cliffhanger
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: compound
Topics: human-sciences

Etymology: From cliff + hanger, evoking the image of someone left hanging from a cliff, thereby having an uncertain fate.
The term "cliffhanger" is considered to have originated with the serialised version of Thomas Hardy's "A Pair of Blue Eyes", published in Tinsley's Magazine in the 1870s, in which the character Henry Knight is left hanging off of a cliff. It was inspired by a real life story from his wife Emma's childhood, when she had to rescue one of her school friends from a similar position.

examples: Actually a thetan is in a very, very small amount of mass. From some experiments conducted about fifteen or twenty years ago – a thetan weighed about 1.5 ounces!
According to Scientology doctrine, each human being is actually a thetan or spirit, an immortal, godlike expression of the life force (theta). […] In his writings, Hubbard traces the existence of this life force back trillions of years. In the beginning theta was separate from the physical universe. Theta had no energy or mass, time or location; it was simply energy. Thetans therefore existed before and are the original source of the material universe.
One of the things Hubbard claimed he had "discovered" was that the essence of the human being was a spiritual being. This spiritual being, which is in itself good and fully conscious, Hubbard called a "thetan." From this deeper understanding of the human essence, where he saw survival as the fundamental urge for all thetans, he also discovered that the four dynamics of Dianetics had to be expanded to eight: […]

examples: From the image of a wily digger playing two-up, to a prime minister at the track or the tables, the construction of gambling is as an activity quintessentially Australian.
The origins of two-up remain obscure. It probably derived from ‘pitch and toss’, a game British youths had played since the late eighteenth century. In Australia pitch and toss was first recorded in the 1850s on the Victorian goldfields, and in New Zealand as a street game on the West Coast in the early 1870s. Two-up evolved as a variant, becoming popular in Australia in the early 1890s, and in New Zealand a year or two later, as labouring men from both countries traversed the Tasman Sea in search of work.
Perversely, Scorps chooses not to punt on Anzac Day and won′t go near two-up, probably because his losses will be too public.
