It represents a compilation from a variety of sources with a linguistic emphasis on anything relating to the term “fencibles,” including non-conventional usage and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities. The entries cover all parts of speech (noun, verb, adverb or adjective usage) as well as use in modern slang, pop culture, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This “data dump” results in many unexpected examples for fencibles, since the editorial decision to include or exclude terms is purely a linguistic process.
