"The Bureau of Linguistical Reality was established on October 28, 2014 for the purpose of creating a new vocabulary for the Anthropocene.
"Our species (Homo Sapien) is experiencing a collective 'loss of words' as our diverse lexicons fail to represent the emotions and experiences we are undergoing as our habitat (earth) rapidly changes due to climate change and other unprecedented events. To this end, the The Bureau of Linguistical Reality is solemnly tasked with generating linguistic tools to express these changes at the personal and collective level.
"Cartographers are redrawing maps to accommodate rising seas, psychologists are counciling people on climate change related emotions, scientists are defining this as a new age or epoch. The Bureau was thus established as an interactive artwork to help fill the linguistical void in our rapidly changing world."
“_Perhaps the oldest use is its role in Old English, where it was then (and now) used to describe a male goat or deer, among other male animals. It was co-opted circa the 14th century to describe a libidinal young man, and later was used to describe an ambitious person (whom we might now call a “young buck”). In the 1800s, it was also used as a slur against Black or indigenous men._”
