jointist
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: jointists
Etymology: From joint (“restaurant, bar, or nightclub”) + -ist.
Senses: examples: text: In Kansas no man dares to flaunt his sign in the eyes of the public, to entice custom; the liquor seller is the sneaking boot-legger, skulking jointist, criminal and outlaw, afraid of every shadow that falls across his hiding-place […]
ref: 1892, Henry M. Gougar, “Christ and the Liquor Seller”, in The Arena: Volume 7, page 467:
text: While we were waiting for the train one day, a prominent Topeka jointist was talking with her. Presently he went out on the platform, I where some one heard him say, "There were a lot more things I wanted to say, but I should have broken down and made a fool of myself if I had stayed there any longer." Later I heard this man talking with another jointist on the train, and he was insisting that Mrs. Nation was a good, kindly old woman. The very jointkeepers recognize that she is their friend, and she speaks truly when she says that every blow of her hatchet is prompted by love.
ref: 1901, Massachusetts Reformatory, Our Paper: Volume 17, page 237:
text: The injunction method has proved the most successful, action being brought against the jointist and the building he occupies as against a common nuisance. This is tried before the judge, and not a jury. Once made permanent, the injunction is not likely to be violated for fear of contempt. It is weak in that it does not punish the jointist and does not prevent his changing location and starting in business again.
ref: 1901, Charles Moreau Harger, “Kansas's Prohibition Status”, in The Independent, volume 53, page 431:
text: I have avoided jury trials, because, if the jointist is acquitted by a jury, the county must pay the costs. By using the injunction, a vastly different result is obtained. When a jointist can not disprove a charge, the court will fine him. The liquor-men do not fight this kind of case—they go into court and allow the injunction to be made permanent.
ref: 1906, “The Character of the Enemy We Are Fighting”, in Gleanings in Bee Culture: Volume 34, page 1380:
text: It seems that it is very easy for the local officials in your county to arrest a man acting under a commission issued by the special enforcement officer of the state, but the gambler, the bootlegger and the jointist is each permitted to ply his trade, wreck homes, destroy youth, and make a laughing stock of the laws of this state with impunity.

philopena
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Pronunciation: /ˌfɪləˈpiːnə/
Forms: form: philopenas
form: fillipeen
form: philippine
form: philippina
form: philopaene
form: philopoena
Etymology: The origin of philopena is unclear. Despite its appearance, it is not formed from classical roots. The traditional game seems to have originated in Germany, and to have included a formulaic greeting, guten Morgen Vielliebchen (“Good morning, sweetheart”), with Vielliebchen being accepted into French as a proper name, and the game's tag becoming Bonjour Philippine.
A different account suggests that the word began as the French Valentin(e), with the nut exchanged considered as a St. Valentine's Day gift; Valentine became Philipine and was accepted in this form into Mosel Franconian dialects of German (Luxemburger Wörterbuch (1950) I.370, Philippchen). However, the OED disputes this, arguing that Valentine in French may mean “sweetheart”, but does not mean “gift” or “lover's gift”, and wondering in addition what pressure would confuse the familiar French given names Valentin(e) and Philip(e)(pine).
The OED also lists forms in Dutch (filippien), Danish (filippine), and Swedish (filipin) denoting either the game or an almond or nut with a double kernel. These citations date from the mid-nineteenth century to the early twentieth century, and the meaning referring to the game is usually attested to earliest.
Senses: glosses: A game in which a person, on finding a double-kernelled almond or nut, may offer the second kernel to another person and demand a playful forfeit from that person to be paid on their next meeting. The forfeit may simply be to exchange the greeting "Good-day, Philopena" or it may be more elaborate. Philopenas were often played as a form of flirtation.
glosses: The occasion on which a philopena is forfeited; the forfeit paid.
glosses: A nut or almond with a double kernel, as used to set a philopena.
