Word: window of opportunity Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Popularized by its use by the United States Government in the 1970s in reference to the Cold War (1945–1991). Pronunciation: /ˌwɪndəʊ‿əv ˌɒpəˈtjuːnɪtɪ/, /-ˈt͡ʃuː-/, /ˌwɪndoʊ‿əv ˌɑpɚˈt(j)unəti/, [-ɾi] 1. A (usually limited) period of time in which suitable action can achieve success. Example: U.S. officials also thought a preventive war [against the Soviet Union] would be costly, and U.S. allies would be disapproving. Thus U.S. leaders saw a fading window of opportunity, but the opportunity was not very attractive; it would not be followed by vulnerability; and it probably would not be followed by a war. Example: The EMTs had given Lolly magnesium on the ride in, Dr. Salazar said, and that had put the injury in "slo-mo." And with stroke victims, "time was brain," she said; the quicker there was treatment, the better the odds of avoiding permanent damage. "When she got here, we gave her a clot-buster called tPA. Great drug if the patient gets it in time―acts like Drano on clogged arteries―but the operative word here is if. Time-wise, there's only a small window of opportunity. When the blood supply's cut off, brain cells begin to die. I think you'd better prepare yourself for the fact that your aunt will most likely have an altered life." "Altered how?" "Too soon to tell. We'll know more in the next forty-eight to seventy-two hours."

Word: what you see is what you get Part of Speech: phrase Etymology: Originally a humorous allusion to a catchphrase popularized by the comedian Flip Wilson on American TV in the 1960s. 1. The image corresponds to the reality. Example: What you see is what you get. No one's been disappointed yet. Example: With fresh material, taxonomic conclusions are leavened by recognition that the material examined reflects the site it occupied; a herbarium packet gives one only a small fraction of the data desirable for sound conclusions. Herbarium material does not, indeed, allow one to extrapolate safely: what you see is what you get[…] 2. The screen image resembles the printed output. Labels: idiomatic Example: For:Word, like Wang's editing system, is an early approach to a what-you-see-is-what-you-get word processor.
Word: Anhui Part of Speech: name Etymology: Borrowed from Mandarin 安徽 (Ānhuī). Pronunciation: /ɑːnˈhweɪ/ 1. A province in eastern China. Capital: Hefei. Example: He found nothing but disorder at the Taeping capital, and no troops with which he could venture to assume the offensive against the powerful army, in numbers at all events, that the two Tsengs had drawn round Nanking. In this position his troubles were increased by the suspicion of Tien Wang, who deprived him of all his honours, and banished him to the province of Anhui, adjacent to both Kiangsi and Kiangsu, and joined with him in the same viceroyalty. Example: Some idea of the extent of the calamity, which is due to the excessive rains of the summer, resulting in the complete failure of the crops and the destruction of many homesteads, may be gathered from the fact that the committee with probably make an appeal for at least £250,000. Help will be solicited not only from Shanghai, but from Great Britain, America and the continent of Europe. Even should all the amount asked for be raised, it will only permit of an expenditure equal at most to about sixpence per head of the starving and homeless people. For although the term Kiangpeh is conveniently applied to the distressed district, the famine is felt in large portions of the four provinces of Kiangsu, Anhui, Honan, and Shantung, over a tract estimated at 40,000 square miles in area and in the most thickly populated part of the empire.

An ambigu, in other words, meat, vegetables, dessert, served at once generally in one large dish, made up for scanty fare days before and after. 2. A French card game, somewhat like poker, but of earlier origin and involving different scoring of hands, played with a 40 card deck (four suits of Ace through 10). Labels: uncountable Example: In France during the following century primero became ambigu, and a little later another variation, called brag, sprang up in the west of England, from which poker is more directly descended in its American form. Example: Others include the French games of ambigu, bouillotte, and brelan, the English games of brag and post-and-pair, and the Italian game of primiera.
