Word: Barnumize Part of Speech: verb Etymology: From the surname of P. T. Barnum, a 19th century American showman who co-founded the Barnum & Bailey Circus, + -ize. 1. To enliven something, especially a spectacle or attraction. Example: There is nothing unusual at first appearance of this man who Barnumized the Classics and shook them and modern stage production into a new vitality. 2. To dumb down, cheapen, or vulgarize something, especially to create entertainment that appeals to coarse or unsophisticated tastes. Example: Kushner expects his boxers to make nasty remarks, scripted or otherwise, to Barnumize their sport in the manner of Bob Luce's version of wrestling promising gore for the paying fools. 3. To promote with bombast, exaggeration, or outright falsehood; to hype or sensationalize. Example: They went to work deliberately to Barnumize their prospective candidate. No prima donna was ever more thoroughly exploited by her Hebrew impresario. The papers swarmed with anecdotes, incidents, sayings. Nothing was too unimportant, and the new commander-in-chief pulled on his boots by telegram from Maine to California, and picked his teeth by special dispatch from the Associated Press. 4. To obtain money through fraudulent or deceitful means; to swindle or con. Example: Looking in retrospect over his career, old P. T. Barnum was equally frank, but he had a way of making people unaware of the fact that they were being buncoed while the buncoing was going on. And the Barnumizing operation of extracting money from the curious will be more successful today if it is made less palapably^([sic]) painful. 5. To spread inaccurate or false information. Example: The psychiatrists are getting beyond their depth when they begin computing feminine unhappiness. So when we read that some professor finds 98 per cent of us drooping with sorrow, I think we may safely charge him with Barnumizing. 6. To seek or attract attention, especially through ostentation. Example: Mangin turned himself into an eccentric figure, and Barnumized the business of selling pencils. "He attracted attention," says Mr. Dreier, "by driving about the streets in an ornamented carriage drawn by two bay horses. "With the help of a servant he changed his clothes in plain sight, substituting a medieval costume for his business suit. […]
Word: coenobium Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Learned borrowing from Late Latin coenobium (“cloister, convent; monastery”), from Koine Greek κοινόβιον (koinóbion, “life in community; monastery”), the neuter form of κοινόβιος (koinóbios, “communal living”), from Ancient Greek κοινός (koinós, “common, shared”) + βίος (bíos, “life”). Doublet of coenoby. The plural form coenobia is borrowed from Late Latin coenobia. Pronunciation: /siːˈnəʊ.bɪ.əm/, /siˈnoʊ.bi.əm/, /siːˈnəʊ.bɪ.ə/, /siˈnoʊ.bi.ə/ 1. A conventual or monastic community; also, a convent or monastery. Example: [T]his profeſſion of a ſingle life vvas propagated in Egypt by Antony, and in Syria by Hilarion; and ſpred ſo faſt, that ſoon after the time of Julian the Apoſtate a third part of Egyptians vvere got into the deſarts of Egypt. They lived firſt ſingly in cells, then aſſociated into cœnobia or convents; and at length came into tovvns, and filled the Churches vvith Biſhops, Presbyters and Deacons. Example: Some carts are entirely filled with representatives of the Church, but these are jolly, portly fellows, who pay loyally, and hasten to secure the most delicate fare for the table of their different cœnobiums. 2. A fruit of a plant from either of the families Boraginaceae (the borages) or Lamiaceae which has small loculi or compartments, reminiscent of the cells in a convent or monastery. Labels: broadly Example: Comfrey fruit is a coenobium consisting not of two (in carpel number) but four monospermous eremes. Eremes are not opened and seed not released from pericarp falls from the plant. 3. A colony of algae which acts as a single organism; a coenobe. Labels: broadly Example: […] M. [Louis-Félix] Henneguy finds four kinds of these colonies, which he calls cœnobiums: […] At the moment of fecundation the bundles of antherozoids are set at liberty by the dissolution of the antheridia wall; they move quickly through the water, and fix themselves on the female cœnobiums, and then separate to fecundate the oospheres, but the author was not able to observe the exact moment of their penetration. Example: This group includes two genera, Volvox and Eudorina, which resemble Pandorina in many respects, and were formerly included with it in one group. Like Pandorina, these plants are motile, and consist of a number of ciliated cells aggregated into a cœnobium. […] The distinction between these plants and Pandorina is that in them certain cells of the cœnobium develops into antheridia and oogonia. 4. A colony of unicellular organisms (such as protozoa) which acts as a single organism. Labels: broadly Example: The Radiolaria are marine rhizopods, whose unicellular body always consists of two parts,— […] The individuals are usually single: in only a small minority are the unicellular organisms united in colonies or caenobia. Example: eutely Phenomenon exhibited by a few phyla, notably nematodes, where all individuals have the same number of cells (or nuclei in a coenobium).
