darqueau commented on the word wood-engraver
"The wood-engraver may well feel dismayed to find himself described in the dictionary as 'a maker of woodcuts; a kind of boring insect.' If he wishes to differentiate sharply between himself and the beetle, whose method is presumably far longer-established than his own, he will refuse to bore, and keep his tool resolutely near the surface."

darqueau commented on the word hypnagogic
I insist on the fact that the drawings thus obtained lost more and more, through a series of suggestions and transmutations that offered themselves spontaneously - in the manner of that which passes for hypnagogic visions - the character of the material interrogated (the wood, for example) and took on the aspect of images of an unhoped for precision, probably of a sort which revealed the first cause of the obsession, or produced a simulacrum of that cause.

darqueau commented on the word chalcography
There are three national chalcographies in the world, all of which maintain large stocks of engraved plates from which impressions are printed as ordered by the public. The first was founded by Clement XII in Rome in 1738... The Madrid chalcography followed in 1789, and owns most of Goya's plates. The one in Paris was founded in 1797... The italian and French establishments have habitually identified their productions with blind-stamps.

darqueau commented on the list printmaking-terms
With the woodcut graphic art became mechanically reproducible for the first time...
...During the Middle Ages engraving and etching were added to the woodcut;
at the beginning of the nineteenth century lithography made its appearance.
With lithography the technique of reproduction reached an essentially new stage...lithography enabled graphic art to illustrate everyday life, and it began
to keep pace with printing. But only a few decades after its invention, lithography was surpassed by photography...
...just as lithography virtually implied the illustrated newspaper, so did photography foreshadow the sound film.

darqueau commented on the word flesch-kincaid grade level
In grammer school, I was always one of the smart kids in class. It wasn't long before I started to feel shamed for this. By middle school, i was trying to get bad grades in order to be cool.
I didn't succeed very well... regardless of my poor performance, It was hard for me to get less than a B.
I should never have graduated high school considering my performance. I skipped class regularly, and rarely completed assignments. When I did complete them, however, I always received good marks... and so, somehow, I graduated with a 2.9 GPA.
I grew up in a family of American Illiterates... meaning that they only read the traffic signs and advertisements that are placed in front of them. I was never encouraged to read books.
Americans love mediocrity. From the food they eat, to the words they speak.
I am pleased to have developed a very defined hatred for such...

darqueau commented on the word frot
well, okay. I'm no preacher or zealous adherent of ideologies either.
but... some gay men are sick of being asked if they are a "top" or a "bottom" and have no desire to be either... This concern has lead to the usage of the word frot in the way originally described by the anonymous urban lexicographer...as well as others. Thats all.
Referencing other cultures, and earlier epochs can only go so far. The imagination is more powerful than the memory. We all possess the propensity to develop new terms and languages, & It is preferable to do so in order to avoid stagnation and more importantly, domination. There is no omniscient lexical authority which we must obey. The so-called authority of mirriam-webster is no more valid than that of all the contributors on wikipedia, wiktionary, wordie, or urban dictionary.
interactive sites such as these, in my opinion are even more valid, as they help to eliminate authority and passivity.
"burn all libraries, and allow to remain only that which everyone knows by heart. A beautiful age of legend will then begin!"
June 17, 2008
darqueau commented on the word frot
I can certainly respect the fact that many men sincerely enjoy anal penetration, however, "gay" and "anal" have almost become synonymous. Unfortunately, this notion is quite stereotypical and erroneous. The term frot is important, i feel, because it helps to dispel this myth, and open up the possibility for young gay men (and everyone else) to realize that there are other things that men do in bed together... and "frot" is not meant to simply be just the next best thing to the "real" way to have gay sex... Nonetheless, I'm pleased to see that good old-fashioned Man Lovin' has received such attention on this website!

this definition requires one to use the imagination a bit I guess... maybe it's somewhat esoteric. It made perfect sense to me when I originally read it on the UD website... but without a prior knowledge, I can now see the possible confusion.
To be straightforward (for all the straight folks)- Frot is when two men achieve orgasm by rubbing their cocks together. The second paragraph is trying to explain that some men consciously choose frot as a sexual preference... especially over anal sex.

darqueau commented on the word frot
Used in the gay community as a term for an activity involving sexual gratification by rubbing that occurs between two men who do not wish, usually out of preference, to engage in anal intercourse.
etymology: contraction of 'frottage'
This growing movement of men into frot who disown anal sex is not simply a matter of sexual taste. It goes farther than that, for it's a rejection of the overly and unhealthily feminized self-image of gay men that has dominated our lives for generations (urban dictionary)

“A technique of transient passage through varied ambiances. The dérive entails playful-constructive behavior and awareness of psychogeographical effects; which completely distinguishes it from the classical notions of the journey or the stroll.�? -Guy Debord, Theory of the Dérive.
