Word: compossible Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From com- + possible. 1. compatible or consistent with another statement. Labels: rare Example: In other words, the qualitative nature or content of a property determines its logic, which in turn logically determines the properties with which it can be coinstantiated or be compossible. Considered purely logically, the totality of compossibilities of a particular property—the totality of possible coinstantiations with other properties—may be called the logical form of that property. It should also be noted that while the logical form of a property allows for its coinstantiation with a whole host of other properties, it does not allow for coinstantiation with more than one property of a particular type at any one time. Such multiple coinstantiation is excluded as a matter of logic. For instance, and continuing with the preceding example, while the property green may be coinstantiated with the properties soft and hard respectively, it cannot be coinstantiated with each of these at one and the same time because the one logically excludes the other.

Word: roturier Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Borrowed from Middle French roturier. 1. A commoner or plebeian; a person of low rank; especially, in pre-Revolutionary France, a member of the social class comprising all who were not nobles or clergy.

Word: d-pad Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Shortened from directional pad. 1. A plus-shaped directional input pad on a video game controller that allows for eight degrees of movement, now largely superseded by the thumbstick. Example: The strategy that has dominated recently for the last couple of years is to tap the d-pad as fast as humanly possible with one finger, known as hypertapping in the gaming community. In NES Tetris, this skill is crucial, since the speed increases when moving up levels, culminating in level 29, where the pieces usually drop to the bottom of the board in less than ⅓ of a second. However, hypertapping has several limitations. Example: Like the name implies, a hypertapping player simply presses left or right on the NES d-pad their desired number of times.
Word: JRPG Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From J- (“Japanese”) + RPG (“role-playing game”), first attested in a post by the user Isao Takeda on Usenet in 1992 (see quote). 1. Initialism of Japanese role-playing game, a traditional genre of role-playing video game derived from design traditions originating in Japan; generally understood as involving a pre-determined story and player characters, a party of multiple controllable characters, and an emphasis on narrative and storytelling. Labels: Internet, abbreviation, alt-of, initialism Example: Well, I think they are very different. Since they are different, I don't want to compare Japanese RPGs with Western RPGs (I am not sure if they are US made. They may be designed by European programmers.) , or vice versa. It seems that WRPGs tend to be non-linear, complex, and with lots of magical weapons with differnt^([sic]) purposes, while JRPGs tend to be closer to run-through-the-mill type with non-magical weapons. I like the artstyle of JRPGs more than that of WRPGs. JRPGs are like watching movies with great visual and sound effects, and WRPGs is more like writing your own story. I don't think one is better than the other since they are just differnt^([sic]) things. I think they should belong to the different categories.
Word: go to the mattresses Part of Speech: verb Etymology: From Mario Puzo's gangster novel The Godfather (1969).

Labels: idiomatic Example: I want Sollozzo. If not, it's all-out war. We'll go to the mattresses. Example: They will have to go to the mattresses; that is they will have to risk a long ugly strike.

Word: bread and circuses Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Calque of Latin panem et circenses, a reference to Satire 10 of the Roman poet Juvenal’s Satires (early 2nd century C.E.). The relevant passage states: “… nam qui dabat olim imperium, fasces, legiones, omnia, nunc se continet atque duas tantum res anxius optat, panem et circenses” (“[F]or that sovereign people that once gave away military command, consulships, legions, and every thing, now bridles its desires, and limits its anxious longings to two things only,—bread, and the games of the circus!”). Juvenal was commenting that the Roman people no longer cared for political involvement, and were satisfied with cheap food and entertainment provided by politicians. Pronunciation: /ˈbɹɛd ənd ˈsəː.kəs.əz/, /-iz/, /ˈbɹɛd ənd ˈsɚ.kə.səz/, /-kɪ.səz/ 1. Food and entertainment provided by the state, particularly if intended to placate the people. Labels: idiomatic, plural, plural-only Example: The government of William Ewart Gladstone may not supply the people, as the Roman emperors did, with "bread and circuses," but if giving them plenty to talk about can satisfy a nation, we Britishers ought just now to be very happy. A whole week is never permitted to elapse without some piece of political gaucherie being enacted for the public amusement. Example: Take a Mahommedan at his devotions, and he is a model of religious abstraction; [...] but see him in his hours of relaxation, or on the occasion of a public holiday, and he is as garrulous and full of laughter as a big child. Like a child, too, he loves noise and movement for the mere sake of noise and movement, and looks upon swings and fireworks as the height of human felicity. Now swings and fireworks are Arabic for bread and circuses, and our pleb's passion for them is insatiable. 2. Grand spectacles staged or statements made to distract and pacify people. Labels: broadly, plural, plural-only Example: One thing which this study makes evident is that the Welfare State fantasy is usually conjured up by some scheming politician posing as a public benefactor and using "bread and circuses", paid for by the people's own money, to buy the support of the populace. Example: But is populism actually popular? Or is it simply sedative patronisation, bread and circuses devised by a cynical caste of free marketeers who presumptuously underestimate the collective intellect?
