fractal dimension
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: fractal dimensions
Senses: examples: text: Conventional statistical analyses presuppose that intrinsic variability is white noise.

By contrast, the successive observations of pink noise tend to be positively correlated. This results in a less jagged trial series, and lower fractal dimensions that fall in the interval between 1 and 1.5.
ref: 2005, John G. Holden, Gauging the Fractal Dimension of Response Times from Cognitive Tasks:

Gordon Bennett
Language: English
Part of speech: intj
Etymology: For James Gordon Bennett, Jr., a New York newspaper proprietor and playboy during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries who became widely known for his extravagant lifestyle and shocking behaviour. The first time the expression appears in print was in 1937, in James Curtis's novel, You’re in the Racket, Too. The Oxford English Dictionary places the phrase in the 1890s as an alteration of gorblimey and again in reference to James Gordon Bennett Jr.
The name was probably chosen because the first syllable of Gordon sounds like God in non-rhotic pronunciations, which would make this a minced oath.
