alt-right

(XXIᵉ siècle) Abréviation de alternative right « droite alternative », car elle constitue une alternative aux idéologies conventionnelles de droite et républicaines étatsuniennes. Le mot tire son sens actuel d'un site Web appelé « Alternative Right » créé par Richard Spencer et Colin Liddell en 2010, utilisé seulement sporadiquement avant 2010. Le mot est devenu important en 2015 avec la montée en puissance de Donald Trump.

So a right without a Buckley will probably be smaller, and uglier to boot. I would expect this alt-right to be a lot more vigorously opposed to the civil rights movement than OTL's. It will also be much less relevant, and probably not snag a certain Californian actor. I predict, then, that America, on the whole, looks a bit more like a Western European social democracy, but with a right wing that looks (hmm...thinking...) well, looks almost fascist.

Andrew Reeves, Re: VDI: William F. Buckley Jr., publié sur soc.history.what-if, le 31 mars 2003

But the cultural conflict between these two post-revolutionary styles — between frat guys and feminist bluestockings, Gamergaters and the diversity police, alt-right provocateurs and ‘woke’ dudebros, the mouthbreathers who poured hate on the all-female 'Ghostbusters' and the tastemakers who pretended it was good — is likely here to stay.

bohriate

L’IUPAC a décidé, fin XXᵉ siècle, d’utiliser bohriate plutôt que bohrate pour éviter l’homonymie avec borate. On trouve encore bohrate dans certaines sources, cependant.

There was some concern however that the name might be confused with boron and in particular the distinguishing of the names of their respective oxo-ions bohrate and borate. Despite this, the name bohrium for element 107 was recognized internationally in 1997. The IUPAC subsequently decided that bohrium salts should be called bohriates.

self-determination

Support for what has been called self-determination would be less automatic or likely than was the case in the era of decolonization. Existing governments would agree to be open to considering bids for statehood in cases where there is historical justification, a compelling rationale, demonstrated support by the population in question and viability of the territory, including its potential ability to meet its obligations as a sovereign entity.

O. Henry, Sixes and Sevens, chapitre VI (« Ulysses and the Dogman »), Doubleday, Page & Company, Garden City, New York, 1899–1910 (1ʳᵉ édition 1911) (OCLC 7113119), page 64

A dogman, he [John Moore] said, likes having tails wagged at him, wants to be looked up to, and tends for that reason to be quite a good leader. A catman, on the other hand, is made slightly uncomfortable by spaniel eyes and devoted tail thumpings. Dogmen seem to prefer the outdoors, adventure, jungles, deserts, and are attracted by the army. Little is heard of cats in army officers' messes or barracks.

John Montgomery, The Wolrd of Cats, « Are You a Catman? », Hamlyn Publishing Group⁽ᵉⁿ⁾, New York, New York, 1968, ISBN 978-0-600-00635-0, page 11

Dogfights are most commonly staged in secluded rural areas such as barns or fields. […] When a contract is drawn up for a fight, the participants decide on a central location. They then contact a dogman in that area to make arrangements to have the fight at a location that he provides. […] On the day of the fight the participants and the spectators, usually members of the fraternity, which tends to be almost exclusively male, meet at a dogman’s house near the location where the fight will take place. […] This gathering of the fraternity before the event is a very important element of the dogmen subculture.

Rhonda D. Evans, Craig J. Forsyth, in Deviant Behavior, « The World of Dogfighting », Allyn & Bacon, Needham Heights, 2011, page 333

Variante orthographique de dog man, homme aimant les chiens en tant qu’animaux de compagnie, souvent par opposition à ceux qui préfèrent les chats.

Créature imaginaire mi-homme mi-chien ; divinité mi-homme mi-chien.

[T]his tradition certainly influenced that of Dog-Men (cynanthropy) and of dog-headed men (cynocephaly), […] Dog-Men, however, have historically enjoyed a much richer and more varied mythology than their lycanthropic cousins, no doubt as a result of the ambiguity of the dog itself as much as of cultural or historical trends.

David Gordon White⁽ᵉⁿ⁾, of the Dog-man, « Hell is Other People », University of Chicago Press, Chicago, Illinois, 1991, page 15

A dogman’s legs are back bent, crooked as a dog’s. Its body is covered in fine fur, and its face has a dog-like snout and ear. A dogman’s arms and torso are completely humanoid, save for the its strange paws, that are vaguely human-like, but with thick dark claws.

Sightings of mysterious creatures that appear to be part human and part wolf are reported in modern times all over the world.

Bad Lands

(1852) Calque du français Mauvaises Terres (également attesté en anglais), composé de bad (« mauvais ») et lands (« terres »).

Mauvaises Terres, région ravinée et difficilement franchissable du Dakota du Nord.

The Mauvaises Terres, or Bad Lands, as they are named, constitute a district of country extending along the foot of the Black Hills, a spur of the Rocky Mountains, situated between the Platte, or Nebraska, and the Missouri Rivers, at the head of certain branches of the latter called the L’eau-qui-court, White, Cheyenne, and Moreau rivers.

Joseph Leidy, The ancient fauna of Nebraska, Smithsonian Institution, 1852, page 10

Theodore [Roosevelt] saw grandeur and mystery. The Bad Lands were “dreary and forbidding,” they were “as grim and desolate and forbidding as any spot on earth could be,” and he felt he belonged. “The country is growing on me, more and more,” he had written Bamie in June, “it has a curious, fantastic beauty of its own...” The Bad Lands looked, he decided, the way Poe sounds.
