[There is some difference in criteria as to the accentuation of this name of Russian origin. For me it is neither Abaldon nor Abaldón, so I define it here. ] 10( 1073; 1072; 1083; 1076; 1086; 1085; (Ábaldon) is a character in the Soviet film 1050; 1086; 1083; 1100; 1094; 1072; 10( 1083; 1100; 1084; 1072; 1085; 1079; 1086; 1088; 1072; ( koltsa almanzora "The Rings of Almanzor", Igorr Voznesensky, 1977) who claims the hand of Princess Aleli to inherit the throne from her mother, Queen Januaria II, although in the end she prefers the brave gardener of the palace.

sherlock holmes
  19

Sherlock Holmes is a character created by British writer Arthur Conan Doyle in 1887 for 4 novels and 56 short stories that appeared in the monthly magazine The Strand Magazine. He is a private detective and police consultant, with extraordinary deductive ability, practical knowledge of chemistry, anatomy, geology, astronomy, boxing, fencing, law, acting, theatrical makeup, music (he is a violinist), police literature, . . . but his main ability to solve cases is in observation and analysis. He had enormous popularity in his time (England of the late nineteenth century, early twentieth century) almost at the height of today's superheroes, with a companion of adventures such as Dr. John H. Watson (his friend and chief chronicler), an archenemy like math professor James Moriarty, a worthy and beautiful opponent like Irene Adler (I can think of, like Batman's Catwoman), a drug addiction (like Ironman?) , and even died and rose again (as Superman! 128513; ) , although the latter at the request of the public; to top it off, and like other fictional characters, he also participated in a world war (the first) in counter-espionage duties for the United Kingdom against Germany. His fame extends to today, with movies, series, comics, manga and plays with him as the protagonist or with his inspiration.

  
vampiro
  22

1º_ Fantastic creature, immortal human while feeding on the blood of his victims. By comparison, anyone who takes advantage of the work, wealth, and even psychic energy of others. See Carmilla, Dracula. 2º_ Common name of the bat Desmodontinae, for its characteristic of hematophage ("that feeds on blood").

  
ogro
  22

1º_ European mythical creature, it is an anthropomorphic being of great dimensions, which feeds on human flesh and has magical powers, although these attributes depend on the version, since it is a recurring character in fairy tales that describe it in very different ways. Spanish incorporates it from the French ogre ("giant anthropophage of Norse mythology"), but there are similar beings with similar names in many ancient Eurasian languages, such as Celtic ogyr or Sanskrit ugra, Greco-Latin orco, or exaggerating a little Japanese oni. 2º_ By the previous one, it is said of a person of bad character.

  
zapirón
  17

1º_ It is a name that is used to call a cat. Although there is a popular tradition that supposes him the father of all cats because he traveled on the Ark and was saved from the Universal Flood, he actually has his literary origin in "Maese Zapirón or The Cat in Boots." ("Le Maître chat ou le Chat botté", "The Master Cat or the Cat in Boots", Charles Perrault, 1697) which is actually a version of an old Italian folk tale about this cat, baptized Zapirón in the Spanish version, which with a series of deceptions gets its owner to marry the king's daughter. This word is an augmentative of the interjection "Zape!" to scare away cats, which apparently today only Moroccans use. 2º_ The poet Félix de Samaniego paid homage to him in his fable "Los Gatos escrupulosos" (1781), along with another literary cat such as the Micifuf de la "Gatomaquia" (Lope de Vega, 1634). See Zapaquilda . 3º_ It is also the Spanish name of the Japanese video game character 12496; 12531; 12479; 12512; , ( Bantamu "bantamother in boxing") which, of course, is a cat. 4º_ For the above, it is the name of several feline characters in stories, films, songs, . . .

  
pantalone
  16

'Pantalone' is a character from the Commedia dell'Arte ("Comedy of Art") who in principle represented the old Venetian merchant, libidinous, greedy, advantageous, for whom everything can be bought, but over time he changed to a more sympathetic character, wise in his pragmatism, although still greedy and traditionalist. This could have happened because of the influence of the Venetian public, who greatly appreciated Pantalone and did not see it as a mockery. The name may come from 'San Pantaleone' (Pantéleimon de Nicomedia), which already had in the eleventh century a very important temple in Venice, or perhaps from the patron saint San Marcos, who was represented as a winged lion and was part of the Venetian flag, so his army was called pianta leone, which planted the lion's banner in each conquered territory. See Pantaleon .

  
nessie
  20

It is the name by which the mythical "Loch Ness monster ( also known as "Nessiteras rhombopteryx") is popularly known. See cryptozoology.

  
gamusino
  22

1º_ In America it is the bird described by colleague Danilo Enrique Noreña Benítez. 2º_ In Spain, as there is no Molothrus bonariensis, it is the name of an imaginary animal, which is cited as a joke.

  
silegma

This query doesn't seem to come from some collection of synonyms that the site automatically converts, but it does repeat itself in various definitions as a link (p. and. in asyndeton ) . From the context it seems to be a mixture of silepsis with zeugma 128527; .

homo selfie
  17

'Homo selfie' is an ironic neologism, taking as a reference the names that were given to the different evolutions of the human species (p. and. Homo habilis, Homo neanderthalensis, Homo floresiensis, Homo sapiens) for its main feature, where 'Homo selfie' would be the new human who is dedicated to taking photographs to show others, although he also looks at other people's selfies thanks to the easy access he has to social networks. See Homo ("genus of hominid primates"), selfie ("selfie, photographic self-portrait").

  
xenocida
  22

In principle, it is a dictionary error, since xenocida is "genocidal" in Galician. But, although it is not incorporated into the Castilian dictionary, it can be a neologism from the Greek 958; 949; 957; 959; 962; (xenos "foreign") and fallen Latin ("to cut off, to kill"), for those who murder foreigners for the mere fact of being so. However the use may be a little wider thanks to the science fiction novel Xenocide ("Ender, the Xenocidal", Orson Scott Card, 1991) where the crime is committed against an entire extraterrestrial species.

  
kakistocracia
  22

Superlative of cacocracy? Actually, yes; it is a neologism that is used in very few cases where it fits the context, because otherwise it would be a propaganda opinion. It is taken from the Greek 954; 945; 954; 959; 962; ( kakos "bad" ) the superlative suffix 953; 963; 964; 969; ( istous ) 954; 961; 945; 964; 959; 962; ( kratos "power, government") .

  
teofonía
  19

It may be a type of theophany, although it only refers to singing, to the voice, to the heard word of a deity. It is practically a neologism for these cases, and is taken from the Greek 952; 949; 959; 962; ( theos "god") 966; 969; 957; 951; ( fooné "voice, sound, speech") .

  
grupusculismo
  19

Although debatable, the neologism can be interpreted as the tendency of some groupings – which at first share a common idea – to disintegrate, to separate into small groups by personal ambitions, difference of nuances in ideology or by trifles that prevent the formation of a block of weight in their field. It is clearly derogatory, and is formed by small groups ("small group, especially of people") the suffix -ism (in its double sense of "doctrine" and "attitude"). See isms.
