CANBERRA Cheap Mens Salomon Shoes , Dec. 10 (Xinhua) -- "Shirtfront" has been named Australia's 2014 word of the year, the Australian National University announced on Wednesday on behalf of the Australian National Dictionary Center.

The center, based at the university, selected shirtfront after the word rose to prominence after Prime Minister Tony Abbott promised to "shirtfront" Russian President Vladimir Putin over the down of the Malaysian airline MH17 over Ukraine.

According to the center Cheap Salomon Shoes , shirtfront is a verb chiefly used in Australian rules football, meaning to deliver an aggressive front- on bump to an opponent, or a verb figuratively used to mean to challenge or confront (a person).

It was chosen from a shortlist including the terms, "Team Australia Wholelsale Salomon Shoes Online ," "man-bun," "Ned Kelly beard," and "coward punch."

"'Shirtfront' was little known outside of its sporting context, as a type of hip and shoulder bump of an opponent in Australian rules football Wholelsale Salomon Shoes China , and in Rugby where it refers to grabbing an opponent's jersey," Australian National Dictionary Center Director Dr Amanda Laugesen said.

The figurative use has been around for some years, however. Abbott's threat to shirtfront Putin, and the word itself Wholelsale Kids Salomon Shoes , was widely discussed and satirized in the Australian and international media.

"After the G20 summit in Brisbane, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi both used the term in jest in their speeches to the Australian Parliament," she said.

"Whether the figurative use of the term remains in popular use will be interesting to see."

Laugesen said the Abbott government also contributed "Team Australia" to the lexicon as well as a number of other terms that didn't make the shortlist, including "budget emergency" and " lifters and leaners."

Social and cultural trends over 2014 saw the development of the "man-bun Wholelsale Womens Salomon Shoes ," a hairstyle worn by a man where hair is drawn into a coil at the back of the head.

"The style became popular among young urban men and hipsters and celebrities such as Chris Hemsworth and Harry Styles," she said.

The "Ned Kelly beard," a full beard sported by many young men is a beard reminiscent of that worn by bushranger Ned Kelly.

"Coward punch," a knockout punch or blow delivered from behind Wholelsale Mens Salomon Shoes , had significant prominence early in the year after a series of tragic incidents.

"There was a campaign to replace the Australian English term king-hit with a term considered to better suggest the cowardly nature of the attack," Laugesen said.

"Whether 'coward punch' successfully replaces king-hit in Australian English remains to be seen."

Laugesen said this year was unusual in that people did not see many new technology or social media words rise to significant prominence in Australia, although terms such as "metadata" and " data retention" increased in exposure and public debate.

Review; K脌 a Cirque du Soleil Production in Las Vegas Theater

Posted by tickets4musical on January 31st, 2019

Cirque du Soleil a Canadian entertainment company and the chief stage maker in the world brings Kà at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas Wholelsale Salomon Shoes , Nevada. Get Cheap Cirque du Soleil KA Las Vegas Tickets for a family gathering at an astonishing theatrical production you will never experience anywhere else.

KA refers to the story of a boy and a girl coming of age, taking the audience through the stages of life that they encounter on their way to adulthood like love, conflict and contrast of their KA. KA is basically a spiritual fire that supposedly resides in each individual in ancient Egypt theory. KA can have dual characteristics it can either unite or separate, destroy or illuminate.

In my opinion the production has put too much time and money to the show Cheap Salomon Shoes Online , basically a 90- minute show is a bit too much 30 minutes would’ve been fine. Cirque du Soleil KA Tickets at Tickets4Musical are much cheaper than the rest of the online vendors, how about you check it out yourself. Visit us anytime we’ll be waiting. However the show is displayed in sheer grandness and one would think it’s like a High-Tec video game. It’s more of a theme-part attraction than a theatrical event. Like one of those epic adventure movies by Disney.

Another reason 30 minutes would have been better is that the show bombards you with astonishing imagery that by the time it is finished the thrill is lost on you. You start to question the sense in the show and its weaknesses become clearer.

The Los Angeles Times has stated the show as may be the most lavish production in the western theater. The technical advancement in the production has led them to say so. The costumes and the technical aspects were also praised by the New York Times but the story was not that compelling to them as well. To have a glimpse of the spectaculars exhibiting in a variety of this show Buy Cheap Cirque du Soleil KA Tickets at tickets4musical. As I had already said earlier the show is more of an animation of a mind brought to life than a full-fledged story telling. However the show might be declared as by the critics it has since its debut in 2005 has still earned a million or so audience that on its own is a big thing.

There are numerous funny and thrilling pre-show occurrences like the Imperial Twins who are being taken to a barge demonstrates Martial Arts of both Wushu and Capoeira kind. Then they play a duet on flute while archers with their flamed spears entertain the audience.

Then the barge is attacked by archers and spearmen killing the parents of the twins. The show maybe mesmerizing but you must take not that there are no dialogues. So don’t forget to bring your press kit. Cirque Du Soleil brought a show that is unique in its kind and elaborates the story through the display and martial arts. The demonstration is even more.
