Paired adults were re-forming their relationships; returning birds went in for bouts of head flicking and kissing. Neighbors were in dispute, caterwauling above the din.” — Tim Dee, The New York Review of Books , 11 Sept. 2018 Did you know? An angry (or amorous ) cat can make a lot of noise. As long ago as the mid-1300s, English speakers were using caterwaul for the act of voicing feline passions. The cater part is, of course, connected to the cat, but scholars disagree about whether it traces to Middle Dutch cāter , meaning “tomcat,” or if it is really just cat with an “-er” added. The waul is pro...

Instead of running from a rock, Croft spends the game running through a city that crumbles around her as the world is reduced to shambles .” — Bob Fekete, Newsweek , 21 Sept. 2018  “Career success does not exist in a vacuum. If the home life is a mess and the children and bills and house are in shambles , then it’s very hard, if not impossible, to succeed at work.” — Gail Saltz, quoted in Psychology Today , 1 May 2018 Did you know?

Multitudinous is one of many English words that make use of the combining form multi- , from Latin multus , meaning “much” or “many.” Multicolor , multifunction , and multimillionaire are just a few of the others. Multitudinous is the kind of highly expressive word that you can rely upon when you want something a little more emphatic than plain old numerous . Among its synonyms are multiple and multifo...

原文链接 原文链接 Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Day for October 27, 2018 is: pamphleteer • \pam-fluh-TEER\  • verb 1 : to write and publish pamphlets 2 : to engage in partisan arguments indirectly in writings Examples: Though he is remembered today for his novels and essays, George Orwell was also known to pamphleteer for causes important to him. “After the pamphlet wars between supporters of Louis XIII and Marie de Medicis, in 1618-19, several pamphleteers were sentenced to death, and the attempt to arrest unlicensed booksellers led many to flee the country. More broadly, the political chaos brought about by pamphleteering in France contributed to the absolutism of Louis XIV, who used the printing press as a tool of state control.” — Stephen Marche, The New Yorker , 23 Apr. 2018 Did you know? Pamphlets—unbound printed publications with no covers or with paper covers—are published about all kinds of subjects, but our word pamphlet traces back to one particular document. I...

In an imaginative appropriation of the text of Scripture, and through the workings of grace, we somehow understand beyond articulation….” — Edward T. Wheeler, Commonweal , 6 Oct. 2017 Did you know? Holy Writ has been used in English as a synonym for Bible for more than a thousand years.

Bede’s history was translated from Latin to English around the year 900, a...

原文链接 原文链接 Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Day for October 25, 2018 is: fugacious • \fyoo-GAY-shus\  • adjective : lasting a short time : evanescent Examples: The rock band’s rise in popularity turned out to be fugacious , and within two years its members had moved on to other careers. “The maple leaves are a yellow light signaling me to slow down and take in the last pulse of color of a fugacious fall.” — David Johnson, The Daily News of Newburyport (Massachusetts), 26 Nov. 2013 Did you know? Fugacious is often used to describe immaterial things like emotions, but not always. Botanists, for example, use it to describe plant parts that wither or fall off before the usual time. Things that are fugacious are fleeting, and etymologically they can also be said to be fleeing. Fugacious derives from the Latin verb fugere , which means “to flee.” Other descendants of fugere include fugitive , refuge , and subterfuge . Lake桑 October 25, 2018 at 01:00PM

One comprised the apprentice boys, who, upon certain days of the week, were indoctrinated in the mysteries of the primer by an invalid corporal of marines, a slender, wizzen-cheeked man, who had received a liberal infant-school education.” — Herman Melville, White Jacket , 1850 Did you know?

Few films aspire to be both a mawkish tearjerker and a Hitchcockian thriller, and  The Book Of Henry  makes a pretty convincing case why more shouldn’t.” — Tim Grierson, Screen International , 15 June 2017 “Now for the tears of joy, the kind to which mawkish septuagenarians fall prey. First was the experience of taking the grandchildren to Giffords Circus…. ” — Max Hastings, The Spectator , 26 Aug. 2017 Did you know? The etymology of mawkish really opens up a can of worms—or, more properly, maggots. The first part of mawkish derives from Middle English mawke , which me...

原文链接 原文链接 Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Day for October 22, 2018 is: brouhaha • \BROO-hah-hah\  • noun : a state of commotion or excitement : hubbub , uproar Examples: There was much brouhaha in the tabloids over the young actor’s sudden marriage to the woman who had been his high school sweetheart. “But where do you go, when the temperatures are soaring and you want to cool off but without all of the brouhaha that comes along with a trip to one of our more popular, crowded city beaches?” — Ji Suk Yi, The Chicago Sun-Times , 25 July 2018 Did you know? Some etymologists think brouhaha is onomatopoeic in origin, but others believe it comes from the Classical Hebrew phrase barukh habba’ , meaning “blessed be he who arrives” (Psalms 118:26). Although we borrowed brouhaha directly from French in the late 18th century, etymologists have connected the French derivation to that frequently recited Hebrew phrase, distorted to something like brouhaha by worshippers whose kn...

原文链接 原文链接 所以呢？ 人们莫名的压抑了自己的天性，只是为了取悦别人，大概就是社交的意义。 转发 @Horacex : 网络上应警惕陌生人。对没有礼貌，不知分寸距离感的评论、私信、请求、询问，一概怀着不理不睬的绝对无视，机械冷漠。 此外，对任何“看了其主页之后全然不觉有任何可取之处”的陌生人，也应该保持绝对静默 ——注意，我说的是绝对“静默”，而不是“拒绝”。具体表现就是：一字不回，一字不评，一言不发，要让对方完全不知道你是否看到读到对你的评论和消息，也绝对不表露丝毫你的心理波动或反馈。 让TA对你的消息，像一杯水倒进一片沙漠一样。 令人不悦的，第一秒直接删除拉黑，是心情平静远离风险的最高效策略。 因为；糟糕的人，像致命病毒，绝不可沾惹丝毫。 逻辑是这样的：如果你一开始就不希望跟一个人发生任何交集或互动，就不应回应一丝一毫，一旦回应，就打开了“概率”的盒子，这个盒子里，装着各种糟糕的可能性：全然不同的教育背景思维方式、不可逾越的意识形态差异、不可调和的政治分歧、缺乏分寸的性别距离、纠缠不休的争论、各种你想保持“不知情权”但对方非要倾倒给你的个人隐私、各种你能提出建议方案但对方无能力做到的困局、可能导致误会的其他问题。 你想把这些可能性再塞回盒子？那可就大费周章了——你即将承担：维护体面、基本礼貌、社会规范、人的本能善意等等各种成本。 如果我的动物直觉告诉我：这些可能性不会是令人愉快的，结果多半是准的。 我可不敢再付出那些成本了，真的，太贵了。贵得我回一个字，都觉得害怕。 上网快20年，绝对真理。 Lake桑

Occurring frequently in news articles and headlines, rebuff derives (via Middle French rebuffer ) from Old Italian ribuffare , meaning “to reprimand,” and ultimately from the imitative verb buffare , meaning “to puff.” (You might guess that the verb buff , meaning “to polish,” is a buffare des...

You’re probably familiar with adjacent , and if you guessed that it’s a relative of superjacent , you’re right. Both derive from the Latin verb jacēre , meaning “to lie.” Adjacent , which is both the more popular and the earlier word (it first appeared in print in the 15th century, while superjacent turned up in the late 16t...

Nary , most often used in the phrase “nary a” to mean “not a single,” is an 18th-century alteration of the adjectival phrase “ne’er a,” in which ne’er is a contraction of never . That contraction dates to the 13th century, and the word it abbreviates is even older: never can be traced back to Old English nǣfre , a combination of ne (“not” or “no”) and ǣfre (“ever”). Old English ne also combined with ā (“always”) to give us nā , the Old English ancestor of our no . Ā , from the Latin aevum (“age” or “lifetime”) and Greek aiōn (“a...

Viewers reluctantly moved on, but we did not forget the girl who was quick with a quip , and perhaps even quicker with a taser.” — Karla Peterson, The San Diego Union Tribune , 25 Aug. 2018 Did you know? Quip is an abbreviation of quippy , a noun that is no longer in use.
