examples: For eons, the debris has contained the same things — flecks from plant and animal carcasses, feces, mucus, dust, microbes, viruses — and transported the ocean’s carbon to be stored on the seafloor. Increasingly, however, marine snowfall is being infiltrated by microplastics: fibers and fragments of polyamide, polyethylene and polyethylene terephthalate. And this fauxfall appears to be altering our planet’s ancient cooling process.
The most abundant chemical in the plastics is polyethylene, which is used for single-use packaging, plastic bags and containers such as bottles.

Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple

Etymology: Compound of peace + maker.
First attested in the Tyndale Bible from 1526, as a translation of Koine Greek εἰρηνοποιοί (eirēnopoioí, “peacemaker”), a hapax legomenon found in the New Testament. (The Wycliffe Bible from 1395 instead uses "pesible men", to translate Latin pacifici from the Vulgate)

Loke therfore, O mercifull God, not vpon the sinnes which we continually commit: but vpon our mediatour & peacemaker Jesus Christ; that by his intercession thy wrath may be pacified, and we againe by thy fatherly countenance relieved and comforted.
These two things premis’d, I come now to draw the character of the persons here stiled peacemakers. It is observed, and very justly, by more Commentators than one, that peacemakers are the same, as men of a peaceable mind and disposition; for as he that is inclined to lying, is said to make a lie because he delights in making it; and he that is habitually inclin’d to sin, ποιειν αμαρτιαν, to do sin or make it (for the original word is the same) because he delights in the practice of wickedness; in like manner, he that is prevailingly disposed to follow peace, may be stiled a peacemaker; the word denotes the habit of the mind, which is the same, equally amiable in its self, and in the sight of God, whether the peaceable man has an opportunity to make peace among others or no.
Many times, in reflecting upon the subject, my feelings were to go and see the Indians personally. Although they were at war, and had been for some six or eight years and killed numbers of our people, breaking up whole districts, still I felt as though I would rather approach them as a peacemaker than as a fighter.
Mr. Carter has celebrated experience as a peacemaker: he mediated the 1978 peace talks between Israel and Egypt at Camp David.
“That’s what I want to be: a peacemaker and a unifier,” he said. His time in office so far has not, at least not yet, been the era of peace.

The Spunion: This is the broken wookie. Like Keller said, “there’s a tweaker by the speaker.” It’s not entirely his fault. He just tried to reach for the stars…too much, too soon. And he probably didn’t have a capable doctor to help him augment his prescription. It might just be time for a Jedi mind flip. One certainly doesn’t have to be a wook to be a tweaker. Even the guy who owns his own pressure washing company can eat too many mushrooms and end up in his tent like a little lost kitten. It’s some weird business to get so spun that you get lost in your own forest, but strange things do happen to good people. If it’s your first time at a location and you’re planning on rolling the dice, you can expect to wander around some place like Infinity Downs at five in the morning looking for high field camping.

Inside the wall they found "a small cannon aimed at the entrance of the gate, and all along the street soldiers were stationed and a few on horseback were riding up and down. One of these had his carbine strapped on his back, and swung under his arm was a three-foot beheading sword wrapped in red cloth. That section had been terrorized by robbers, and they were prepared."
The man who fired the carbine, who fired the gun with the scope, who brought the lead horse down, was discovered sitting cross-legged in a cargo van.
