Word: worky Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From work (noun) + -y (suffix forming adjectives with the sense ‘having the quality of’). Pronunciation: /ˈwɜːki/, /ˈwɜɹki/ 1. Characterized by or pertaining to work. Labels: informal Example: The vvorky-daies are the back-part; / The burden of the vveek lies there, / Making the vvhole to ſtoup and bovv, / Till thy [God's] releaſe appeare. Example: I have had no duties of the worky sort except taking care of my own room, paying some attention to Mother and Ellen when sick and teaching Ellen and Richard two afternoons in the week. 2. Especially of attire: appropriate for work. Labels: informal Example: The problem with the meet-me-at-a-bar date is that I want to look as great as possible, without looking like I've made too much effort. Dresses feel too dressy, skirts too girly, tanks too booby, shirts too worky, and then of course we have the whole shoes issue. Example: The secretary prints out a schedule and gives us our e-mail log-in and password, then says, "Hold on a minute" and comes back with someone who looks like a student, except that her clothes are a little worky. 3. Requiring much work. Labels: informal Example: Richard's Caſtle ſtandeth at the top of a very vvorky hill, vvell vvooded, and at the vveſt end of the Pariſh Church there. Example: Estate planners seldom recommend partial QTIP elections, and most people who create QTIPs, and their executors, don't bother with them. They're just too worky and complicated. 4. Tending to be very serious about work. Labels: informal Example: Angelo has an important deadline, so he is all worky today. Example: […] Jasper is lazy as a dawg, so he wouldn't be much use to you, but Sexton's more worky … he could help you pull your skiff. 5. Showing the effect of much effort and work. Labels: informal, obsolete Example: From England we came by the overland mail, / Waghorny quickly done; / […] / Where the sign of a dragon turns nobody pale; / But simply inspires a thought of pale ale, / With its whisky, frisky, worky, jerky, / Hoppery, poppery, spittery, bittery, / Frolicking frothy fun. Example: More water or meglip must be added as occasion requires [when painting on china]; but too much of the former is apt to produce a very worky appearance, and if too much of the latter is used the color will take a long time to dry.

Example: Yarmouth […] looked rather spongy and soppy, I thought, as I carried my eye over the great dull waste that lay across the river; and I could not help wondering, if the world were really as round as my geography book said, how any part of it came to be so flat. Example: 'Goodness me!' said I to myself, 'whatever will become of sister's white satin shoes, if she has to walk about on soppy grass after such rain as this?' 2. Overly sentimental, maudlin, schmaltzy. Labels: figuratively, informal Example: Listen, those men will only turn soppy and puppy-dog eyed as soon as your turn to leave. Example: "[…] It's unfortunate, if I happen to look like what pleased some soppy old Greek sculptor, but I assure you that if it weren't for my face I'd be a quiet nun in the convent without"—then she broke into a run and her raised voice floated back to him as he followed—"my precious babies, which I must go back and see."

Word: metaphoricity Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Etymology tree English metaphor Proto-Indo-European *-ikos Proto-Italic *-ikos Latin -icuslbor. Old French -iquebor. Middle English -ik English -ic English metaphoric Proto-Indo-European *-teh₂ Proto-Indo-European *-ts Proto-Indo-European *-teh₂ts Latin -itāsder. Old French -itebor. Middle English -ite English -ity English metaphoricity From metaphoric + -ity. 1. The quality of being metaphorical. Labels: uncountable, usually Example: 1999, Preface to Gender Trouble by Judith Butler Just as metaphors lose their metaphoricity as they congeal through time into concepts, so subversive performances always run the risk of becoming deadening cliches through their repetition and, most importantly, through their repetition within commodity culture where subversion carries market value. Example: Programmers create software by developing abstractions to describe the behaviour of their programs. These abstractions begin life as metaphors. The classic theory of abstraction in programming holds that abstraction is a form of “information hiding”. This theory has had noticeable impact on early research in CCS. I argue that the “information hiding” theory is one-sided and ignores the metaphoricity of abstractions. I propose a theory, abstraction as the virtualisation of metaphor, and use this theory to elucidate the “extrafunctional significance” of the Wikilambda code.
