Flappers (W3)
(E?)(L?) http://www.bartleby.com/59/12/flappers.html
(E?)(L?) http://history1900s.about.com/library/weekly/aa022201a.htm
A nickname given to young women in the 1920s who defied convention by refusing to use corsets, cutting their hair short, and wearing short skirts, as well as by behavior such as drinking and smoking in public.
...
The term "flapper" first appeared in Great Britain after World War I. It was there used to describe young girls, still somewhat awkward in movement who had not yet entered womanhood. In the June 1922 edition of the Atlantic Monthly, G. Stanley Hall described looking in a dictionary to discover what the evasive term "flapper" meant:
[T]he dictionary set me right by defining the word as a fledgling, yet in the nest, and vainly attempting to fly while its wings have only pinfeathers; and I recognized that the genius of 'slanguage' had made the squab the symbol of budding girlhood.

Neologism, What is a neologism? (W3)
A "neologism" (griech. "neos" = "new", "logos" = "Word") is a new word that comes into use. Technology is an area particularly rich in them; "CD", "Internet", "information superhighway", etc.
(E?)(L?) http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/0,,sid9_gci212629,00.html
What is a neologism?
A "neologism" is a newly invented word or term. "Neologisms" would seem to occur at a greater rate in cultures with rapidly changing technologies and with greater means for information dispersal.
A "neology" is, according to our Webster's, the use of a new word or the use of an existing word but given a new meaning. A second meaning given by Webster's for "neologism" is that of "a meaningless word coined by a psychotic."

Science Fiction (W3)
(E?)(L?) http://www.epilog.de/Lexikon/S/Science_Fiction.htm
(E?)(L?) http://www.jessesword.com/SF/sf_citations.shtml
(E?)(L?) http://www.jessesword.com/SF/sf_fan.shtml
Der Begriff »Science Fiction« ist seit den 30er Jahren in allgemeinerem Gebrauch; ein frühe Nennung findet sich in Hugo Gernsbacks Leitartikel zur 1. Ausgabe von Science Wonder Stories (Juni 1929). Einige Autoren (Edgar Fawcett; Edgar Allan Poe; William Wilson) haben jedoch schon früher versucht, mit der SF vergleichbare Arten literarischer Produktion zu definieren, und andere frühe spekulative Autoren haben ihre eigenen Manifeste verfaßt. Erst seit der Gründung der spezialisierten SF-Pulp-Magazine in den USA läßt sich ein gewisses Maß an Übereinstimmung feststellen.
Die Kategorie, auf die sich Gernsback mit Scientifiction bezieht, wird von ihm im Leitartikel zur 1. Ausgabe von Amazing Stories (April 1926) folgendermaßen beschrieben: »Mit 'scientifiction' meine ich Erzählungen im Stil von Jules Verne, H. G. Wells und Edgar Allan Poe - eine reizvolle Phantasieerzählung mit wissenschaftlichen Tatsachen und prophetischem Weitblick vermischt ... Diese erstaunlichen Geschichten lesen sich nicht nur ungeheuer interessant, sie sind auch stets aufschlußreich. Sie vermitteln Wissen ... in einer sehr ansprechenden Form ... Neue Abenteuer, die uns die heutige Scientifiction schildert, werden morgen schon nicht mehr unmöglich sein ... Viele großartige wissenschaftliche Erzählungen, die einmal von historischem Interesse sein werden, müssen erst noch geschrieben werden ... Die Nachwelt wird auf sie verweisen, denn sie haben einen neuen Weg markiert, nicht nur für die Literatur, sondern auch für den Fortschritt.«
...
Das OED (Oxford English Dictionary) hat sich ebenfalls des Themas angenommen und sammelt entsprechende Ausdrücke.
slavant (W3)
Der engl. "slavant" ist eine Neubildung aus "slave" = "Sklave" und "servant" = "Diener" und bezeichnet jemanden der "spouse who does all and receives little in return".
