examples: And M. [Henri-François-Alphonse] Esquiros, in describing the Dutch generally, speaks of beauties both blondes and brunettes, ‘for black hair is not uncommon in the Netherlands.’ These words seem to imply that black hair does not preponderate; and, if not, there must be a marked difference between the Dutch and the English. Here again is confirmation of the opinion that the modern English are somewhat more dark-haired than the ancient Saxons.
Perhaps people felt by some form of symbolism or imitative magic that if the very first foot over the threshold was that of a dark-haired man, so might that hearth be safe for a whole year from the marauding Northmen. We listened to the chimes of Big Ben on the radio, and then as the last notes of the Old Year died away, Humphrey, who was the darkest-haired man present, ran to the door so as to come in and first foot us.
Maura was sixteen, with the Salter good looks. Darker-haired than her big sister Bridie, but she had the same soft grace.

Base: vaccination

pos: adj

Senses:
gloss: Opposing vaccines and vaccination.
pos: adj
tags: not-comparable
examples: In addition to being anti-biotechnology, there are also many anti-vaccination groups active around the globe. Many of them are playing on society's trend to embrace zero risk on any technology. These groups capitalise on the internet and various rapid communication methods to spread the message in a very subtle and forceful way.
We argued above that provaccination advocates would be more likely to use scientific studies and evidence of VPDs when compared to antivaccination advocates. While we did not assess the types of information sources people use for this issue, those with high levels of belief in vaccinations would at least be more open to the scientific literature on this topic.
This tactic should not be surprising given that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. served as a producer on “Vaxxed II.” A recent study found Kennedy’s anti-vaccination organization, the World Mercury Project, was one of two groups responsible for 54 percent of anti-vaccine advertisements on Facebook.
The study, which mapped the vaccine conversation on Facebook during the 2019 measles outbreak, found that there were nearly three times as many active anti-vaccination communities as pro-vaccination communities. In addition, they found that while pro-vaccine pages tended to have more followers, anti-vaccine pages were faster-growing.

The Psychological Benefits Of 'Kondoing' Your House
'Kondoed fridge before shopping delivery' and 'It seems mundane but I’ve Kondo’d some deodorant that I didn’t like the smell of.'
'How "Kondo-ing" my closet brought joy to my life', 'I Kondo’d my refrigerator last night', 'Dawson’s closet before and after Kondo-ing', and 'The first thing I Kondo’d was my books'
Kondoing requires clothing to be folded in a particular way and certain corners of Pinterest overflow with images of diligently arranged underwear drawers.
Many people have heard of the movement that has folks asking if items in their closets “spark joy” or not. Begun by Marie “KonMari” Kondo, the “Kondoing” method of sparking joy has inspired people to go through their closets and discard or donate those items that don’t spark a sense of joy in their lives.
The spelling has not quite settled down. Because the name ends in a vowel, we see both “Kondo-ing” and “Kondoing,” as well as “Kondo-ed,” “Kondoed” and “Kondo’d.”
