• yarb commented on the word motuweth frisas

  "Pnin’s birthday … fell on February 3, by the Julian calendar into which he had been born in St. Petersburg in 1898. He never celebrated it nowadays, partly because, after his departure from Russia, it sidled by in a Gregorian disguise (thirteen — no, twelve days late), and partly because during the academic year he existed mainly on a motuweth frisas basis."

  A Nabokovian abbreviation of the days of the week.

• markwitt58 commented on the word reflexative

  Reflexative — adjective: describing thought, judgment, or response shaped by repeated reflection, reinforcement, assumption, or prior interpretation, so that one conclusion begins influencing the next before the underlying matter is freshly examined.

  The term is intended to describe a process that is more than merely reflective or reflexive: the thinking itself becomes recursively formative.
