Why is Scrapie called such?
Scrapie
The name scrapie is derived from one of the clinical signs of the condition, wherein affected animals will compulsively scrape off their fleeces against rocks, trees, or fences. The disease apparently causes an itching sensation in the animals. Other clinical signs include excessive lip smacking, altered gaits, and convulsive collapse.
Sparky
Sparky is a common nickname for people and animals. In the British Commonwealth, it can also be used to refer to an electrician.
Krake ZK 14
Luserke renamed the ship "Krake" (= octopus), inspired by many stone jars (in old German language called "Kruke") he found aboard. Similarly, the ship's pet parakeet's name was named "Kraki", which is a diminutive of "Krake", later modified to "Karaki".
Scrapy
Scrapy ( ) is a free and open-source web-crawling framework written in Python. Originally designed for web scraping, it can also be used to extract data using APIs or as a general-purpose web crawler. It is currently maintained by Scrapinghub Ltd., a web-scraping development and services company.
List of Scooby-Doo characters
In the first live-action "Scooby-Doo" theatrical film — where Scrappy played a decidedly negative role, wanting revenge on Mystery Inc., for abandoning him years ago (he was kicked out for continuously urinating on Daphne, being obnoxious, and the final straw was when he tried to vote himself as the leader of Mystery Inc.). When Velma is talking to a guy at the bar who likes her, she tells him that Scrappy was not a puppy, but had a glandular disorder. Although he nearly succeeds in performing the 'Darkopolypse Ritual', which would give a group of demons the power to rule Earth for the next ten thousand years, his plan is foiled and he and his minions are arrested because he underestimated the Mystery Inc. team, inviting them all to the theme park where he was conducting the ritual after they broke up years before simply to make them witness his triumph when he only needed Scooby present, intending to use Scooby's 'pure' soul to complete his ritual. At the conclusion of the film, Velma says that Scrappy's full name is Scrappy Cornelius Doo.
The Shags (Connecticut band)
Goldman insisted that they switch to a shorter name, which would be easier to fit onto a record label. Goldman suggested the name "the Creeps," but Augusto and Violante objected, so, at the suggestion of Deltons' organ player Andy Smith, they eventually settled on the name, the Shags. The name was based on the longer "shaggy" hairstyles that the Beatles had popularized, which many American groups such as the Shags were attempting to adopt. Such longer hairstyles styles were controversial and could put one wearing one in danger. According to Augusto, "Sometimes you really had to watch it...More than once I had to run like mad from guys that wanted, literally, to knock my head off because of the hair on top of it." Though there were a handful of other bands of the mid-1960s to use the moniker, "the Shags" or something similar, they were the best known of the groups using the name and would later, upon their reunion in 1995, acquire a registered trademark ensuring exclusive use of the name.
Scraper (archaeology)
Scrapers are typically formed by chipping the end of a flake of stone in order to create one sharp side and to keep the rest of the sides dull to facilitate grasping it. Most scrapers are either circle or blade-like in shape. The working edges of scrapers tend to be convex, and many have trimmed and dulled lateral edges to facilitate hafting. One important variety of scraper is the thumbnail scraper, a scraper shaped much like its namesake. This scraper type is common at Paleo-Indian sites in North America. Scrapers are one of the most varied lithic tools found at archaeological sites. Due to the vast array of scrapers there are many typologies that scrapers can fall under, including tool size, tool shape, tool base, the number of working edges, edge angle, edge shape, and many more.
Crab (scratch)
While the name "crab" seems self-explanatory since it makes your hand look like a crab when you curl all of your fingers to perform it, according to Qbert the name originated elsewhere. Apparently, he and Mixmaster Mike had just returned from Beirut, Lebanon around the same time that he invented it where they were served crepes one night after a show. He said that when the people over there pronounced crepes, it sounded more like "cccccreb" and since he thought it was funny, he used it to name the "cccccreb" scratch which everyone now pronounces as the crab.
Sludge (Transformers)
He is sometimes known as Slog.
Scrappy Carroll
John E. Carroll was born in Buffalo, New York, in 1860. He was nicknamed "Scrappy", likely due to him having a "pugnacious disposition", and he may have been the first player to have had that nickname.
Spore Creatures
The game begins as a new species of creatures, the Oogies, are born on the planet Tapti. Two members of this species of particular importance are the protagonist, simply known as 'Oogie', and Little Oogie, a small and primitive creature. A mysterious spaceship is flying around the planet, abducting various creatures; it captures Little Oogie and flies away. Oogie pursues the ship all over Tapti, and when it begins to fall apart after bashing into a number of objects, Oogie collects its pieces. Oogie eventually catches up with the ship as it finally crashes, and its pilot, an alien called Gar'skuther, clambers out. Gar'skuther simply summons a new ship and flies away, still in possession of Little Oogie, who has now grown a strange tentacle from his back. Oogie uses the parts he has collected to rebuild the first ship and pursue Gar'skuther through the galaxy.
Scrappy Blumer
Blumer learned to fly whilst in Washington, and on March 23, 1942, enlisted in the Army Air Corps. After basic training, he was sent to the flight school at Luke Field, Arizona. Blumer received his wings on March 10, 1943, and was then posted to Marysville Cantonment, California, to join the 367th Fighter Group. It was at Marysville that Blumer earned the nickname "Scrappy", after holding his own against two Marines in a drunken brawl.
Scree Gap
Scree Gap () is a gap between Schlieper Bay and Church Bay, near the west end of South Georgia. The name is descriptive and was given by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) following surveys by the SGS in the period 1951-57.
Clarkey
Clarkey is the nickname of:
Virino
The virino is a hypothetical infectious particle that was once theorized to be the cause of scrapie and other degenerative diseases of the central nervous system; it was thought to consist of nucleic acids in a protective coat of host cell proteins. The hypothesis was never widely accepted, and the causative agents responsible for these diseases are now widely accepted to be prions.
Scampi
"Scampi" is the Italian plural of "scampo", "Nephrops norvegicus". In English, "scampi" is used as singular, plural, or uncountable. The Italian word may be derived from the Greek καμπή "kampē" ("bending" or "winding").
Years after, scampi became scarce. Due to scarcity, Italy, Greece, the United Kingdom and Spain would often substitute shrimp in scampi when required.
Sparkie
Sparkie may refer to:
Maakies
However, on more than one occasion he has claimed that the true significance of the strip's name is a strict secret: "I can't release that information until a certain person dies... Because he or she would be extremely pissed off to even know that that name was being used."
Scrapie
Historically, scrapie had been considered to be an animal health issue. However, between 1996 and 1999 the UK SEAC had been considering the control and eradication of scrapie in the UK also with public health in mind because of concern over five issues:
Winklepicker
The extremely pointed toe was called the "winkle picker" because in England periwinkle snails, or winkles, are a popular seaside snack which is eaten using a pin or other pointed object to extract the soft parts out of the coiled shell carefully, hence the phrase: "to winkle something out", and based on that, "winklepickers" became a humorous name for shoes with a very pointed tip. Other countries had other humorous names, e.g. in Norway and Sweden they were called "myggjagere/myggjagare", literally "Mosquito hunter". They are still popular in the raggare and rockabilly subcultures. In some parts of the U.S. they are called "roach stompers."
Scrapie
Various studies have indicated prions (PrP) that infect sheep and goats with the fatal transmissible encephalopathy known as scrapie, are able to persist in soil for years without losing their pathogenic activity. Dissemination of prions into the environment can occur from several sources: mainly, infectious placenta or amniotic fluid of sheep and possibly environmental contamination by saliva or excrement.
List of Skulduggery Pleasant characters
Thrasher often tries to correct Scapegrace, such as his name for the Revengers Club (Vengeance Brigade), agreeing with Valkyrie's suggestion, Vengeance Squad. He also admits to Valkyrie that the reason he burns so well is probably the creams he uses. Thrasher is portrayed as being dim-witted and is known to disrupt conversations, much to the annoyance of his master Vaurien Scapecrage (also a zombie).
Sharpie
Sharpie may refer to:
Zips
Zips (also Siggies or Geeps) is a slang term often used as a derogatory slur by Italian American and Sicilian American mobsters in reference to newer immigrant Sicilian and Italian mafiosi. The name is said to have originated from mobsters' inability to understand the faster-speaking Sicilian dialects, which appeared to "zip" by. Other theories include pejorative uses such as Sicilians' preference for silent, homemade zip guns. According to still another theory, the term is a contraction of the Sicilian slang term for "hicks" or "primitives." The older Sicilian mafiosi of the pre-Prohibition era known as "Mustache Petes" (who eventually were deposed by American-born mobsters during the Castellammarese War) were also referred to as "zips".
Striscia la notizia
The name of the show literally translates in English as "the news slither". The polysemic term "striscia" () refers to a cartoon strip (noun) while its conjugation "strisciare" is a verb which means "to crawl" or "to slither", thus allegorically referring to a worm or snake which slithers and bores underground digging holes and exposing "cheats".
John Crawley
Nicknamed "Creepy", he promised much in his early career; he was a leading run-scorer at Under-19 international level and Young Cricketer of the Year in 1994. An elegant leg-side hitter and player of spin bowling, a lack of off-side shots hampered his international career, as did injury. He enjoyed a rejuvenation in 2002 when he joined Hampshire, following legal battles with Lancashire, and celebrated his recall to the England team with a Test century at Lord's. Crawley played in 37 Test matches in total.
Rupee (musician)
Rupert Clarke (born September 10, 1975), best known by his stage name Rupee, is a soca musician from Barbados. He was born in military barracks in Germany to a German mother and a Bajan father, who was serving in the British armed forces at the time. He later migrated to Barbados. He was signed to Atlantic Records.
Skrapan
Skrapan (Swedish word for "The Scraper") may refer to:
Scrapie
Confirmatory testing for scrapie can only be achieved by applying immunohistochemistry of disease-associated prion protein (PrP) to tissues collected "post mortem", including obex (a brainstem structure), retropharyngeal lymph node and palatine tonsil. A live animal diagnostic, not confirmatory, test was approved in 2008 for immunochemistry testing on rectal biopsy-derived lymphoid tissue by USDA.
Creepy Crespi
Frank Crespi's nickname, 'Creepy', is widely considered one of the more colorful and unusual names in baseball history. In a 1977 radio interview with future hall-of-fame broadcaster Jack Buck, Creepy was asked if people still called him by his nickname (answer was yes). Jack followed up with, "Why do they call you that?" Crespi replied, "Well, it's an involved thing...I used to hear a lot of different stories. But I think the best one is (from) some sportswriter. He said the way I creep up on a ball, because I run low to the ground after a ground ball."
Million Dollar Baby
Eventually, Frankie takes a risk by putting her in the junior welterweight class, where her nose is broken in her first match. Frankie comes to establish a paternal bond with Maggie, who substitutes for his estranged daughter. Scrap, concerned when Frankie rejects several offers for big fights, arranges a meeting for her with Mickey Mack at a diner on her 33rd birthday. Out of loyalty, she declines. Frankie begrudgingly accepts a fight for her against a top-ranked opponent in the UK, where he bestows a Gaelic nickname on her. The two travel to Europe as she continues to win; Maggie eventually saves up enough of her winnings to buy her mother a house, but her mother berates Maggie for endangering her government aid, claiming that everyone back home is laughing at her.
Spottee
Some rumours say that he was thought to be a stranded foreign sailor (some say French) who could not speak English. Other tales tell of his ship being wrecked on the rocks along the Roker coast and as he couldn't afford to rebuild it he became, in effect, shipwrecked. As he could not speak the language he could not converse with the locals, Spottee was thought by some to be a poor lunatic, and is so referred to in The Bishoprick Garland by (Sir) Cuthbert Sharp.
Maxie Rosenbloom
Born in Leonard Bridge, Connecticut, Rosenbloom was nicknamed "Slapsie Maxie" by a journalist due to his open-gloved style of boxing. As a professional boxer, Rosenbloom relied on hitting and moving to score points. He was very difficult to hit cleanly with a power punch and his fights often went the full number of required rounds. In his boxing career, he received thousands of punches to the head, which eventually led to the deterioration of his motor functions.
Prawn cracker
They are a popular snack in parts of Southeast and East Asia. Prawn crackers are a common snack food throughout Southeast Asia, but most closely associated with Indonesia and Malaysia. These are called krupuk udang in Indonesian, "prawn crackers" in British English and "shrimp chips" or "Prawn crackers" in American English. They are known as "kroepoek" (old Indonesian spelling for "krupuk", based on Dutch spelling rules) in Dutch, "Krabbenchips" (crab chips) in German, "chips à la crevette" in French, "nuvole di drago" (dragon clouds) in Italian, and "pan de gambas" (shrimp bread) in Spanish. There are also Japanese (かっぱえびせん) and (새우깡) shrimp chips which are a popular snack in both countries.
Sharpei
Sharpei could refer to:
Raspberry
Raspberry derives its name from "raspise", "a sweet rose-colored wine" (mid-15th century), from the Anglo-Latin "vinum raspeys", or from "raspoie", meaning "thicket", of Germanic origin. The name may have been influenced by its appearance as having a rough surface related to Old English "rasp" or "rough berry".
Sharpies (Australian subculture)
Sharpies, or Sharps, were members of suburban youth gangs in Australia, most significantly from the 1960s and 1970s. They were particularly prominent in Melbourne, but were also found in Sydney and Perth to lesser extents. Sharpies were known for being violent, although a strict moral code was also evident. The name comes from their focus on looking and dressing "sharp".
Scraptiidae
Genera include:
Scrapy
Scrapy project architecture is built around "spiders", which are self-contained crawlers that are given a set of instructions. Following the spirit of other don't repeat yourself frameworks, such as Django, it makes it easier to build and scale large crawling projects by allowing developers to reuse their code. Scrapy also provides a web-crawling shell, which can be used by developers to test their assumptions on a site’s behavior.
Scrappy-Doo
In October of the years 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, he was made the King of Boomerroyalty in which each weekend despite being infamous, the channel "Boomerang" showed 2-hour installments of "Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo" and "The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show" all month. In the series finale of "" "Mitefall!", Bat-Mite attempts to get the show cancelled and introduces a thinly-veiled analogy to Scrappy in Punchichi, the nephew of Ace the Bat-Hound. Scrappy had been added for opposite reasons.
List of Kickin' It characters
Rudy Gillespie (Jason Earles) is a third-degree blackbelt and the sensei - also, more recently, manager - of the local Bobby Wasabi Martial Arts Academy, Rudy was a top amateur martial artist until being sidelined by an injury; he remains as competitive as they come. He's a lifelong fan of Bobby Wasabi, and keeps posters of all the man's movies around the dojo. Rudy has used his entire life's savings to become co-owner of the BWMAA chain, and takes fierce pride in the fact. Despite his wacky nature and sometimes-gross sense of humor, he's a very good (if unorthodox) karate instructor who genuinely identifies with his students...and who's always ready to back them up when rough times get rougher. His last name, Gillespie, was first revealed in "It Takes Two To Tangle." In Kickin It On Our Own, he sells the dojo but gets it back after winning a fight against Kofi Kingston. After becoming Sam's guardian, Rudy makes Jack his assistant sensei. In "The Boys are back in Town", after a ferris wheel accident, Rudy opened the Wasabi Warrior Academy.
Gasparillo Island
The Gasparillo name has been derived because of its small size relative to the much larger Gaspar Grande Island, located just to the south of it. It has also been called "Scorpion Island" and "Centipede Island" due to the nature of its fauna. Sometime in the 19th century, it was also referred to as "Gopee", based on one of its owners "Guppy", a Trinidad naturalist. He did not retain possession of the island due to a failure of paying land tax.
Thomisidae
Rationalisation for the name crab spider is generally subjective and anecdotal. It is commonly said to refer to a fancied resemblance to crabs, or to the way such spiders hold their two front pairs of legs, or their ability to scuttle sideways or backwards. Some spiders so called have bodies that are flattened and angular. At all events, the Thomisidae are the family most generally referred to as "crab spiders". However, some members of the Sparassidae are called "giant crab spiders", the Selenopidae are called "wall crab spiders", and various members of the Sicariidae are sometimes called "six-eyed crab spiders". Some unrelated orb-weaver spider species such as "Gasteracantha cancriformis" also are commonly called "crab spiders".
Scrapie
Breeds such as Cheviot and Suffolk are more susceptible to scrapie than other breeds. Specifically, this is determined by the genes coding for the naturally occurring prion proteins. The most resistant sheep have a double set of "ARR" alleles, while sheep with the "VRQ" allele are the most susceptible. A simple blood test reveals the allele of the sheep, and many countries are actively breeding away the "VRQ" allele.
Club de Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata
An original nickname was (and still is) "triperos" ("tripe" or "gut-handlers"). This name has its origin in the fact that many of Gimnasia's original supporters worked in the meat-processing plants of nearby Berisso. In newspaper caricatures from the early 1900s, Gimnasia was accordingly depicted as a "butcher", instead of the current "wolf". However, Gimnasia is still often greeted by its fans with a resounding "Tripa corazón!" (Spanish for "Heart of tripe!"). Curiously, the same nickname is applied when referring to the population of Porto in Portugal, although the meaning of the nickname in Portuguese is closer to "tripe-eaters".
Scrapie
The pathogenesis of scrapie involves the lymphatic system. Once the agent is absorbed through the intestines, misfolded prions first appear and accumulate in the lymph nodes, especially in Peyer's patches at the small intestine. Eventually, the infection invades the brain, often through the spinal cord or the medulla oblongata by creeping up the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system, respectively.
Scrappy-Doo
Scrappy-Doo is a fictional Great Dane puppy created by Hanna-Barbera Productions in 1979, with the catchphrases, "Scrappy Dappy Doo", "Lemme at 'em!" and "Puppy Power!". He is the nephew of Hanna-Barbera cartoon star Scooby-Doo. Scrappy has appeared in a number of the various incarnations of the "Scooby-Doo" cartoon series. Lennie Weinrib provided his voice for one season in 1979, and from 1980 on it was performed by Don Messick (who also voiced Scooby). In the first live-action theatrical movie, video games, and commercials, he was voiced by Scott Innes. He was created to save the show's ratings which by 1979 had begun to sink to the point of cancellation threats from ABC, who were considering choosing between Scooby-Doo and an unnamed pilot from Ruby-Spears Enterprises, whose pilot Evanier had also written. He successfully boosted the show's ratings and kept the show alive.
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathy
In the 5th century BCE, Hippocrates described a disease like TSE in cattle and sheep, which he believed also occurred in man. Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus records cases of a disease with similar characteristics in the 4th and 5th centuries AD. In 1755, an outbreak of scrapie was discussed in the British House of Commons and may have been present in Britain for some time before that. Although there were unsupported claims in 1759 that the disease was contagious, in general it was thought to be due to inbreeding and countermeasures appeared to be successful. Early-20th-century experiments failed to show transmission of scrapie between animals, until extraordinary measures were taken such as the intra-ocular injection of infected nervous tissue. No direct link between scrapie and disease in man was suspected then or has been found since. TSE was first described in man by Alfons Maria Jakob in the 1921. Daniel Carleton Gajdusek's discovery that Kuru was transmitted by cannibalism accompanied by the finding of scrapie-like lesions in the brains of Kuru victims strongly suggested an infectious basis to TSE. A paradigm shift to a non-nucleic infectious entity was required when the results were validated with an explanation of how a prion protein might transmit spongiform encephalopathy. Not until 1988 was the neuropathology of spongiform encephalopathy properly described in cows. The alarming amplification of BSE in the British cattle herd heightened fear of transmission to humans and reinforced the belief in the infectious nature of TSE. This was confirmed with the identification of a Kuru-like disease, called new variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, in humans exposed to BSE. Although the infectious disease model of TSE has been questioned in favour of a prion transplantation model that explains why cannibalism favours transmission, the search for a viral agent is being continued in some laboratories.
Scrapie
Some sheep scratch excessively and show patches of wool loss and lesions on the skin. Scratching sheep over the rump area may lead to a nibbling reflex, which is characteristic for the condition.
Scrapie
Scrapie usually affects sheep around three to five years of age. The potential for transmission at birth and from contact with placental tissues is apparent.
Ralph Barbieri
Barbieri was a stringer for Sport magazine before he joined KNBR in 1984 to host his own sports talk show. In 1996, he was teamed with Tolbert, a former NBA player. Barbieri's nickname is "The Razor" because of his raspy voice, thought by some listeners to resemble a barber's electric razor, and his "no-nonsense" approach to interviews. The nickname, which may have also been inspired by his surname's resemblance to "barber," was given to him by longtime San Francisco Chronicle columnist Herb Caen. In 2007, Barbieri renewed his four-year contract with KNBR through November 2011.
Barbieri was known to end his show with, "Angels fly because they take themselves lightly," a quote from Gilbert K. Chesterton.
Rupes
Rupes is the Latin word for 'cliff' (the same form "rupes" is both singular and plural). It is used in planetary geology to refer to escarpments on other worlds. , the IAU has named 62 such features in the Solar System, on Mercury (17), Venus (7), the Moon (8), Mars (23), the asteroids Vesta (2) and Lutetia (2), and Uranus's satellites Miranda (2) and Titania (1).
Skrap Skerries
Skrap Skerries () are two small groups of islands and rocks (skerries) lying midway between Cape George and Barff Point, close off the north coast of South Georgia. The present name, which dates back to about 1930, derives from the Norwegian term "skrapskjaer" or "skrapskjar" formerly used for these islands.
Knautia arvensis
Species of scabious were used to treat scabies, and many other afflictions of the skin including sores caused by the bubonic plague. The word scabies comes from the Latin word for "scratch" (scabere). Another name for this plant is gipsy rose.
The genus Knautia is named after a 17th-century German botanist, "Christian Knaut".
Crapaud
Jean Crapaud, also Johnny Crappeau or Johnny Crappo, as defined by "Webster's Online Dictionary", "is a jocose name given to a Frenchman. It is intended as a national personification of the French people as a whole in much the same sense as John Bull is to the English. It is sometimes used as a literary device to refer to a typical Frenchman, usually in the form of "Monsieur Jean Crapaud"." The usage of the word "crapaud" in this case is similar to the derogative use of the word "frog", referencing the supposed French affinity for frog legs as a delicacy, and thus considered to be a slur and derogative.
Scrapie
Out of fear of BSE, many European countries banned some traditional sheep or goat products made without removing the spinal cord, such as smalahove and smokie.
Scratchie
Scratchie and similar may refer to:
Rampage (Marvel Comics)
Stuart survived the shooting, having lost three of his fingers on one of his hands. Rampage appeared among the members of Hood's Crime Syndicate. In "Secret Invasion", he is among the many supervillains who rejoined the Hood's crime syndicate and attacked an invading Skrull force. In the midst of the invasion, Clarke learned that the Punisher was in fact responsible for killing his girlfriend and swears to kill Frank, donning his Rampage costume again. Amidst a battle between skrulls, he corners Frank and Bridge. When the three are later attacked by a Skrull sniper, Clarke opts to take down the Skrull as he has powers, during this the Punisher learns Clarke's imprisonment was because he killed a cop, leading to a battle between the two. Concluding by both being trapped in a room where the Skrulls fired a rocket into, leaving Clarke heavily scarred, in a manner similar to Jigsaw, and vowing revenge on Frank Castle.
Whuppity Stoorie
Whippitie Stourie (pronounced "whuppity stoorie") is a Scottish fairy tale collected by Robert Chambers in "Popular Rhymes of Scotland". It is Aarne-Thompson type 500, The Name of the Helper. This categorizes it with "Rumpelstiltskin", although guessing the name of a helper to rescue a baby is the only common motif.
Slam Creepers
The name is a humorous anglicisation of Swedish 'slamkrypare', 'mud crawlers', a slang name for a kind of shoes.
Craigie
Craigie may refer to:
Craigie, a surname common in Scotland, especially Orkney
Crips and Bloods: Made in America
The name “Crips” was chosen after narrowing down to various names. The word “Crips” was generated from the younger gang members acting like pimps, and their cane and walk caused people in their neighborhoods to call them “cripples” and was later shortened to “Crips”. It reflected the young age of majority of the gang members, many of which were 17 years old.
Thomas Crapper
The word "crap" is actually of Middle English origin and predates its application to bodily waste. Its most likely etymological origin is a combination of two older words, the Dutch "krappen": to pluck off, cut off, or separate; and the Old French "crappe": siftings, waste or rejected matter (from the medieval Latin "crappa," chaff). In English, it was used to refer to chaff, and also to weeds or other rubbish. Its first application to bodily waste, according to the "Oxford English Dictionary", appeared in 1846 under a reference to a "crapping ken," or a privy, where "ken" means a house.
Krupuk
In Indonesia, the term "krupuk" refers to the type of relatively large crackers, while the term "kripik" or "keripik" refers to smaller bite-size crackers; the counterpart of chips (or crisps) in western cuisine. For example, potato chips are called "kripik kentang" in Indonesia. Both terms, krupuk and kripik, sound like the breaking or crumbling of this crispy snack to denote its crispiness. Thus, the etymology of the term "krupuk" is an onomatopoeia in Indonesian to describe the crunch sound of this crispy snack.
Crowdie
Crowdie is a Scottish fresh cheese, or the term less often refers to a type of brose (an uncooked porridge).
Scrappy-Doo
In the "Family Guy" movie "", Chris Griffin was required by his mother, Lois Griffin, to mention the fourth member of "Sex and the City", he could not come up with the correct answer, he instead took a wild and very inaccurate guess by saying it was Scrappy-Doo. In the episode "Meg Stinks!", Brian Griffin is forced to sleep outside (due to getting sprayed by a skunk) and states his nephew Scrappy Brian did not even make it through the night. It then cuts to a scene depicting a puppy resembling Brian, who inquires about a noise in the bushes, Brian would rather ignore it, but Scrappy Brian shouts Scrappy-Doo's catchphrase, "Let me at 'em", and charges, and is eaten by a velociraptor. Brian notes he told his sister, "This was not a good weekend". On the soundtrack album, "", Jason Alexander reports that Scrappy is the product of a drunken encounter between Scooby-Doo and Daphne.
Scrap the Japs
Scrap the Japs is an American anti-Japanese cartoon with the popular character Popeye as protagonist. It follows his adventures after being sent for punishment on a ship and running into Japanese sailors. The film was released in 1942 by Famous Studios, a part of Paramount Studios and focuses on racist stereotypes of the Japanese during the war. These images were based on pre-existing images of the Japanese that the American people had in their minds from previous fears about immigration. Because of the racism, this cartoon, along with some other World War II cartoons is now banned from being broadcast in most countries.
List of recurring characters in The Suite Life of Zack &amp; Cody
Skippy (played by Bo Crutcher) – The night-manager of the Tipton Hotel, he grew up in a farm and said his grandfather was scary. He is not very bright, and appears to be frightened of Mr. Moseby. He is so dim-witted that immediately after Mr. Moseby told him not to let Zack or Cody into the exhibit, he let them in anyway. He first appeared in "Scary Movie", but Mr. Moseby called him Sparky, although it is possible that Mr. Moseby did not know his name, because he called him his night-manager while in other episodes he calls him Skippy. Skippy was left in charge of the hotel in the episode "I Want My Mummy". Zack says that Skippy is so nice, that he would give anyone anything if they just asked, even his wallet.
Xi Scorpii
ξ Scorpii (Latinized to Xi Scorpii) is the star's Bayer designation. Xi Scorpii has no proper name, though it was erroneously known as "Graffias" before that name was applied to Beta Scorpii. Its Flamsteed designation is "51 Librae". When the modern constellation boundaries were drawn, Xi Scorpii was assigned to Scorpius, and the Flamsteed designation fell out of use.
Scrappy-Doo
Scrappy, from his very first appearance, has been shown to be quite courageous, charging attacking monsters with little worry to his own safety. He also did not take kindly to those insulting his Uncle Scooby or Shaggy. Later episodes showed he had an adventurous streak, and was oblivious to his two caretakers not sharing such a trait. He was almost always happy and rarely sad, fitting with the show's light-hearted tone. As time grew on, he became more reserved, and opted to help find clues instead of fighting, though he was still feisty and brave throughout his run.Mel Blanc was the first choice to voice Scrappy, given his connection to Henery Hawk, but wanted too much money to voice the part. The second consideration was actor Frank Welker, who coined the catchphrase "Puppy Power" during his audition. He would later change this to "Monkey Muscle" for the similar Donkey Kong Jr. character he would voice for TV's "Saturday Supercade". The next choice was Messick, who was seen as giving the best audition, but still deemed "the wrong voice". Afterwards, other well-known cartoon voice artists were considered or suggested: Daws Butler, Paul Winchell, Marilyn Schreffler, Howard Morris, Dick Beals and Marshall Efron. Ultimately, Lennie Weinrib was chosen, and after the first season, Messick became the final voice for the rest of the series' run after Weinrib asked for a higher salary.

The cause of scrapie, as with other transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, is unknown and is a matter of debate; the agent is very difficult to destroy with heat, radiation and disinfectants, does not evoke any detectible immune response, and has a long incubation period of between 18 months and 5 years. The agent is thought to be much smaller than the smallest currently known virus and the prevailing theory is that it is caused by a misfolded protein called a prion. Prions multiply by causing normally folded proteins of the same type to 
take on their abnormal shape, which then go on to do the same, in a kind of chain reaction. These abnormal proteins are gradually accumulated in the body, especially in nerve cells, which subsequently die.
Richie Wraggs
The reason for his longevity was the success in the readers votes for 'Top Ten comic strips', where his comic strip had many votes. Voted 4th top strip by the readers in issue 11 and again ninth most popular strip by the readers in issue 19 Richie was consistently voted in the top comic strips. Voted 9th most popular strip by the readers in issue 96 10th most popular strip by the readers in issue 116 5th most popular strip by the readers in issue 124 Finally in the last printed Jackpot readers top ten he was voted 8th most popular strip by the readers in issue 134
Unusually for a popular character he did make it to the merged issue with Buster. The reason for this was that Mike Lacey already drew the even more popular 'X-Ray Specs' (always in the top three strips as voted by the readers) The other nine characters voted in issue 134 all went on to the merged issue. Some other top characters from Jackpot Comic were Milly O' Naire and Penny Less and Jack Pott.
Squee (character)
Squee carries around with him a dilapidated teddy bear he has named Shmee. Often, Squee talks to Shmee like a real person, confiding in the stuffed toy, who apparently responds though no readable dialogue is ever exchanged between the two, save one strip in which Squee has a conversation with Shmee in his dreams. Shmee claims to be a 'trauma sponge,' soaking up all the negative feelings and experiences and storing them inside himself for Squee. He says this will prevent Squee from becoming like Johnny C. During the silent exchanges they share on various occasions, Shmee often suggests that Squee do something violent, such as arson, in retaliation for some wrong committed against him. Squee laughs these suggestions off, assuming that Shmee is joking, though to the reader it is fairly obvious that he is not.
Forpet
A lippie was so called because a "leap" was a traditional name for a "basket" in Scotland.
Scrunchie
The Scrunchie was invented by Philips E. Meyers in 1963 but was not patented until 1987 by Ronny Revson, who named the decorative hair accessory the Scunci after her pet toy poodle. The name Scrunchie was a natural evolution, because the fabric scrunched up. After patenting the Scrunchie, Revson spent most of her time in legal disputes, both with manufacturers and her own lawyers. Scrunchies were particularly popular in the 1980s and 1990s, including larger, more elaborate versions. Scrunchies regained popularity in the mid 2010s. Debbie Gibson in particular wore them; Madonna wore a large velvet scrunchie in "Desperately Seeking Susan". An episode of "Sex and the City" mocked the fashion.
Scrapple
Scrapple, also known by the Pennsylvania Dutch name "Pannhaas" or "pan rabbit", is traditionally a mush of pork scraps and trimmings combined with cornmeal and wheat flour, often buckwheat flour, and spices. The mush is formed into a semi-solid congealed loaf, and slices of the scrapple are then pan-fried before serving. Scraps of meat left over from butchering, not used or sold elsewhere, were made into scrapple to avoid waste. Scrapple is best known as an American food of the Mid-Atlantic states (Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Virginia). Scrapple and "panhaas" are commonly considered an ethnic food of the Pennsylvania Dutch, including the Mennonites and Amish. Scrapple is found in supermarkets throughout the region in both fresh and frozen refrigerated cases.
Plop: The Hairless Elbonian
Plop was so named because, according to Adams, that was "the first thing my mom heard when I was born three months prematurely." From strip #21, Plop starts to rename himself "Squat", after his name certificate misspells "Scott". The background reasons for this name-change are explained in "Dilbert newsletter" No. 39
Oz Clarke
He claims to have been given his chosen name, Oz, "in the school showers" when he was 13, because he played cricket like an Australian cricketer. The Australian cricket team was touring the UK at the same time. Prior to this, he answered to the name Robbie, or Robin formally.
Slipher (Martian crater)
Slipher is an impact crater in the Thaumasia quadrangle of Mars, located at 47.8°S latitude and 84.6°W longitude. It measures 127.14 kilometers in diameter and was named after American astronomers Vesto and Earl Slipher. The naming was approved by IAU's Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature in 1973.
Rapakivi granite
Rapakivi granite is a hornblende-biotite granite containing large round crystals of orthoclase each with a rim of oligoclase (a variety of plagioclase). The name has come to be used most frequently as a textural term where it implies plagioclase rims around orthoclase in plutonic rocks. Rapakivi is Finnish for "crumbly rock", because the different heat expansion coefficients of the component minerals make exposed rapakivi crumbly.
Scrape (Blue Stahli song)
"Scrape" is the second non-album single by Blue Stahli."Scrape" is used in a TV spot for the film "Armored".
Shocker (wrestler)
After losing his mask, Shocker was pushed even more, capitalizing on his good looks. He took the nickname ""1000% Guapo"", or "1000% Handsome". He joined up Bestia Salvaje and Scorpio Jr. to form "Los Guapos" ("The Hansome Ones") in 2000. Shocker later had a falling out with his tag team partners, and he had a heel vs. heel feud along with partners like "Los Capos" (Cien Caras, Universo 2000 and Máscara Año 2000) and El Satánico. In 2003, he started a new version of Los Guapos with frequent tag team partner Máscara Mágica and El Terrible and feuded with the original "Guapos" members Bestia Salvaje, Scorpio Jr. and Emilio Charles Jr. who were now wrestling as "Los Talibanes" ("the Taliban").
Irish Travellers
"Pikey" or "pikie" is a slang term, which is pejorative and considered by many to be a slur. It is used mainly in the UK and Ireland to refer to people who are of the Traveller Community. In a pejorative sense it means "a lower-class person", perhaps 'coarse' or 'disreputable'. It is not well received among Irish Travellers or Romani, as it is considered an ethnic slur.
Paki (slur)
Spike Milligan, who was white, played the lead role of Kevin O'Grady in the 1969 BBC sitcom "Curry and Chips". O'Grady, half-Irish and half-Pakistani, was taunted with the name "Paki-Paddy"; the show intended to mock bigotry. Following complaints, the BBC edited out use of the word in repeats of the 1980s sitcom "Only Fools and Horses". Columnists have perceived this as a way of obscuring the historical truth that the use of such words was commonplace at the time. The word was used in "Rita, Sue and Bob Too" - set in Bradford, one of the first cities to have a large Pakistani community - and also in "East is East" - in which it is used by the mixed-race family as well as by racist characters. In the 2018 biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody", Freddie Mercury, who was Indian Parsi, is often addressed derogatorily as a "Paki".
Maakies
Millionaire has given differing accounts of the origin and meaning of the word "maakies." "Maak" is the name of a character in the strip, a ship's captain who apparently is Uncle Gabby's employer, and in one sense the strip seems to be named after him. Discussing the strip's development, Millionaire said "I fleshed them [the characters] out as best I could at the time, knowing that they'd grow over time. That's why I didn't call the strip Drinky Crow. I called it Maakies because I didn't know who would become the most important character as I went along."
Tracker scrape
A scrape, or tracker scrape, is a request sent by a BitTorrent client to a tracker. A request is sent, connection to the tracker is established, information is exchanged, then the connection is closed. The request does something like a "wipe" or a "pass" over the tracker, and then the tracker sends information back to the client.
Mac Speedie
The Browns reached the NFL championship game in 1951 and 1952, but lost both times. Speedie led the NFL in receiving in 1951 and was named a first-team All Pro, but he did not play in the championship game due to an injury. He was selected for the Pro Bowl for a second time in 1952. After that season, however, he left the Browns to join the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Western Interprovincial Football Union under acrimonious circumstances. Speedie had an independent streak that did not sit well with Brown, whose domineering coaching style grated against many of the men who played for him. "He was one of the ones that Paul Brown picked on quite a bit", recalled former teammate Ken Carpenter. "He'd get on Speedie's case for no particular reason." Speedie showed his displeasure by bringing a skunk to training camp in 1952 and calling it "Paul". Brown told Speedie he did not think it was very funny, to which Speedie responded that it was a nocturnal animal and was named after Paul Revere.
Sharpie (boat)
Sharpies first became popular in New Haven, Connecticut, towards the end of the 19th century. They came into use as a successor to the dugout log canoe and most likely were derived from the flatiron skiff. In an 1879 edition of Forest and Stream, a man named Goodsell claimed to have built the first sharpie with his brother in 1848 and his claim was never contested. These sharpies were typically used for oyster tonging and evolved to suit that work. They grew in popularity because they were easy to row, cheap to build and fast under sail.
List of M*A*S*H characters
Sparky (Sgt. Pryor) is the mostly unseen telephone/radio operator at headquarters. His nickname is probably a carry-over from the days of telegraphy. ("Sparks" is a similar nickname, as used, for instance, by Ellie's father in the film "Contact".) Radar almost always needs to go through Sparky when he makes a call to Seoul, Japan, or the U.S. (Sparky seems to be at his desk round the clock.) Sometimes, for special calls, Sparky requires a bribe to arrange the connection. The character is seen and heard only once, in the first-season episode "Tuttle". This is also the only time his rank and real name are mentioned. He is portrayed by Dennis Fimple, who plays him with a noticeable U.S.-Southern accent.
Scraper, Oklahoma
Scraper is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Cherokee County, Oklahoma, United States. The population was 191 as of the 2010 census. The community was named for Captain Archibald Scraper of the 2nd Regiment, Indian Home Guard.
Scrappy-Doo
Scrappy is part of the storyline in DC Comics Scooby Apocalypse.
Scrap Branch
Scrap Branch was so named because the "scrapping" of mining ores occurred near its course.
Striped skunk
The English word "skunk" has two root words of Algonquian and Iroquoian origin, specifically "seganku" (Abenaki) and "scangaresse" (Huron). The Cree and Ojibwe word "shee-gawk" is the root word for Chicago, which means 'skunk-land'. Alternative English names for the striped skunk include common skunk, Hudsonian skunk, northern skunk, black-tailed skunk and prairie polecat. The latter name was originally used by English settlers, who noted the animal's similarity to the European polecat. This association likely resulted in the striped skunk's subsequent unfavorable reputation as a poultry thief, despite it being a much less destructive animal than the true polecat. The name "Alaska sable" was employed by furriers during the late 19th century.
Kappa Scorpii
κ Scorpii has been called Girtab, which is the Sumerian word for 'scorpion'. The name has survived through the Babylonian star catalogues, and was originally applied to an asterism comprising this star, Lambda Scorpii, Upsilon Scorpii, and Iota Scorpii.
Attilio Lombardo
During his career, he was given the nicknames "Popeye", as he was thought to resemble the cartoon character's appearance due to his own bald head and strong physique, as well as "the Ostrich" (or "Struzzo", in Italian), because of his pace, stamina, and running style.
Lauridromia intermedia
Crabs in the family Dromiidae are often known as "sponge crabs" due to their habit of carrying bits of sponge on their carapace, clipping them to size and shape. Sometimes instead they carry colonial ascidians and occasionally other objects. "Lauridromia intermedia" usually carries a piece of sponge, holding it in place with the claw-like spines on the end of its fourth and fifth pairs of legs.
Scopwick
The name Scopwick comes from old English. Scaep was an old word for sheep and wick meant farm.
The village cemetery includes a War Graves site for airmen from RAF Coleby Grange and RAF Digby (originally RAF Scopwick), and includes that of the young Second World War poet and aviator John Gillespie Magee.
Scraps (American magazine)
Scraps was an American satirical magazine published annually, initially on December 1 and later on January 1. Started in Boston in 1828 by the erstwhile actor David Claypoole Johnston, it was printed from engraved copper plates and sported four pages of cartoons in each issue. Some issues had alternative titles - such as Trollopania no. 5 for 1834, Fiddle,-D.D. no. 7 Nine numbers of the magazine were published between 1828 and 1849.
Biz Markie
Markie has been called the "Clown Prince of Hip Hop."
Scrapie
Scrapie is infectious and transmissible among conspecifics, so one of the most common ways to contain it (since it is incurable) is to quarantine and destroy those affected. However, scrapie tends to persist in flocks and can also arise apparently spontaneously in flocks that have not previously had cases of the disease. The mechanism of transmission between animals and other aspects of the biology of the disease are only poorly understood, and these are active areas of research. Recent studies suggest prions may be spread through urine and persist in the environment for decades.
Scrapie
The prion gene that codes for the prion protein is highly conserved in most mammals, meaning the gene is similar and present in most species of mammals. Three locations on the prion protein gene have been identified as highly polymorphic and may have an effect on scrapie: codons 136, 154, and 171. Codon 154 has not shown any evidence of having a high effect on scrapie susceptibility, but is most likely having an effect on incubation time of the disease. Codons 136 and 171 are thought to control the incubation time as well as the susceptibility of the disease, and are the ones the USDA uses in its breeding standard. Codon 171 has been determined to be the major genetic factor in scrapie susceptibility.
