Senses:
gloss: A female entrepreneur who succeeds in the male-dominated business world.
pos: noun
tags: neologism
examples: The book also includes sidebars featuring guest “girlbosses” (bloggers, Internet entrepreneurs) who share equally clichéd suggestions for business success.
The girlboss didn't change the system; she thrived within it. Now that system is cracking, and so is this icon of millennial hustle.
Indeed, this series is supposedly set in the present day, but these girlbosses speak as if the year is still 2014, and they are corporate robots pre-programmed to name-drop luxury brands in each sentence (“Let’s get those Goyard travel cases and start stuffing!”). […] Born in the mid-2010s, the concept of the girlboss promised a utopia where women could bulldoze into workplaces, pull up a seat at male-dominated tables and become a celebrated CEO on the Forbes 30 Under 30 List by the ripe age of 23 (and do it all, of course, wearing a fuchsia blazer and a balayage hairdo).
gloss: Any strong-willed, independent, enterprising woman.
pos: noun
tags: broadly
neologism
examples: But viewers stanned girlbosses in every genre, from Parks and Recreation's idealistic bureaucrat Leslie Knope to Game of Thrones' colonizer Khaleesi, Daenerys Targaryen.
gloss: To behave or act as a girlboss.
pos: verb
tags: intransitive
examples: The reality of girlbossing, however, was always a little bit messier. […] Girlbossing provided a tenuous bridge in the mid-2010s: on one end, the reality of social upheaval and stagnant wage growth that met young people in the job market after the Great Recession; on the other, the long-gone world of predictable corporate success that these women had been promised by the professional progress of their mothers.
Did Taylor Swift "girl boss" too close to the sun? Some fans are now debating the ethics of making and having that much money.
Did you girlboss too close to the sun? / Did they catch you having far too much fun?

examples: Immediate decision-making, twitch reactions, tight timings, microtemporal awareness and frame-perfect [4] performance characterize competitive play behaviors in fighting games, first-person shooters, MOBAs and real time strategy games.
It also requires frame-perfect precision in execution, with particular inputs having to coincide with in-game timers and triggers.
Moment #37 is famous in Street Fighter 2, for instance, because its execution required virtually frame-perfect inputs, which very few players had the dexterity to perform. Another norm is that the sport be regimented and codified.

Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: compound
Etymology: From sky + crane.
Compound parts: sky

Inflected forms:
form: skycranes
pos: noun
tags: plural
Senses:
gloss: A helicopter that is used for hauling large loads.
pos: noun
examples: The SHEDS exercise, conducted by American Export Isbrandtsen and Sikorsky in 1967, demonstrated that skycranes can unload containers, within the load limits of the helicopters, from a ship’s deck in weather which makes surface operations impossible.
Bad weather, damaged multileg slings, and limited weekend availability for National Guard skycranes caused planning problems.
For the cost of those exploits, Bass could easily rent a couple of skycranes and airlift Hueco Tank’s famous Mushroom Boulder to Louisiana.
Helicopter skycranes offer several advantages over conventional cranes.[…]Large skycranes are often used in the lumber business to lift large trees out of terrain that is too rugged for a ground-based vehicle.
Perhaps a more important question is whether the large amount of money associated with establishing and then continuing to maintain firebreaks might have been better spent on other options for fighting fires such as more skycranes, rapid response units or other kinds of equipment.
Only two skycranes came in hauling tractors and we aren’t allowed to get rides on them.
As the [Perseverance Rover] descent stage levels out and slows to its final descent speed of about 1.7 miles per hour (2.7 kilometers per hour), it initiates the “skycrane” maneuver.

English Wojak
From the Internet meme Wojak, a cartoon drawing of a bald man with a wistful or melancholic expression. The original image was posted on vichan, a Polish imageboard, in 2009, and was later reposted to the German imageboard krautchan in 2010 by a Polish user called "wojak"; the username is from Polish wojak (“soldier; fighter”).

Senses:
gloss: A melancholic character representing the powerless everyday man; or, any derived art or character in the crude line-art Wojak style.
pos: noun
tags: Internet
examples: From the original manifestation of a wistful look to the meme of two Wojaks hugging with the tag “I know that feel bro,” he has taken on contexts in male-dominated internet spaces that signify a brotherhood of sorts.
Owing to their coarsely drawn, unyielding masculine outlines, Wojaks are especially compatible with efforts to channel aggression.
These figures, which regularly appear as characters in other meme formats, make variants of Doomer (male, female, boy, etc.) one of the most prevalent meme tropes of the early 2020s, with both a vertical reach (as straight copies of the original Doomer format) and a horizontal one (as variants in form, gender, and age, and, since late 2020, race – with Black Wojaks going viral).

examples: Molly’s Muffinery serves ‘duffins’ — a cross between jelly doughnuts and muffins.
Take a little time and enjoy deciding between single-serve yogurt cakes (cherries and peaches are mixed in the dough), scones, turnovers, muffins, and duffins, a specialty of the house that crosses muffins and cake doughnuts.
The subs spent a pedantic hour arguing over whether a doughnut is a cake, a pastry or a dessert. I say let them eat cake / pastry / dessert, our readers know what a flipping doughnut is! Though nowadays with your cronuts and your duffins, all the rules have changed.
But it wasn’t until he invented the cronut — a croissant/doughnut hybrid — after striking out on his own, that he ascended to star status. Time magazine called it one of the best inventions of 2013, and it birthed several other hybrid pastries including the bruffin (brioche/muffin), the duffin (doughnut/muffin) and the scuffin (scone/muffin).
We now have crookies, brookies, duffins, and cruffins, all mash-ups of familiar treats (cookies, tarts, brownies, doughnuts, croissants and muffins respectively).

"The jetski slewed around and hit the buoy beam-on. A bystander on the dock hastily threw a lifeline, which flew over the swimming jetskier's head and hit our boat beam-on, tangling itself in the shrouds."

These riyasats were preyed on by dacoits (armed robbers) and were also a refuge for absconding krantikaris (revolutionaries) active in the region.
