Deseret

text: In 1849 the Mormons organized a "free and independent" government and erected the "State of Deseret," with Brigham Young as its head. But the very next year Congress deliberately snubbed it and created the "Territory of Utah" out of the same accumulation of mountains, sage-brush, alkali and general desolation, -- but made Brigham Governor of it.

ref: 1872, Mark Twain, “Appendix A”, in Roughing It, Hartford, Conn.: American Publishing Co.:

type: quotation

links: Utah Utah

raw_glosses: (chiefly historical) A state, proposed in 1849 and never recognized, which would have included most of Utah and Nevada and parts of other states.

text: Nearly 1,000 people attended tours of the 15,000-resident city, a dinner and a ceremony to commemorate Utah's Jan. 4 birthday, when the land of Deseret became an arm of the Union.

ref: 1998 January 4, Jeffrey P. Haney, “Lehi takes center stage at Statehood Day events”, in Deseret News, Lehi, Utah: Deseret News Publishing Co.:

raw_glosses: (poetic) The state of Utah itself, especially the Salt Lake Valley and environs.

glosses: A script, invented in Utah, conceived of as a radical reform and replacement of the Latin script, intended for writing English phonetically. Example: the word seven in Deseret is 𐑅𐐯𐑂𐐮𐑌.

pos: name

text: The tomb contained percussion, string and wind instruments in a remarkable state of preservation, including the largest assemblage of Bronze Age bells ever recovered. Discovered in 1977, near the city of Suizhou in Hubei Province in central China, the tomb, from the fifth century B.C., has long been considered "one of the most significant archeological discoveries of the 20th century," said Peter A. Young, editor in chief of the magazine.

text: But scarce was supper well over, before a change so incredible was wrought in me, such violent, yet pleasingly irksome sensations took possession of me that I scarce knew how to contain myself; the smart of the lashes was now converted into such a prickly heat, such fiery tinglings, as made me sigh, squeeze my thighs together, shift and wriggle about my seat, with a furious restlessness; whilst these itching ardours, thus excited in those parts on which the storm of discipline had principally fallen, detached legions of burning, subtile, stimulating spirits, to their opposite spot and centre of assemblage, where their titillation raged so furiously, that I was even stinging mad with them.

worrying

text: Moldova did give England's under-employed keeper Joe Hart a worrying moment when Igor Armas sent a free header wide but otherwise it was an easy night.

ref: 2017, Carrie Keagan, Dibs Baer, Everybody Curses, I Swear!: Uncensored Tales from the Hollywood Trenches, Macmillan, →ISBN, page 240:

text: Mormonism is a culture very much predicated on puritanical commitments[…]the Amazon series Alpha House[…]made much of Mormon soaking, an alternative sex practice engaged in by two LDS characters on the show. Soaking basically allows for penis-vagina penetration but absolutely no friction. Insertion is OK; pumping will send you to hell.

ref: 2019, Brenda R. Weber, Latter-day Screens: Gender, Sexuality, and Mediated Mormonism, Duke University Press, →ISBN:

text: This all-or-nothing attitude implies that penetration equal sex. (Although throngs of folks raised in abstinence-based religions might [take this view]. My favorite is the Mormon concept of "soaking," which means a man sticks his penis in a vagina but doesn't move it around, therefore it somehow doesn't count as sex. Gimme a break.)

etymology_text: From rove (“to roam, wander; (archery) to shoot an arrow randomly”) + -er (suffix forming agent nouns from verbs). Rove is derived from Late Middle English *roven, rove (“to wander”); further etymology uncertain, possibly an English Midlands variant of Northern England raven, rave (“to rove, stray, wander”), possibly from Old Norse ráfa (“to roam, wander”) (although rove and rave are only attested much later), possibly from Proto-Germanic *wabōną, *wabjaną (“to cause to weave; to entangle, wrap”), from Proto-Indo-European *webʰ- (“to braid, weave”).
