• tbc commented on the word stockcropper

  stockcropper (noun, informal, humorous): a company director or executive whose pay depends largely on company performance (stock, options, bonuses) rather than a fixed salary.

  Etymology: nonce blend of stock (shares in a company) and sharecropper (a tenant farmer who pays the landowner with a share of the harvest). The joke inverts the sharecropper's position: the stockcropper's income also rises and falls with the crop, here the share price. Coined in October 2026 as a playful alternative to wage slave for someone whose pay is performance-linked. I found no earlier use, though that is a limited search and not proof of absence. Coined in conversation with Claude Opus 5.5, an AI assistant and my talking library.

  Compare: golden handcuffs, wage slave.

  **Aumifaecia:** sentimiento de profundo afecto hacia una persona ante la inminencia de alejarse de su vida, acompañado de la percepción de que dicho afecto no es correspondido con la misma intensidad. Se caracteriza por anticipar la tristeza de la ausencia antes de que ocurra la separación y por la sensación de que la persona amada podría no experimentar la misma añoranza o sensación de pérdida.
