examples: Like Tommy, Priscilla was an influencer herself, and though her makeup content had only recently started taking off, Priscilla and Tommy had been filming together with Alex at their heels for almost as long as Kiara had been dating Tommy—i.e., since freshman year. Yet, despite their common connection, Priscilla and Kiara themselves had never gotten close. In fact, the only thing Kiara knew about Priscilla was that she was loud, high-strung, and had family money from the continent. Oh, and Priscilla was one aunt removed from African royalty. Kiara knew that, because Priscilla made sure everyone knew that. "Desperate much?" Priscilla said. "None of Tommy's viewers want to date you, Alex." "And none of yours believe the Wakandan accent is real, Princess," Alex answered. "It's realer than your bot subscriber count." "A number that, may I remind you, is still higher than your GPA."
Ryan Coogler said in an interview that Disney executives "freaked out" when they heard Chadwick Boseman use his Wakandan accent even when cameras weren't rolling, on the set of Black Panther. "I was like, 'Don't be freaked out. He's working, man. He don't turn it off till we wrap,' " the director recalled of his own response to the execs.
As African book publishers build a literary ecosystem of their own, they say they're fighting a stubborn perception problem, with too many international publishers treat[ing] the continent's 54 countries as one homogenous entity. "When we listen to audiobooks produced in the West, they have a Wakandan accent," said Eghosa Imasuen, executive director of Narrative Landscape Press in Lagos, Nigeria, referencing the fictional nation from Marvel's Black Panther at a a ^([sic]) workshop on African publishing at the Sharjah Publishers Conference earlier this month. "Nobody talks like that on the continent." The "Wakandan accent" issue goes deeper than narration, Imasuen said, reflecting how African literature gets flattened and homogenized for Western consumption—books curated to match what international readers imagine Africa should be, rather than what it actually is. Many African publishers at Sharjah pushed back against this tendency, emphasizing the unique identities between countries and cultures by catering to local markets rather than Western expectations. "It was once chic to say, 'I don't read Nigerian books,' but now nobody says that anymore," Imasuen said, pointing to a shift in attitude that followed the launch of Cassava Republic Press in 2006. "Now it's chic to read Nigerian books and proclaim, 'I don't read American books.'"

If Burd Ellen had gone “widishins" round the church, she would, I think, have used the best homoeopathic specific against the Elf-King's power; for "to go widishins" was the chief element in elfin practices, and if mortals wished to resist or unspell elf-craft, they, too, had "to go widershins," or they had to repeat the Paternoster backwards, which came to the same thing, or do something else contrariwise.

It was the first step towards concentrating the attention of Europe on the Carolings as inheritors of the imperial idea; for the idea had never died out, though the emperors themselves were gone.
THE FALL OF THE MEROVINGS AND THE RISE OF THE CAROLINGS
The Capetian king had a limited localised power, a power that in due course could become national; and if he looked back, like the Carolings, to the traditions of imperial monarchy and order, he had no temptation to look back, as the Carolings were bound to look back, to the imperial ideas of universal dominion.
His deposition was followed by one year's reign of Robert I. (see Table 1), and then of Raoul, 923-936, a distant connection of the Carolings.
But one reason for the change can be found in the fact that, through the surrender of regalian rights, the Carolings had become a family without land in a society where landed possessions gave power.

“[…] I cannot get in, as the door is barred and bolted, and I am too mild to employ force; but I have taken the liberty to torment her a little with my optical glass, that she may know I am her lord and master in spite of her imaginary princess-ship.”
In the masterless state of her heart, she might have deemed the princess-ship tempting enough to warrant the venture.
A woman may take some comfort in being a princess, because she can set the fashions, and become the mother of kings; but, on the other hand, she can seldom marry her true-love, or have her own way in the training of her children; she can never prefer her friends to honor, or give a hearty snub to her enemies, for fear of losing her popularity. After all, I think, if women had their choice of position in the world before they entered it, the princess-ships would go a-begging.
Nan gets out unassisted, feeling severely that her days of princess-ship are over; and she has redeemed her box, and the train is off again ere any one asks whither she is going.
Héctor Elizondo’s Joe might be the best perk of Mia’s princess-ship: The head of Genovian security never panics; he gut-checks Clarisse when he thinks she’s being too harsh on her granddaughter; and, in a major wingman move, swoops in mid-thunderstorm with a limo to escort a soaked Mia to her inaugural ball.
Remembering her own formative first glimpse of Hepburn, she repositions a starlet now thought of as old-world as instead a proto-feminist, “abdicating her princess-ship” to adventure through Rome on a scooter.

Weezer
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple
Etymology: From the band's name Weezer, ultimately from wheezer. The band's name was taken from member Rivers Cuomo's childhood nickname Weezer, which was given by his father in reference to the Our Gang character Wheezer, played by Bobby Hutchins. His character was given the name reportedly due to Hutchins running around so much on his first day at the film studio that he began wheezing.
Inflected forms:
form: Weezers
pos: noun
tags: plural
Senses:
gloss: A member of the American rock band Weezer.
pos: noun
examples: “As far as I’m concerned, wives come and go, but Weezers are forever. And if Rivers doesn’t realize that, then maybe he just doesn’t understand what being a Weezer is all about.” At press time, an increasingly frustrated Bell had reportedly announced plans to split off from the group and pursue projects as a solo Weezer.
Couldn’t the Weezers have come up with different, less incriminating terminology?
Then, as Weezer took their bows, fans chanted the band’s name and held their hands aloft in the W-for-Weezer symbol until the four Weezers left the stage.

Forget I never can, to my last hour, / Sev’n years ago, when ordered to Vienna, to obtain / Remounts for our brave army, / How, from one Ante-Camera, away / To another I was shov’d; suffer’d to stand / Whole hours under the arch, / As though I came to beg my pension; / At last a Capuchin was sent me, / I thought ’twas for my sins.
‘The orders are that no one enters the ante-camera this morning.’ […] [Giacomo] Antonelli made various difficulties about an audience, so that Rosmini, displeased at the petty pretexts of the Cardinal, said frankly that if he was to be chased out of Gaeta without an audience of the Pope, he should consider it an atrocious injury. This somewhat mollified the Cardinal, who at last said that he would introduce him to an audience. He went to the Pope’s chamber, and was absent a good half hour, Rosmini waiting in the ante-camera.

It does exactly what one of its earliest reviewers promised: its ‘hyper-realistic, surgically accurate’ kill-camera (KillCam) “takes you inside your victim’s body to see precisely how your bullet will end his life’.
Upon being killed in a multiplayer game, the player is treated to a “killcam” replay that shows how the player was killed.
