gnomicide
名詞
gnomicide (uncountable)
- The destroying of a gnome.
- 1949 December 2, Tom Jarvis, “Busted, Stolen Gnome No Longer Lights Home”, in The Vancouver Sun, volume LXIV, number 52, Vancouver, B.C., page 47:
- “At 4 a.m. they came back. I looked out the door, and they were struggling with the gnome which was tangled in its own wiring. They dashed it to the ground!” Plainly there was some boorish hoodlumism by youths old enough to know better. Then the lady who had charged one of several youths with gnomicide conceded, unfortunately for her: “I didn’t see the face of the man who did the damage — but the police must know. He came from the party anyway.”
- 1994 July 5, Family Life (Evening Chronicle), page 10:
- 1998 September 12, Desmond Christy, “Non-fiction”, in The Guardian, section “Saturday review”, page 11:
- Adam and Eve seem not have worried about what to put at the bottom of the garden but since the renaissance it has been a real worry, now often answered with a gnome fishing in a tiny pond. Plumptre, and his co-authors, would commit gnomicide if they saw such a thing.
- 2001 January 25, Adam Rozenhart, “Site Unseen”, in The Gateway, volume XC, number 30, page 26:
- The Aussie gnome eliminators have finally gained access to the net in order to show the rest of us their campaign successes. Their site features a veritable cornucopia of photographs and stories from the front lines of neighbourhoods from around the world. Among the casualties of this brutal Gnomicide are Snow White and her Seven Dwarves.
- 2005, Sandra Glover, Deadline, Educational Printing Services Limited, →ISBN, page 8:
- ‘Have you seen this one-legged gnome? 30cm tall. Wearing a red hat and green coat. Carrying a broken spade.’ / ‘A broken spade?’ I said. ‘And only one leg?’ / ‘Well it had two,’ said Joss, ‘until last month, when Mr King accidentally ran over it with his lawn mower.’ / ‘Perhaps it wasn’t an accident,’ I said. ‘Perhaps it was attempted murder. Gnomicide!’
- 2014, Richard Littler, Discovering Scarfolk: For Tourists & Other Trespassers[1], Ebury Press, →ISBN:
- In 1900 two Scarfolk girls took photographs of what they claimed were fairies at the bottom of their garden at Coprofilly House. Britain was soon buzzing with talk of the fairies, especially when the girls managed to capture one of the supernatural beings, which they sent to the Zoological Society of London. Frustratingly for the society’s research members, the fairy cadaver must have somehow magically transformed into papier-mâché during transit. Many people blamed the post office and demanded that the managing director be charged with gnomicide.
- 2020, Sam Cheever, Unbaked Croakies (Enchanting Inquiries; 1), Electric Prose Publications, →ISBN:
- Other than the two-story-high red, yellow, and white garden gnome gracing the grassy center of the circular drive in front of the gray brick building, Gnomish, Inc. looked just like any other professional business. The parking lot to the side of the building was empty. / “Nobody here. Maybe they don’t have a security guard,” I said, frowning. / “Maybe,” Sebille agreed. “If there is, I’ll deal with him.” / Her “take no prisoners” attitude had me a little concerned. “What exactly does that mean?” I asked. I was all for helping Alice with her problem…especially since it was probably going to become my problem if it wasn’t solved…but I had no intention of going to prison for committing gnomicide, thank you very much.
