  • Not at all obsolete: used by Deleuze to refer to non-realist fictions (and also the condition of postmodernism, as in "My day job is incompossible with my pursuits in Second Life"), such as Borges. I didn't realise that it was so storied until I tripped over this link to the Devil's Dictionary. Long may it not be expunged!

  • Patrick Leigh Fermor writes eloquently about the multiple defenestrations and depontifications (throwing people of bridges) of Prague in Between the Woods and the Water. That book also has more impressive architectural terms than the whole of The Name of the Rose. And I think he learned Magyar for good measure...
