Word: similect Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Coined by Anna Mauranen in a paper in 2012, from similar + -lect, modelled on dialect, etc. 1. A variety of a language spoken by people who have a different first language, with features transferred from the first language in parallel by individual speakers rather than by a cohesive group.

In short, there is no community of similect speakers.

Word: bah humbug Part of Speech: verb Etymology: From bah (interjection expressing contempt, disgust, or bad temper) + humbug (“balderdash!, nonsense!, rubbish!”). The words were originally spoken by the miser Ebenezer Scrooge in the novella A Christmas Carol (1843) by English author Charles Dickens (1812–1870). Pronunciation: /bɑː ˈhʌmbʌɡ/, /ˌbɑ ˈhʌmˌbʌɡ/ 1.

Example: As Hans lbelings describes in his provocatively titled study Supermodernism, among a small but influential group of contemporary architects what almost amounts to a new form of 'international style' has found renewed validation in the commercial nation of the global brand. 2. Extreme modernism. Labels: uncountable Example: Existing modernism appeared to erode, then, in the face of this supermodernism, and at precisely the moment when art was taken most seriously―or at least, deemed too important to be left to the artist. Example: Characterized by an excess of time, space and ego, all of which supervene on the present study in ways that distinguish its utilization of philosophy of religion from postmodern obsessions with social and literary philosophy, supermodernism can be introduced in the following manner […]
