What else could it all mean but that Mr. Robert Weymouth was an absconder—was about to fly with the bank’s remaining funds […]

dildo

與其他無意義的音節如 dido 和 diddle(-diddle) 相關，它們同樣發展出性別意義。至少從 16 世紀開始就已發現，通常出現在與性別意義有關的脈絡中（上文）。可能受到中古英語 dildoun (“親愛的，寵物”)，早期現代英語 dildin (“親愛的”)的影響；對比古諾爾斯語 dilla (“平靜下來”)，dillindo (“催眠曲”)。

coccolithophore

來自古希臘語 κόκκος (kókkos，“穀物，種子”) + λίθος (líthos，“石頭”) + φόρος (phóros，“攜帶”)；這一複合詞指的是浮游植物的生命週期如何導致微小的種子狀外骨骼沉積，形成方解石。

staking

繼承自中古英語 stakyng、staking，來自古英語 stacung (“用木樁刺”)，來自古英語 *stacian (“打樁”)，等同於stake + -ing。

Despite the quick, clean “dustings” shown on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or the bloody stakings in so many vampire films, the stake was not a weapon used to actually destroy a vampire but a tool in a more elaborate exorcism.

Caucasus

通过拉丁語 Caucasus，< 古希臘語 Καύκασος (Kaúkasos)。

高加索山脈，東歐的山脈，位於黑海與裏海之間，橫跨俄羅斯、格鲁吉亚（喬治亞）、亞美尼亞和阿塞拜疆（亞塞拜然）的領土，包括大高加索山脈和小高加索山脈。

angiosperm

源自古希臘語 ἀγγεῖον (angeîon，“容器”) + σπέρμα (spérma，“種子”)。

As with the Lejeuneaceae, this pattern of massive speciation appears to be correlated with the Cretaceous explosion of the angiosperms and the simultaneous creation of a host of new microenvironments, differing in humidity, light intensity, texture, etc.

與 Lejeuneaceae 一樣，這種大規模物種形成模式似乎與白堊紀被子植物的爆發以及同時創造出的大量新的微環境有關，這些微環境在濕度、光照強度、紋理等方面各不相同。

1992年，魯道夫馬蒂亞斯舒斯特，The Hepaticae and Anthocerotae of North America: East of the Hundredth Meridian，卷 V, 伊州芝加哥: 菲爾德自然史博物館, →ISBN，頁s 3-4:

The notion of magnoliaceans as the most primitive living angiosperms, justified or not, does not mean that all their characters, including multilacunar nodal anatomy and the lack of tannins, are primary.

木蘭科植物作為最原始的被子植物，無論合理與否，並不意味著它們的所有特徵，包括多隙節解剖結構和缺乏單寧，都是原始的。

1997，Valentin A. Krassilov，Angiosperm Origins: Morphological and Ecological Aspects，頁 134:

With all these features, it is pretty easy for one to identify an angiosperm. This is a very normal and common practice for neobotanists. However, the situation becomes complicated when you go back to the early history of angiosperms.

social justice warrior

How will your upper class social justice warrior cope with men swearing and pushing each other? Will she faint at the first sight of blood from a split lip? Or will she hike up her skirts, grab a hot soup spoon, and brain the first aggressor she can find?

2014，Krista D. Ball，Hustlers, Harlots, and Heroes: A Regency and Steampunk Field Guide，Tyche Books Ltd., →ISBN:

But the partisan liberals in the Obama adminstration think that the rules don't apply to them. They are blind to the dragon's teeth of division and mistrust that their social justice politics sows in the body politic. They honor and celebrate the "activist," the "community organizer" and the social justice warrior, whose proud life purpose is to "raise consciousness" of injustice and marginalization.

2014，Joe Cooper，“It's Not 'Unwisdom', It's Hubris -- Hubris often indicates a loss of contact with reality.”, in soc.culture.usa (Usenet):

Finally, social justice warriors always portray themselves—and seem to experience themselves—as actively suffering victims who need protection.

The Irish and Ireland people (who are frequently troubled with lice, and such as will fly, as they say, in summer) anoint their shirts with saffron, and to very good purpose, to drive away the lice, but after six months they wash their shirts again, putting fresh saffron into the lye.

Saffron is the stigma of the crocus flower, which is harvested by hand, dried, and sold either in strands or ground to powder.[…]Of all the medieval spices, saffron was the most expensive, which is not surprising given that 70,000 flowers only yield one pound of dried stigmas.

tilak

源自梵語 तिलक (tilaka)。

I wore these spots of shine and silver like tilaks, the marks of colour that we Hindus wear on our foreheads as symbols of the divine.

我貼上這些像吉祥記一樣閃光銀色的點，我們印度教徒會在額頭上貼上這種代表神明符號的標誌。

He dressed in a dhoti, had a wispy white beard that trailed down to his waist, and regularly smeared across his forehead a tilaka, a pitchfork-shaped design that signifies enlightenment.

two heads are better than one

"Mr. Francis Osbaldistone is an innocent man, Rashleigh," said Miss Vernon, "and he demands an investigation of the charge against him, and I intend to support him in it."
"You do, my pretty cousin?—I should think, now, Mr. Francis Osbaldistone was likely to be as effectually, and rather more delicately, supported by my presence than by yours."
"Oh, certainly; but two heads are better than one, you know."

On the principle that two heads are better than one, he resolved to take his companion, Jones, into his confidence and ask him to make a suggestion.

I was about sixty feet ahead of this film in many spots, which speaks rather poorly for it. And I resented the heartthrobs which were planted in my bosom with a shoehorn via the "little child" process.

1935，Don Herold，Going to the Movies，Life Magazine January 1935.:

Now you cannot but observe, that most of our fine young Ladies readily fall in with the Direction of the Graver sort, to retain in their Service, by some small Encouragement, as great a Number as they can of supernumerary and insignificant Fellows, which they use like Whiflers, and commonly call Shoeing-Horns. These are never designed to know the length of the Foot, but only when a good Offer comes to whet and spur him up to the Point. Nay 'tis the Opinion of that grave Lady, Madam Matchwell, that it's absolutely convenient for every prudent Family to have several of these Implements about the House, to clap on as occasion serves, and that every Spark ought to produce a Certificate of his being a Shoeing-Horn, before he be admitted as a Shoe. A certain Lady, whom I could name, if it was necessary, has at present more Shoeing-Horns of all Sizes, Countries, and Colours, in her Service, than ever she had new Shoes in her Life.

The insultant draws lines on a person to reduce them to the person they see and want others to see; and lines which they want the insulted one to feel.
