shebang
[[English]]
[Anagrams]
edit
- Ah Bengs, behangs
[Etymology 1]
editUnknown. First seen in 1862 with the meaning “temporary shelter”. The modern sense of “matter of concern” is from 1869; “vehicle” is from 1871–2.[1][2]In the sense of “temporary shelter”, it was perhaps brought by US Civil War Confederate enlistees from Louisiana, from French chabane (“hut, cabin”), a dialectal form of French cabane (“a covered hut, lodge, cabin”) (see cabin, cabana). Alternatively, that sense may be from or have been influenced by shebeen (“cabin where unlicensed liquor is sold and drunk”), attested pre-1800, chiefly in Ireland and Scotland, from Irish síbín (“illicit whiskey”), a diminutive of síob (“a drift”).The vehicle sense is perhaps from the unrelated French char-a-banc (“bus-like wagon with many seats”). The sense of “matter of concern” is potentially from either, or onomatopoeia.(The term was not, as is sometimes claimed, commonly used by prisoners at Andersonville in reference to their shelters. According to the US National Park Service, "While shebang was a term sometimes used to describe prisoner shelters at Andersonville, its usage was probably quite limited. In some 1,200 pages of postwar testimony by prisoners held at Andersonville, the word appears four times, and is virtually absent from most prisoner diaries and contemporary memoirs." The terms burrow, dugout, hut, lean-to, shanty, shelter and tent are far more common.)

2.(intransitive) To withdraw from something one has agreed to do.
She backed out of organizing the fund-raising.
3.1920, Herman Cyril McNeile, chapter 1, in Bulldog Drummond:
The girl threw back her head and laughed merrily. "You poor young man," she cried; "put that way it does sound alarming." Then she grew serious again. "There's plenty of time for you to back out now if you like. Just call the waiter, and ask for my bill. We'll say good-bye, and the incident will finish."

Carlia placed her foot on the pole as if testing it. The other girls protested. She would fall in and drown.

1.of or pertaining to numbers
2.2013 July 9, Kehoe, Joselle DiNunzio, “Cognition, brains and Riemann”, in plus.maths.org[1], retrieved 2013-09-08:
They propose that the brain manages numerical systems with circuitry that is equipped for action related to "more than-less than", "faster-slower", "nearer-farther", "bigger-smaller", computations of "any kind of stuff in the external world". This neural activity allows us to successfully reach, grasp, throw or point. Bueti and Walsh argue further that, "it is on these abilities that discrete numerical abilities hitched an evolutionary ride," given the primitive need to make these kinds of judgments of space and time. Number then, as a measure, is not primary — what comes first is our need to move accurately.
3.(obsolete) The same in number; hence, identically the same; identical.
4.1655, Fuller, Thomas, “Dedication”, in The Church History of Britain, volume 2, London: Thomas Tegg and Son, published 1837, page 3:
But would to God that all my fellow-brethren, which with me bemoan the loss of their books, with me might rejoice for the recovery thereof, though not the same numerical volumes!

lemur
[[English]]
ipa :/ˈliːmə(ɹ)/[Etymology]
editFrom Latin lemurēs pl (“spirits of the dead”). The name was originally given to the slender loris (then Lemur tardigradus) in 1754 by Carl Linnaeus. According to Linnaeus, the name was selected because of the nocturnal activity and slow movements of the slender loris. In 1758, Linnaeus added—among others—the ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) to the genus Lemur. All other species, including the slender loris, were eventually moved to other genera. In time, the word became the colloquial name for all primates endemic to Madagascar.[1]
[Noun]
editlemur (plural lemurs)
1.(colloquial) Any strepsirrhine primate of the infraorder Lemuriformes, superfamily Lemuroidea, native only to Madagascar and some surrounding islands.
2.Any of the genus Lemur, represented by the ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta).
3.Linnaeus, C. (1758) Systema Naturæ[2], volume 1, 10 edition, Stockholm, Sweden: Laurentius Salvius, pages 29–30
4.(obsolete) A loris (Lemur tardigradus, now Loris tardigradus), predating the 10th edition of Systema Naturæ.
5.1754, Linnaeus, C., Museum Adolphi Friderici Regis[3], Stockholm, Sweden: Typographia Regia, page 3–4:
"Lemures dixi hos, quod noctu imprimis obambulant, hominibus quodanmodo similes, & lento passu vagantur."
[I call them lemurs, because they go around mainly by night, in a certain way similar to humans, and roam with a slow pace.]
