# сталкер
## Russian
### Alternative forms

* сто́кер (stóker) — neologism

### Etymology

The word was coined by the Strugatsky brothers for their novel "Roadside Picnic" (1972), as an allusion to Rudyard Kipling's character Stalky from the "Stalky & Co." stories and the English stalker. Ста́лки (Stálki) was well remembered by the Strugatskys from their childhood, when they read the stories in Russian translation. In the "Roadside Picnic", сталкер was a common nickname for men engaged in the illegal trade of prospecting for and smuggling of alien artifacts from the mysterious and dangerous "Zone".

### Pronunciation

* IPA: [ˈstaɫkʲɪr]
* Audio:(file)

### Noun

ста́лкер • (stálker) m anim (genitive ста́лкера, nominative plural ста́лкеры, genitive plural ста́лкеров, feminine ста́лкерша)
* (rare) stalker (a person who stalks game) (see usage notes)
* any person, whose occupation or activity is dangerously similar to those of characters from "Roadside Picnic".
    черно́быльский ста́лкер ― černóbylʹskij stálker ― a Chernobyl stalker, a guide to the Zone of alienation near Chernobyl
** 1972, Братья Стругацкие, chapter 1, in Пикник на обочине, Ленинград: Аврора; English translation from Olena Bormashenko, transl., Roadside Picnic, Chicago: Chicago Review Press, 2012:Никако́й ста́лкер, е́сли он совсе́м не свихну́лся, на пу́шечный вы́стрел к Зо́не не подойдёт, когда́ зна́ет, что за ним следя́т.Nikakój stálker, jésli on sovsém ne svixnúlsja, na púšečnyj výstrel k Zóne ne podojdjót, kogdá znájet, što za nim sledját.No stalker, unless he’s completely nuts, will go anywhere near the Zone when he knows he’s being watched.

#### Usage notes

* It's a traditional translation, although not very accurate in meaning and connotations and it's seldom used in the sense of "stalker".
* The term was popularised by 1979 Andrey Tarkovsky's (Андре́й Тарковсќий) movie with the same name - Stalker (Russian: Ста́лкер).
* The English term "stalker" (a person who secretly follows someone, sometimes with unlawful intentions) is usually described as упо́рный пресле́дователь (upórnyj preslédovatelʹ, “persistent follower”) or челове́к, кото́рый идёт по пята́м (čelovék, kotóryj idjót po pjatám, “person who comes on the heels”). For someone who just "stalks" in general, such as with animals, the terms for this person are следопы́т (sledopýt) or охо́тник (oxótnik).

# shandygaff
## English
### Etymology

The origin is unknown. Perhaps from dialectal shandy (“boisterous, empty-headed”) +‎ gaff (“outcry, nonsense”).

### Noun

shandygaff (countable and uncountable, plural shandygaffs)
* A mixture of strong beer and ginger beer.
** 1892, Robert Louis Stevenson, “Chapter 22”, in The Wrecker:“A bottle of beer for the cabman there at that table,” said Tom. “Whatever you please from shandygaff to champagne at this one here; and you sit down with us. Let me make you acquainted with my friend, Mr. Carthew. I've come on business, Billy; I want to consult you as a friend; I'm going into the island trade upon my own account.”
** 1894, Horace Tucker, “Chapter 32”, in The New Arcadia:On that side, plain for hundreds of miles; on this, forest: there, they drink squash and shandygaff; here, whisky and strong beer
** 1909, H. G. Wells, The History of Mr. Polly, Chapter 1:There would always be weighty enquiries as to what they could have, and it would work out always at cold beef and pickles, or fried ham and eggs and shandygaff, two pints of beer and two bottles of ginger beer foaming in a huge round-bellied jug
** 1920, Christopher Morley, Travels in Philadelphia, South Broad Street:After this excursion into culture and charity, Broad street feels the need of one more whistle-wetting before it wanders off onto the vast expanse of sunny, pollen-scented meadows that stretch toward the dry zones of League Island. For this purpose exists the cool haven of McBride, on the corner of Moyamensing avenue. There I encountered one of the best beakers of shandygaff in my experience. And—wonder of wonders—it can still be bought for a nickel.
