I’ve added a new subsection to the words section of the Cuparium. Odd Reference is where I collect certain surveys, lists, glossaries, and other informational miscellany that appeal to me. Such are my time-squandering powers:
- Robots in Film and Television
- Futuristic Computers in Film and Television
- Swearwords of Science Fiction and Fantasy
The first two started as surveys here and in my LiveJournal site. If you wish to comment or suggest additions, the Cuplog versions are here for robots and here for computers; Mr. Cooper’s Journal versions are here for robots and here for computers. Confused? Fear not. All mirrors are hyperlinked to one another.
If you wish to make comments or suggestions for my new dictionary of science fiction and fantasy swearwords, that page did not start as a survey, so please feel free to comment here, or in the swearword announcement at Mr. Cooper’s Journal.
As for this lexicon of speculative foul language, I was prompted partially by an appreciation for any sign of creativity in a form of human expression that has become increasingly barren. To be honest, I enjoy venting my harsher emotions in a manner that surprises, confuses, and yet doesn’t quite descend to a level of crudity that ought to be beneath me. ‘Tis a fine way to promote lexicography, too!
