bluestocking
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple
Etymology: From the 17th century. Originally in reference to blue stockings worn by men as opposed to more expensive white stockings. First associated with the Barebones Parliament in the 17th century, then with a series of literary salons which admitted female intellectuals in the 18th century; in particular the 18th-century Blue Stockings Society led by Elizabeth Montagu on the Parisian model. The term was not originally derogatory. However, none of the ladies wore blue stockings. The first recorded use of the term is in reference to Benjamin Stillingfleet. He was not rich enough to have the proper formal dress, which included black silk stockings and so he attended in everyday blue worsted stockings.

examples: Many of her ladyship’s letters were the most whimsical rhodomontades that ever blue-stocking penned.
But Isabel was no blue-stocking; she was full of vivacity and life, and her conversation was sprightly and agreeable, even when turning upon those serious subjects.
And let none cast in my teeth[…]the remark of Hippolytus in Euripides: “I detest a bluestocking. May there never be a woman in my house who knows more than is fitting for a woman to know.”
“Heavens!” exclaimed Nina, “the blue-stocking and the fogy!—and yours are pale blue, Eileen!—you’re about as self-conscious as Drina—slumping there with your hair tumbling à la Mérode! Oh, it’s very picturesque, of course, but a straight spine and good grooming is better.[…]”
Bragg was a Massachusetts-born bluestocking, a New Woman of the Progressive Era who changed not only the cultural face of Charleston but also the nation's approach to museum education.
The artist who created strong, passionate, brilliant heroines turns out to have disapproved of bluestockings and refused to educate his own intelligent daughters.
But the cultural conflict between these two post-revolutionary styles — between frat guys and feminist bluestockings, Gamergaters and the diversity police, alt-right provocateurs and 'woke' dudebros, the mouthbreathers who poured hate on the all-female 'Ghostbusters' and the tastemakers who pretended it was good — is likely here to stay.

examples: "An' what about your Queenslander?" the Australian asked.
In view of the rapid development of Queensland, our prosperity and our major contribution to the nation and to world trade, I believe it is significant that a Queenslander should be honoured with such a high position in Rotary.
In reality the selectors' decision was between [Rod] Marsh and John Maclean and the Queenslander got the nod.

[A] conveniently located 4-star B&B in a restored traditional Queenslander, offering 6 spacious en suites and 1 luxury suite with spa, pool and off-street parking.
Any house built substantially of wood and lasting more than twenty years is now a "Queenslander" it seems and commands a premium. […] The Queenslander lifestyle is meant to convey a mood of summer indolence, perhaps by the pool but certainly taking in a verandah and an open-plan weekend in which cold drinks and friends replace the claustrophobia and TV of the brick bungalow. […] There is also a pleasing sense of history to the Queenslander: the patina of tradition is added to what is a functionally pleasant building.
I live in a quintessential (Australian) building type myself—a high-set ‘Queenslander’ on Captain [James] Cook’s tropical Cape Tribulation coast—and some of the details I love most about it are its Deco influences—[…]

The record of the third stage in Amos’ illumination is all too scanty. The seeër describes it so bluntly, so baldly, that one cannot help feeling disappointed.
