...sometimes objects are well-known but have no good name. ...Gwyn Headley sent me this query last Sunday: “I work for a picture library, so naming things correctly in image keywords is crucial for us. But how do you find something when you don’t know what it’s called? We had a request for a photograph of one of those end-of-the-pier painted boards into which you stick your head to get photographed. But what are they called? No one seems to know.” A Flickr group featuring pictures of them has the title Things You Stick Your Head In, which may be a bit verbose. My search online unearthed face cut-outs, which was probably made up to identify something hard to describe, as an alternative to whatdoyoucallits or thingamajigs. Mary O’Neill, editor-in-chief of Chambers Dictionaries, helped me out by finding comic foreground, a name (and a genre) which Wikipedia claims was invented by the American painter and cartoonist Cassius Marcellus Coolidge, who early in the twentieth century produced those famous paintings of dogs playing poker. Vivian Marr of Chambers tells me that the French call them passe-têtes, essentially places to put one’s head through (le mot juste, indeed). |
