kiss-her-in-the-buttery
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: compound
Etymology: From kiss + her + in + the + buttery (“room for keeping food or beverages, storeroom”), from the way the flower’s petals are said to resemble the faces of two people kissing: see the 1891 and 2010 quotations. Compare other vernacular names for the wild pansy like come-and-cuddle-me, heart’s delight, Jack-jump-up-and-kiss-me, kiss-me-at-the-gate, love-in-idleness, and tickle-my-fancy. (The word buttery is etymologically unrelated to butter, though the latter may have influenced the shift in meaning from “room for keeping alcoholic beverages” to “room for keeping food or beverages”.)
Compound parts: kiss
her
in
the
buttery
Inflected forms:
form: kiss-her-in-the-butteries
pos: noun
tags: plural
Senses:
gloss: Synonym of wild pansy (“Viola tricolor, a European wildflower with medicinal properties, which was formerly believed to ease heartache”)
pos: noun
examples: From its coquettish hanging head and half-hidden face, the Pansy bears a whole catalogue of amatory names: it is Heart's-ease, Love in Idleness, Pink of my John[,] Tittle my Fancy, Jump up and Kiss me, Kiss behind the Garden Gate, Meet-her-in-the-entry-and-kiss-her-in-the-buttery—the longest Plant-name surely in any language.
The pansy that we love so well and for which our English cousins have so many nicknames is, after all, only a violet that has had a chance. Some call it "Heart's-ease," others "Meet-her-in-the-entry," others "Kiss-her-in-the-buttery," and still others "Jump-up-and-kiss-me" and "Tickle-my-fancy."
Love-in-Idleness, Tickle-My-Fancy, / Heartsease, Kiss-Her-in-the-Buttery, / when I hear the pet names of the pansy / I think I may have to go back to being / in love with my mother. She grew them, huge / and furry-faced, maybe she brushed them, / in her sleep, with some holy, baby hairbrush, / the motionless animals she loved.
[I]n English parishes people saw two faces, up to much less intellectual business. They were kissing, the side petals lip to lip within a hood formed by the upper petals. Kiss-and-look-up was the nickname in Somerset, and elsewhere, Kiss-behind-the-garden-gate, Kiss-me-over-the-garden-gate, Kiss-me-quck, Leap-up-and-kiss-me, climaxing in Lincolnshire's upstairs-downstairs version, Meet-her-in-the-entry-kiss-her-in-the-buttery. But the wild pansy was more widely known as heartsease, and perhaps it was used for just that purpose, picked as a posy to claim the kiss it pictured.
'Looks like a common pansy,' I said, studying the fine ink drawing she was just starting to fill in with touches of purple, both subtle and bold. 'Love-in-idleness is the name I prefer, but lady-in-waiting, kiss-her-in-the-buttery, heartsease, if you must. Though there's nothing common about the pansy.' Fanny commanded a room when she talked about her plants.

A fanzone format includes fan access with contributors via Skype, in addition to the usual methods, such as SMS text, email, and Twitter.
On the football (soccer) pitch these include: regular viewing angle; bird's-eye view; goal-to-goal; 'player-cam'; highlights reel; and 'fanzone'.
The fanzone allows users to post content including videos, text, audio files, and photographs to extra Time servers based in London to be shared among other fans of sporting clubs,

It also included attending eight World Cup games, including the Japan–US final, and watching most of the rest in large public fanzones.

examples: There are poetic out-of-offices and humorous (or supposedly humorous) out-of-offices. There are out-of-offices that boast or complain about the person’s likely whereabouts (Bali! Jury duty.).
That doesn’t happen in even the most enlightened workplaces, but nothing makes me feel more patriotic than emailing a French company in summer, getting an out-of-office that sends me to someone else, that person also being en vacances and suggesting a third, whose out-of-office directs me back to the first person.
For many of us, turning on an out-of-office is one of the last things to do before going on holiday. It is typically a concise message outlining that you’re on annual leave and who to contact in your absence. But for some gen Z workers, an OOO is becoming another way to add a bit of pizzazz to work culture; a way to showcase their personality, as well as their approach to the office.

In general, communist understandings of nationhood proved more successful than less statist conceptions, such as ideas based on the Muslim community, the Malay bangsa, or ideas proffered by the millennarian^([sic]) religions such as Cao Dai and Hoa Hao in Vietnam, whose pan-Asianism caused them to side with Japan in the war against French colonial rule.

Then, Welch (1939) went the opposite way, asserting that the original layer, written before the end of the exile showed Deuteronomy’s influence and that more Priestly texts were secondary.
Noth made the necessary objections to that view and demonstrated that these are additions in the Priestly style which presuppose the bringing together of P and the non-Priestly text in Genesis–Numbers and the combination of Genesis–Joshua.
