deepfake
Part of speech: noun
verb
Morphological type: compound
Etymology: Blend of deep learning + fake. Coined in 2017 by Redditor u/deepfakes (account created on September 26, 2017), who had created a technique which could convincingly swap someone's face in a video using deep learning. The r/deepfakes subreddit was created on November 2, 2017. The word was first used as a noun and verb around December 2017.

pos: noun
examples: Did you see that leaked sex tape with the actress? It turned out to be a deepfake, but it looked so realistic!
The thing is that normal people might try to use to harass other people, specially women, but I don't think this technology will be so advanced that you won't be able to recognize it's a fake video, so the majority of people who try to say a deep fake is real will be looked as an idiot, a pervert and probably reported.
These deepfakes went in a completely unexpected direction
I've completed a desktop app /w GUI to create deepfakes. Here is a what it looks like. For anyone unfamiliar with this subreddit, deepfakes are neural network-generated faceswap videos created with a machine learning algorithm designed by /u/deepfakes.
For example, images of the actress Scarlett Johansson have been used to create a number of deepfake pornographic videos, one of which had been viewed over 1.5 million times on a popular SEIM site by the end of 2018 (Harwell, 2018).
By banning deepfakes before the technology becomes widespread, Facebook is trying to calm lawmakers, academics and political campaigns who remain frustrated by how the company handles political posts and videos about politics and politicians.
[…] the tragic shooting in Minnesota has brought that issue to a boil while demonstrating that we don’t need A.I. deepfakes for maximal polarization. It turns out that people with different beliefs staring at the exact same video clips can convince themselves not only that their interpretation of a tragedy is correct but that the rival interpretation is radical, deluded, monstrous.
gloss: To create or turn into a deepfake; to impersonate someone with a deepfake.
pos: verb

Currently, few laws around the world pertain to deepfaked porn.

From now on, this shall be known as the Natick Principle.'”

The end Cretaceous catastrophe that killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago did for these animals too and the oceans were quieter for a while, but within fifteen million years or so the ancestors of dolphins and whales were exploiting the rich seas of the Eocene.

STEVE
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple
Etymology: (2016) Back-formation from Steve (nickname) given to this aurora-like light. Acronym of strong thermal emission velocity enhancement. The nickname "Steve" resulted from a meeting between citizen scientists and researchers from the University of Calgary at a bar, to discuss the purple light. 'Steve' is the namesake of a cartoon character from the 2006 animated film "Over the Hedge", where cartoon animals try to peek over a suburban hedge. The backronym resulted from researchers creating a meaning to the nickname "Steve", keeping the original nickname for the formal name.

Senses:
gloss: An aurora-like light found in southern Canada (consistently lower latitude, unlike the aurora borealis which is generally high latitude), composed of a glowing purple ribbon of light, with green spikes coming off obliquely parallel to each other, moving at about 6.5 km/s East to West. Presumably occurs in the southern hemisphere as well.
pos: noun
tags: uncountable
examples: Researchers first became aware of STEVE after members of a Facebook group called the Alberta Aurora Chasers (which refers to the province in western Canada) began posting photos of unusual purplish-greenish streaks oriented nearly vertically in the sky.
Although STEVE has been documented by amateur night sky watchers for decades, it is an exciting new upper atmospheric phenomenon for the scientific community.
