Word of the Day

[nice90sguy]

​

I love coming across new words. It's like discovering a new species of flower.

I'm going to post a new word (meaning new for me, of course, undoubtedly others will already know it) each day on this thread. Feel free to add your own.

My word for today is

hebephilia (Wikipedia entry)​

Not much use on this site, but good to drop in a job interview.

 

[theWollstonecraftWoman]

As in keep your budding beauties entering the flower of bloom away from me on the job, but I'd love to babysit them after work so you and the missus can have a night out.

You can write about Ephebophilia, as long as you concern yourself with the last two years of attraction for the "sufferer," pervert, or deviant. Choose your own word, and insert.

 

[MillieDynamite]

Oh, and I learned a new word yesterday, Dipsomaniac. I swear, never before had I noticed the word, written or in conversation. I'm sure it was used; it just never caught my attention before Jo called a guy a dipsomaniac. Noun, Dipsomaniac, an individual with an insatiable craving for alcoholic beverages.

Lol I learned that word at the same time. Can't say I suffer from either, I've always been into older women -- which at my age reduces the field daily.

 

[Dr_Strabismus]

Not really a new word, but I only just found out what a "taint" is. I won't post a pic.

Obsequious

 

[nice90sguy]

Today's word is another "philia"

emetophilia

- which I just saw for the first time on another thread here. It's red-underlined in this text box, so not in my computer's dictionary.

Without checking, I guess the -phobia antonym is also a word. My younger son has emetophobia. The sight of vomit makes him vomit.

I have kinks and fetishes coming out of my ass, but alas, I'm too vanilla for emetophilia.

 

[theWollstonecraftWoman]

Obsequiousness = Full of or exhibiting servile compliance; fawning. Sometimes called trying too hard to please.

It is used in conjunction with submission in BDSM circles about subs that can't get enough h attention from the master to the point of being pest. Also associated with sycophantic or sycophantical or sycophantish. It isn't a new word to me, but in doing some research for a BNWO story, the whites posting came off as totally obsequious, sycophantical and those words popped into my head.

Basically we're talking a brown noser?

 

[theWollstonecraftWoman]

Well, I believe it goes beyond that. Sycophants are dangerous people if they become too obsessed. While those who are obsequious are just annoying. When they are one and the same, it can be extremely dangerous for the object of their desire. A certain Latina performer comes to mind, Selena Quintanilla-Perez, (known simply as Selena) murdered by her fan club manager.

 

[theWollstonecraftWoman]

To be fair, Yolanda Saldívar was also a liar, thief, and all-round nasty person.

There's also the example of "Dimebag Darell" of Pantera who joined another ban Damageplan and a deranged fan walked up onto the stage, shot and killed him

I sort of remember this, even though I was four or five at the time of her death. Still in my birth family home at that time in Huston and she died in Corpus Christy.

Hagiography
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagiography

A hagiography (/ˌhæɡiˈɒɡrəfi/; from Ancient Greek ἅγιος, hagios 'holy', and -γραφία, -graphia 'writing')[1] is a biography of a saint or an ecclesiastical leader, as well as, by extension, an adulatory and idealized biography of a preacher, priest, founder, saint, monk, nun or icon in any of the world's religions.

I used it in one of my recent stories.

I like the sound of the word! How words sound is important, even if you only hear them in your head.

incel

Another word which I'm sure is familiar to a lot of people here, but I'm old. My wife called me one yesterday, then told me to Google it. Kind of harsh, but kind of accurate too.

 

[theWollstonecraftWoman]

INCELS the plural form of the word, is an official acronym for Ignorant Nerdy Clitdicked Elitist Loser Slobs. So, you know, goes without saying they have issues. It's an international club that seems to expand by leaps and bounds when one of the nonmembers realize they'll never get pussy!

[nice90sguy]

Although wikipedia says it's involuntary celibates, and the term was originally coined by a woman, who started a user group.

That is a backronym. It originated on Reddit as Involuntary Celibate. Meant as a descriptive term for a temporary dating situation, it shifted to mean basement dwelling losers who where cringy 'nice guys'.

 

[MillieDynamite]

I think, not postive, but I think, theWollstonecraftWoman was making a joke.

 

[nice90sguy]

Didn't learn any new words yesterday, but encountered the word "Harry" far too much.

 

[MillieDynamite]

Acreocracy – Signifies a landlord's interest. Commonly used in the 19th century but not so common in the 21st.

Monospony:

In economics, a monopsony is a market structure in which a single buyer substantially controls the market as the major purchaser of goods and services offered by many would-be sellers. The microeconomic theory of monopsony assumes a single entity to have market power over all sellers as the only purchaser of a good or service.

Ooh, another cool economics term I recently discovered - Veblen good. A luxury good where the demand increases the higher the price of the good.
