horcrux
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple
Etymology: Coined by author J. K. Rowling apparently at random; "invent[ed] […] after much transposition of syllables". Fans have pointed to the possible influence of Middle English hore (“iniquity, evil, sin”) and English crux (“the central or essential part”), among other theories. The term first appears in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2005).
Inflected forms:
form: horcruxes
pos: noun

pos: noun

Senses:
gloss: In Harry Potter, an object in which a wizard has concealed a part of their soul through magic, rendering them immortal until the object is irreparably damaged or destroyed.
pos: noun
examples: They stared at it as if it was the one ring or the holy grail or a horcrux, or perhaps all of them rolled into one. An empty, plastic cat food bowl.
They were standard fit, vintage wash, pretty expensive, and I showed them to him and I said, “These are yours if you want them.” And do you know what he did? He actually flinched. Like these were haunted pants or something. Like these were Horcrux jeans with a piece of Lord Voldemort’s soul in them.
Again, he didn’t say anything and she asked him about the arrowhead—was it his Horcrux or something? was there a piece of his soul trapped inside it?—and he shrugged it off.
gloss: Something in which one has invested a part of one's self; an object which allows for the preservation of memory, culture, etc.
pos: noun
tags: broadly
examples: When I read manuscripts, I feel very aware that some part of the writer's soul lives in the pages—like a good Horcrux, say—and if I’m turning one down, I need to do so with thoughtfulness and respect.
And I loved the way they looked, all those journals lined up on a single bookshelf in my room, carving a path through time that you could follow, like a trail of bread crumbs, from that first day in Dr. Milton’s office right up to the present. It was as if I’d archived myself inside them—my own private horcruxes.
Via nostalgia and sentimentality, objects act for humans as unwitting mnemonic horcruxes (my analogy, not Schwenger’s), storing parts of our memories inside themselves for our later involuntary retrieval.

gloss: To mislead with a garden path sentence.
pos: verb
examples: Therefore, a sentence with an initial gap, such as Who asked Meg to persuade Jill to inform Ted that Bob had spoken to Tom?, would garden path an active parser just as often as (17) would, and both sentences would be considerably more troublesome to an active parser than to a passive one.
We anticipated that the reader would be garden-pathed immediately on encountering the disambiguating verb of a sentence like (3).
Specifically, if the parsing model incorporates a property that permits delay, why doesn't this property insure that the parser will never be garden-pathed?
‘Mitty’ owes much of its interest to violating this rule in its opening pages, deliberately ‘garden-pathing’ the reader into mistaking Mitty’s fantasy world for his actual world (as, apparently, Mitty himself is inclined to do).
Additionally, the GP sentences were read significantly more slowly than correspondingly NGP controls, as showed in Fig. 2, below, since these BP complex structures are parsed by following Late Closure and thus garden pathed the subjects (see Ribeiro, 2005).
The participants were more easily garden pathed to the interpretation of The teachers as the doer (or agent) of “taught,” which led them to make the judgment that the sentence beginning with The teachers did not make sense.

Thorne and the other radical pro-shipper men, it is believed, however, might oppose the proposition on the theory that the Federal Commission, as now constituted, has too tender a regard for the railroads.
In fact, the decisions of the Commission during this period were so notoriously pro-shipper that railroad owners were very much concerned, —it looked like confiscation.
Therefore, one could reasonably conclude that the policy development which transpired from the 1983 CTC preliminary report to the 1984 CTC Final Report, and then to the draft legislation, followed the increasingly pro-shipper tendency.

Things, let’s say, escalated very quickly, with pro-shippers and anti-shippers going at each other over all sorts of nonsense that was obviously a bit hard to follow.
Pro-shippers argued back that depiction was not endorsement, especially if creators tagged their works with the applicable warnings, such as “abuse” or “emotional blackmail”.
What is seen by pro-shippers as simply the desire for everyone to be able to write, draw, and publish what they want, even if it offends or “squicks,” is viewed by anti-shippers as unforgivably harmful.
