Topsy
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple
Etymology: After a character in Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852), who, asked about God, says "I s'pect I growed. Don't think nobody never made me." The sense of excessive out-of-control growth is a misunderstanding.
Inflected forms:
Senses:
gloss: Something or someone who figuratively grows without control or intention.
pos: noun
examples: They employ a symbolism which grew like Topsy and has little consistency […]
Are you implying that it just grew—a Topsy?
The town grows like Topsy after the railway age begins. The fortifications are now quite useless since the city has outgrown them.
Topsy-like, the Encyclopédie just grew and grew.
The paper grew like Topsy. Within two years, we rented the place next door, knocked a door through the brick wall, redid the front to look like a real newspaper office instead of a bunch of fly-by-nighters […]
Why has National Strategies been allowed to grow like Topsy in some respects, and at the same time become even more complex, making it difficult for teachers to take in the amount of guidance that they receive?

examples: Although data on state farms in recent years are sketchy, their general situation and problems appear to be essentially the same as they were in the 1950s and the 1960s. At a provincewide symposium of state-owned agricultural and animal husbandry enterprises, convened in Chouchih, Shensi Province, in May 1975, the participants were told that although the proportion of the enterprises in the entire rural economy was "still not great," they occupied an important position in China's socialist agriculture.
One mocks Quebec stereotypes from a peculiar provincial law that sets June 30 as the expiration date for most residential leases (and thus transforms July 1 into a chaotic, provincewide moving day) to a Quebec City so cold that an actor must consume a bottle of Pepsi as if it were a Popsicle.
