Senses: examples: text: Sunday Times Managing Editor, Ray Hartley – a former political correspondent – is brutal about the state of political journalism. He questions the lack of analysis and debate about government policy and dismisses a lot of the writing about President [Thabo] Mbeki and the government as 'hagiography'. While the government may have its media imbongis (praise singers), much of the problem lies with inexperienced political reports and poor newsroom leadership.

Etymology: Borrowed from Xhosa iimbongi, from iim- + imbongi.
Senses: examples: text: […] Mbutuma and Manisi are both "traditional" iimbongi, but Manisi's oral poetry is more historical than Mbutuma's – so that the bearer of a tradition is an individual creative artist even though he shares attributes with other participants in the tradition.

To what extent can modern iimbongi be considered traditional?

nightcore
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Etymology: From night + core (“key part of a thing”) via Nightcore, the name of the Norwegian duo that created the genre. They explained their name by saying "we are the core of the night, so you'll dance all night long."
Around 2008, others started making their own songs in the same style and used the term nightcore not to refer music made by the duo, but to the new genre of music as a whole. As this usage spread and knowledge of the original duo faded, the term was reanalyzed as night + -core in the same style as other music genres like metalcore, rapcore, etc.
