examples: With the kick-off of Skillet's 52-city Awake and Alive tour, it is evident that they won't have difficulty find an American following, as Panheads (a moniker for Skillet fans) across the nation are turning up by the hordes.
This is Skillet doing what Skillet does. If that does it for you, you've probably already got this; if not, it's unlike to win you over to joining the Panheads.
When they talk about crossover bands–those who have strong fan bases in both the secular and Christian worlds–none may be more popular than Skillet and its dedicated "Panheads."

The same interviewing problem is bound to crop up again in the mail, which regularly brings requests for written replies to lengthy questionnaires. And it will certainly surface in April, when I'm scheduled to appear as GoH at the Cinecon in Australia. Far be it for me to complain about the trip; I feel it's my duty to go, if only to heal the breach in international relations caused by Tucker's visit some years ago. But there will be fan interviews and press interviews and -- if Tucker did as much damage as I suspect -- there may even be questions asked in Parliament.
Speaking for myself only, I have never been drawn to a con by the GoH, but I have often been introduced to the work of a writer as a result of their being Honoured by the con committee.

Opposite of natural monsters there are technological monsters such as terminators, cyborgs, and robocops—all of which undermine dichotomies between the artificial and the organic, the prosthetic and the natural.
Robocops, touted by state media as a way of beefing up Shenzhen’s security apparatus, are nowhere to be seen.

The amorphous hacktivist collective known as “Anonymous” decided to make a spectacle of the situation by publishing personally identifiable information on – “doxxing” – Todd’s stalker.
In that frame of mind, the worst thing that can happen will always be online. Being doxxed or ridiculed, for example, outweighs the offline risks of wasted time, poor health, or arrest.
Anonymous said: shit, I hope no one doxxes her. She actually delivered. She seems like a kind girl.
Anonymous replied: dude get a grip she gave her first name, her physician's full name, and even the dormitory area she lives in she wants to be found.
Anonymous replied: She is new. Any girl who uses signs or writes names on her body is clearly new to camwhoring, so they really don't know what they're getting themselves into.
“Evan doxxed everyone in Dramatis Personai. Those guys aren't just 'offline.'” Max said. “They're dead.”
PHYREWALL laughed.
“What's funny about that?” Max asked.
“He couldn't have doxxed everyone,” PHYREWALL said.
“He doxxed you, Nat,' Max said.
The rule: Any Twitter user who publishes the live location or other personal information of someone else — an act known as doxxing — will be taken offline.
In a Twitter Spaces discussion, Mr. Musk defended the decision to block the journalists. “You doxx, you get suspended, end of story,” he said, and then abruptly left the call.
But acting director of ICE, Todd Lyons, has said it's a necessary response to what he describes as efforts to dox and threaten these agents and their families. ICE has said there has been a dramatic increase in the doxing of agents but has not said how many cases there have been or provided any details. The agency has not provided any information to support their assertion of an increase in agent doxxing.
“ICE officers wear a mask because they’ve been doxxed by the thousands,” Tom Homan, Mr. Trump’s border czar, told my colleagues at “The Daily.” “Their families have been doxxed. ICE officers’ pictures show up on trees and telephone poles. Death threats are sky-high.”

normcore
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: derivation
Topics: fashion
lifestyle
Etymology: From norm(al) (“according to norms or rules or to a regular pattern”) + -core (suffix denoting genres of music and subcultures (often specialized and underground)), coined by the cartoonist Ryan Estrada in a guest comic strip for the webcomic Templar, Arizona on 17 September 2008: see the quotation.
It was popularized in a stylized, tongue-in-cheek trend report produced by the collective K-HOLE in 2013.
Base: normal
Affixes: -core
Inflected forms:
Senses:
gloss: A unisex fashion trend characterized by average-looking, unpretentious clothing.
pos: noun
tags: uncountable
examples: That means he's normcore. Dangerously regular. Dresses only in T-shirts an' jeans, uses slang appropriated from other sub cultures, but only 3 years after it's^([sic – meaning its]) first use, an' only after it's been used in a sitcom.
Clémence would say that his style was normcore before normcore became a thing. She had to admit that she still found him attractive.
Normcore is gray sweatpants pretending to be trousers. Normcore is a seen-better-days faun-colored golf knit. Normcore is an unlogo'd sneaker. Normcore is the opposite of wearing a pair of white patent-leather bejeweled Versace assless chaps. Normcore is oblivious to Givenchy shaved-beaver man purses. Normcore knows nothing of fluorescent-studded Louboutin sneakers.
Another part of her gift is that she's damn funny. Even if she'd come from the heart of normcore, her tale would be worth telling and well told. But she was raised in Crazytown, and the more foreign her territory, the more delightful—and somehow more relatable—her tale becomes.
gloss: Any style that is mainstream or unremarkable.

Soon, light from three large fires illuminated the darkness. This was johar: the Rajputs were collectively burning their families rather than have them captured and tortured.
