From Latin Mancunium (appearing in a 4th-century manuscript of the Antonine Itinerary), an alternative name for or corruption of Mamucium (“name of the Roman fort at what is now Manchester”) + -an, probably modelled after Late Latin mancuniēnsis (“related or pertaining to Mancunium”).

crunk
Part of speech: adj
noun
Morphological type: compound
Etymology: Attested in the Southern US since the late 1980s, originally in the sense of “rowdy, high energy out-of-control behavior by a crowd at Southern night clubs”. Popularized by its use in the fusion genre of crunk music in the 1990s and especially early 2000s. In this context, first used in music lyrics and notably popularized by Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz, on their 1997 debut album Get Crunk, Who U Wit: Da Album. Various possible origins have been proposed:
* Blend of crazy + drunk “crazy drunk”.
* Blend of chronic (“marijuana”) + drunk “high on marijuana and drunk (on alcohol) at the same time”.
* From a dialectal past tense of crank.
See Crunk: etymology at Wikipedia for further information.
There is no evidence of any connection with Yiddish or German krank (“sick, ill”), nor that it entered the Southern Black vernacular through the presence of European Jewish immigrant shopkeepers in black neighborhoods in cities such as Atlanta. The phonetic similarity of the words is considered a coincidence.

As Houston rap became a national sensation, spinning off into the “crunk” scene, it was hard to believe that just ten years earlier, the only Texas rap acts of any note were Donald “The D.O.C.” Curry, the Dallasite who hooked up with Dr. Dre and the N.W.A. crew, and the Geto Boys, who set out to make West Coast gangstas come off like Young MC.
On Slanguistics, a special on the MTV2 cable network, Andre 3000 offered a succinct analogy for crunk. “What punk was to rock,” he explains, “crunk is to rap.”

macabre
Part of speech: adj
Morphological type: simple
Etymology: Borrowed from French macabre, whose etymology is uncertain. Possibly from the term danse macabre, most commonly believed to be from corruption of the biblical name Maccabees; compare Latin Chorea Machabaeorum.
Another theory derives the French term (through Spanish macabro) from Arabic مَقَابِر (maqābir, “cemeteries”), plural of مَقْبَرَة (maqbara) or مَقْبُرَة (maqbura).

This symbolizes man serving mankind. The third figure is the scientist, the man who makes use of the information gathered in the first two fields of mensurable science.
gloss: Obsessed with death or the gruesome.
pos: adj
examples: Indeed, in the 1854 draft of Tristan he planned to have Parzival visit the dying knight, and both operas display the same macabre obsession with bloody gore and festering wounds.
gloss: Ghastly, shocking, terrifying.

Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple
Etymology: Brand name of unknown origin, trademarked by National Biscuit Company on 14 March 1912. See the Etymology section of Wikipedia's Oreo article for various theories. In reference to well-assimilated black people, derived from the slur that they are "black on the outside, white on the inside".
Inflected forms:

pos: noun
tags: plural
Senses:
gloss: A cookie made of two wafers joined with a sugary filling, particularly a Nabisco cookie with two alkalized cocoa-powder wafers around a white creme filling.
pos: noun
examples: The Oreo is really an antidepressant drug disguised as a cookie. You lost your job? Eat a bag of Oreos[…] There are two ways to eat Oreos. Kids like to pull the chocolate wafers apart and eat the sweat, creamy middle first. Adults dunk them in milk.
While Oreo cream may not appear to possess fluid-like properties, it is considered a "yield stress fluid""—a soft solid when unperturbed that can start to flow under enough stress[…] Curious as to whether other had explored the connection between Oreos and rheology, Owens found mention of a 2016 Princeton University study in which physicists first reported that indeed, when twisting Oreos by hand, the cream almost always came off on one wafer.
