The men and boys practiced not only the technique of twirling the bullroarer, but also the mock attack staged upon the person twirling it.
Frazer's ingenious theorizing is plausible as far as it goes, but it does not really explain why the bullroarer must be kept from women, the feature of the bullroarer complex that most troubled Lowie. Women are allowed to hear the sound of the bullroarer—indeed, the bullroarer is often used to warn women to keep away.
Intrinsic to the propulsion of the bullroarer is the string and the hole the string is attached to. The average distance from the base to the center of the hole on the bullroarers under study is 0.9 cm. The placement of the hole is exceedingly important.

An argument can be made that the Marquesan view of certain states as expectable of 'persons' follows from these being equally examples of a common type of process.
And that is the tragedy of the establishment of the diagnosis of PTSD. The presence of troubling war-related memories and associated negative reactions typically has much more to do with what is normal and expectable of almost anyone who has survived war ...
Such issues finally turn on two counts; namely, what is most opposite to the human scene, and what is most properly worth, or—may we say— “expectable” of God.

examples: Rather than simply an extension of Smithian dynamics of market expansion and labor specialization, economic growth in early modern Europe was nurtured by Schumpeterian principles in which it is not perfect markets, but rather imperfect markets, that spur innovation and economic growth.
This paper develops a dynamic Schumpeterian growth model to analyze how extractive institutions in the form of the resource appropriation by a politically dominant elite shape the transition from Malthusian stagnation to sustained long-run economic growth.
The merger’s effect on innovation decomposes into a Schumpeterian effect (larger profit base) and an Arrowian effect (lost rivalry).

Etymology: Clipping of frobnicate, from frobnitz, coined circa 1958 by David R. Sawyer of the MIT Tech Model Railroad Club (TMRC). Year of origin uncertain, and could be 1958–1981: frob is not listed in the TMRC dictionaries of 1959 or 1960, and is first listed in the Jargon File (1981 edition), so it may date from the 1960s or 1970s. Possibly variant of or influenced by frotsus (“a protruding arm or trunnion”), which is listed in TMRC 1959 and 1960.

examples: What constructive mathematicians know is that there are mathematical universes in which sets are like topological spaces and properties are like open sets. In fact, these universes are well-known to classical mathematicians (they are called toposes), but they look at them from “the outside”. When we consider what mathematicians who live in such a universe see, we discover many fascinating kinds of mathematics, which tend to be constructive. The universe of classical mathematics is special because in it all sets are like discrete topological spaces. In fact, one way of understanding LEM is “all spaces/sets are discrete”. Is this really such a smart thing to assume? If for no other reason, LEM should be abandoned because it is quite customary to consider “continuous” and “discrete” domains in applications in computer science and physics. So what gives mathematicians the idea that all domains are discrete?
