- One who hocus-pocuses.
- 1925, George Jean Nathan, The House of Satan, page 501, columns 1–2:
- And when they make the still further complaint that unless they worm their way into the personal favor of the reviewers by hocus-pocus of one sort or another, such as seeking advice on actors, beseeching a conference over a play manuscript, u. s. w., they will receive treatment not so kind as that vouchsafed a more proficient hocus-pocuser, they say, too, what may or may not, for aught I know, be true.
- 1958 May 29, “‘Blithe Spirit’ to Haunt Milford Theatre May 30-31”, in Pike County Dispatch, number 33, Milford, Pa., pages 1 and 5, column 3:
- A crew of table-tapping thaumaturgists and paint-pot hocus-pocussers is now at work with runes and incantations, said Mesmerist Green (who in ordinary life, Director of Choral Music かつ dramatic coach at Delaware Valley High), transforming the theatre stage into the living room of the pleasant English country home owned by Charles Condomine, the hero—or victim—of the haunted hilarity.
- 1980, Geoffrey Sampson, “The Descriptivists”, in Schools of Linguistics[1], Stanford, Calif.: Stanford University Press, →ISBN, page 72:
- For the hocus-pocussers, choice between alternative analyses was a matter of mere personal taste and certainly not of correct versus incorrect; there was no ‘right answer’, so it was pointless to worry about cases such as the one cited. […] One suspects that the hocus-pocussers may have been happy enough to regard linguistic descriptions as true so long as the descriptive techniques worked unproblematically, and that they simply held the hocus-pocus position in reserve to be used if they encountered an impasse such as the Chinese case described above.
- 1993, Language Sciences, page 435:
- Unfortunately Hutton is very misleading about the hocus-pocus position when, speaking for the hocus-pocusser, he compares the relation of the representation of a sentence to a particular utterance with the relation between a picture of a horse and what that picture depicts, when the picture is not a portrait of an actual horse.
- 1993, Christopher Hutton, “Analysis and notation: the case for a non-realist linguistics”, in Rom Harré and Roy Harris, editors, Linguistics and Philosophy: The Controversial Interface (Language & Communication Library; volume 13), Pergamon Press, →ISBN, pages 166–168:
- Strange or not, the hocus-pocus linguist holds that we cannot invoke descriptive fidelity as a criterion for choosing between different representations. In the light of this, Sampson questions whether the pure ‘hocus-pocusser’ would have any incentive to continue in linguistics. […] However, it is evident that Robins, like Firth, cannot be classified as a hocus-pocusser. […] A more purely hocus-pocus form of argument that the would-be hocus-pocusser might adopt runs as follows.
