Court says GOP lawmaker can't use ‘Let's Go Brandon’ nickname on congressional ballot”, in Business Insider:

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene visited a D.C. jail to check on conditions for the Jan. 6 defendants, with Republican lawmakers handshaking and high-fiving the prisoners, who chanted “Let's Go Brandon!” – a coded vulgarity against President Joe Biden – as the group left.

2023 March 27, “X, y, z: News from around our 50 states”, in USA Today, page B3:

(US, slang, US politics) A euphemism for “fuck Joe Biden”.

making something more closer to Hindu nationalism

Even though the later episode 'Doppelgangland' (Buffy 3.16) suggests that the 'Wishverse' exists parallel to the Buffyverse and that characters can move from one parallel universe to another by magic, none of the characters except vengeance demon Anyaka can remember anything about the other world.

Gippermania

After eight years of Ronald Reagan and Gippermania, Bush and Dukakis both have their work cut out for them.

1988, The Illustrated London News, volume 276, page 102:

I saw him as a Reagan hangover, and unlike my fellow citizens, I had never cared much for Ronnie. Maybe I was just in a bad mood from being in prison, or maybe, by dint of being inside, I was immune to the raging Gippermania that hit the country.

2000, Lydia Millet, George Bush, Dark Prince of Love: A Presidential Romance, page 17:

There was only a one-week frenzy window between Gippermania and the pending Clinton memoir, and Weinstein flew right through it.

Gipper

From Reagan's role as George "The Gipper" Gipp (1895-1920) in the 1940 film Knute Rockne, All American, which lead to him acquiring the nickname "the Gipper," later popularized by the media during his presidency.

It took no more than a jaunty one-liner in the second presidential debate—"I refuse to hold my opponent's youth against him"—for large numbers of people to be reassured that if the Gipper had ever been out of it, he was now back.

1992, Michael Weiler, W. Barnett Pearce, Reagan and Public Discourse in America, page 137:

Over the eight years of the Reagan presidency, the Gipper asked Congress for $16.1 billion more in spending than it passed into law.

1999, Al Franken, Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations, page 126:

[…] most of the Ford vote from 1976, which Bush had hoped to claim, went heavily for the Gipper.

Gipperism

Here is a dose of pure Gipperism from 1981, amid the budget wars: “Long before there was a government welfare program, th[e] spirit of voluntary giving was ingrained in the American character.”

1992, Jay Nordlinger, “Giving Thanks”, in The Weekly Standard, published 1995 November 27, page 4:

Most liberals haven't figured it out yet, but the fraud of Gipperism is on the ash heap of history.

1997 February 25, BretCahill, “Ken Starr's Misjudgment...”, in talk.politics.libertarian (Usenet):

The earlier Bush, the 41st president, campaigned for the White House in 1988 as the heir to Ronald Reagan but then broke faith with Gipperism, most notably when he repudiated his “read my lips, no new taxes” pledge

1994, Samuel T. Francis, Beautiful Losers: Essays on the Failure of American Conservatism, page 199:

Even the most antigovernment of Gipperites weren't ready to turn their back on the war on drugs, as Cato urged, but program cutting, bashing, these sorts of things were right in the main.

2007, Brian Doherty, Radicals for Capitalism: A Freewheeling History of the Modern American Libertarian Movement, pages 452–453:

[Elephant reading a bedtime story titled Prez Race '08 to its child]: Then the Gipperites discovered there was no such thing as a Bushie. It had all been just a bad dream.

While these Treknological wonders were introduced as story devices, they also serve as testaments to Roddenberry's faith in the potential of human intellect.

[…] and debating details of accuracy ranging from paint schemes and decal placement to the configuration of warp nacelles and colors of running lights. Indeed, the latter area directly inherits a tradition of "Treknological" argument in which fans' endless charting and policing of the franchise's timeline and established “facts” function not so much as a stabilizing force but an arena of contestation and negotiation between canonical and fanonical spheres of knowledge, enacted both in material and virtual forms.

2017, Bob Rehak, “From Model Building to 3D Printing: Star Trek and Build Code Across the Analog/Digital Divide”, in Melissa A. Click, Suzanne Scott, editors, The Routledge Companion to Media Fandom, unnumbered page:

Learned borrowing from Latin Bȳzās, from Ancient Greek Βύζας (Búzas).

2019, Marion Kruse, The Politics of Roman Memory: From the Fall of the Western Empire to the Age of Justinian, University of Pennsylvania Press, →ISBN, page 49:

(Ancient Greece) The legendary founder of Byzantium.


Himeros

Borrowed from Ancient Greek Ἵμερος (Hímeros), ἵμερος (hímeros, “yearning, desire”).

1999, Janet Lloyd (translator), Claude Calame, Taylor & Francis (Routledge), The Poetics of Eros in Ancient Greece, [1992, I Greci e l'eros], Princeton University Press, pages 31-32,
A late-fifth-century hydria represents Himeros as a young boy who is present at the judgment of Paris: while Eros concentrates on winning over the young shepherd, Himeros and Pothos flank Aphrodite, indicating that this is the goddess upon whom his choice will fall. And a famous black-figure plaque dating from as early as dating from as early as the mid-sixth century shows Aphrodite holding in her arms two wingless children named, respectively, Himeros and Pothos.

While both love gods Eros and Himeros are regularly associated with Aphrodite, and they often appear together or separately in overtly erotic contexts, it is a bit tricky to differentiate between these two figures with precision.

2010, Monica S. Cyrino, Aphrodite, page 45:

The Greeks observed that Himeros often mingled with other goddesses, namely the Graces and the Hours and with Persuasion (Peitho) and Eros, all in the company of Aphrodite. How strange it is that in our times, Himeros often is found in the company of boredom, weariness and emptiness, since to experience desire and yearning is regarded as being deprived! Even though fulfillment is yet to come, Himeros is neither bored nor deprived.

2010, Betty Mallett Smith, The Greek Dialogues, Xlibris, page 460:

(Greek mythology) The Greek god of uncontrollable desire, often depicted as a winged child attendant to Aphrodite.

From the historical point of view, trade and expansion in this period began as a reaction to the barbarian threat of the Hsiung-nu on the northern and northwestern frontiers, and ended not only in the inclusion of various barbarian groups into the empire, such as the Southern Hsiung-nu, the Ch’iang, the Wu-huan, and the Southwestern barbarians, but also in the Sinicization of them to greater and lesser degrees.

2001, “May 6-16: Hunger Strike”, in The Tiananmen Papers, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, pages 172–173:

Although it may be premature to take the passing of “peaceful rise” as a turning point, it does appear that it is getting increasingly difficult for Zhongnanhai to pronounce a policy with a catchy label and then expect the whole policy and scholarly communities to follow (although many scholars will just follow it for various reasons), especially if the policy really matters. The good old days when the Politburo could set a policy and expect everyone just to fall into line seem to be gone. Today, it seems that Zhongnanhai needs some acquiescence from society in order to proceed with its priority policy package.

The Demunists are caught between having to appear sane and reasonable and having to appease their Commiecrat core elements, which have taken over the party since the 1970's. The Demunist Commiecrats are melting down, and the reasonable Democrats (Zell Miller of GA is the only one who comes to mind at the moment), are breaking ranks.

Isonade

/ˌiːsəʊˈnɑːdeɪ/

Transliteration of Japanese 磯撫で (いそなで, Isonade, literally “shore stroker”).

translit

With more than 70% of the Earth's surface submerged beneath water, it comes as no surprise that throughout history mankind has been fascinated with the seas and oceans. In earlier years this fascination manifested itself in the form of fear and mystery; […] in Japanese stories, fierce winds would blow whenever Isonade, a shark-like sea monster, appeared.

2009 June, Marios Christou, “Introduction”, in Fully Nonlinear Computations of Waves and Wave-structure Interaction (unpublished Ph.D. thesis), London: Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Imperial College London, →DOI, →OCLC, page 25:

Another Japanese giant fish is Isonade, a sharklike sea monster that causes strong winds and also capsizes boats or catches unwary fishermen with the hooks on its huge tail.

2011, Gene Helfman, Bruce Collette, “Fishes in Stories and Literature”, in Fishes: The Animal Answer Guide, Baltimore, Md.: Johns Hopkins University Press, →ISBN, page 131:

Nipponese sailors traveling along the western coast of Japan are warned to keep a weather eye open for the Isonade, akin in form to a huge shark with hook-like barbs on its tail. Much as the giant namazu catfish of Japanese legend is associated with earthquakes, the movements of the gigantic Isonade are said to be the source of sudden changes in sea currents and winds from the north.

Elsanna

Ultimately, Elsanna femslash considers the repressive power of sexual taboo insofar as it can reject that power, electing instead, as Elsa's character sings in the film's coming-out scene par excellence, to "let it go."

2019, Sara K. Howe, Susan E. Cook, “Introduction: Entering the Fringe”, in Sara K. Howe, Susan E. Cook, editors, Representing Kink: Fringe Sexuality and Textuality in Literature, Digital Narrative, and Popular Culture, page 11:

Fans of the show Supernatural have created digitally manipulated images of its two male leads, the Wincester brothers, in bed together (aka “Wincest”), and fan-fiction stemming from the popular children’s film Frozen (2013) casts the two sisters, Elsa and Anna, as lovers (aka “Elsanna”).

2019, Lara Karaian, “Relative Lust: Accidental Incest’s Affective and Legal Resonances”, in Law, Culture and the Humanities, volume 15, number 3, pages 8–9:

While other male/male fan pairings were referred to more often than elsanna, it was the first and only female/female pairing that I came across during my search.

2021, Victor Larsen, "'It Makes Me, A Minor, Uncomfortable': Media and Morality In Anti-Shippers' Policing of Online Fandom", thesis submitted to Ghent University, page 43

(fandom slang) The incestuous ship of the fictional sisters Elsa and Anna from the Frozen franchise.


anti-relationshipper

I realize the subject of the nature of M&S's relationship is a sore point around here, but I've never written about it before, and was invited to share my two cents. I'd like to propose that in addition to relationshippers and anti-relationshippers, there is a third faction of viewers, such as myself, who for lack of a better word I'll call "fence-sitters."

1996 June 24, Deb Mikels, “Never say never”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

I would probably be classed as an anti-relationshipper myself, because my advice would be to close out the Tease and have them settle down to a deep, abiding, nonsexual love.

1996 November 6, Lee Burwasser, “Re: Are shippers dumb?”, in alt.tv.x-files (Usenet):

I am a fervent and proud anti-relationshipper. No non-platonic relationship whatsoever, and I'm happy.

Okay, let me explain something to you.
This is a Pokémon newsgroup. This is where people who like Pokémon come to talk, not where bashing of Pokémon is encouraged. If you dislike Pokémon to such a degree, and think so lowly of those who like it, then you are lowering your own mental activity by visiting this newsgroup and posting TWICE.
Also, you never did explain what's wrong with Pokémon, besides that it's popular among seventh-grade students.
You didn't understand that? Okay, let me put it in your language:
U fuckin' fag, dis is a damn Pokeyman newsgrup! Why da hell are u fuckin' dissin' Pokeyman in a fuckin' Pokeyman newsgrup?!
There. Did you understand that? Good.
