goth

jerbear
A portmanteau of “goals” and “moth”

It's a seldom known fact that moths, perceiving the glare of light to have darkness behind it, will continually fly towards light sources, paradoxically looking for a place of darkness to rest. Additionally, gothic people, known for their characteristic appreciation of things that are both literally and metaphorically dark, such as death, the color black, etc, have similarly dark goals.

Such was the etymological birth of the word “goth.”

leonine

the devils dictionary
adj. Unlike a menagerie lion. Leonine verses are those in which a word in the middle of a line rhymes with a word at the end, as in this famous passage from Bella Peeler Silcox:

The electric light invades the dunnest deep of Hades.
Cries Pluto, 'twixt his snores: "O tempora! O mores!"

It should be explained that Mrs. Silcox does not undertake to teach pronunciation of the Greek and Latin tongues. Leonine verses are so called in honor of a poet named Leo, whom prosodists appear to find a pleasure in believing to have been the first to discover that a rhyming couplet could be run into a single line.

(noun phrase) A whirlwind of nerves, anticipation, and boundless enthusiasm as a teacher steps into the classroom for the very first time.

Excitement mingles with jitters as the teacher navigates a delicate balance of creating a welcoming environment, building connections with students, and conveying a passion for learning. It's a pivotal moment, a blank canvas waiting to be filled with knowledge, inspiration, and the joy of discovery.
