Interesting words, issue eight

These are turning out to be a bit more sporadic than I'd originally planned/hoped, but in any case, here are some more interesting words. 

neologism: a newly invented word or expression. Some of the words featured in these posts are neologisms created by me. Skyrodemichor is a neologism to describe the smell of concrete after rain.

petro-masculinity: "the relationship between fossil fuels and white patriarchal rule." How traditional ideas of masculinity are intertwined with fossil fuel's societal hegemony. The neighbor who drives an obnoxiously large and noise-polluting truck is demonstrating the concept of petro-masculinity. A tangential effect of petro-masculinity (from this newsletter on the topic) is how men are less likely to recycle because environmentalism is seen as feminine. He eschewed petro-masculinity by choosing to use a bicycle as a primary form of transportation. 

palustrine: here we have another word that is somewhat related to water, as with alluvial and fluvial from the previous issue. Palustrine describes things relating to inland, non-tidal wetlands dominated by vegetation (plants). It includes swamps, as I understand it. Here is a wetlands mapper from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, where different types of wetlands are shown. It is easiest to see the wetlands if you change the basemap to something other than the default satellite view and zoom in. Based on that map, some areas around the banks of streams (riparian areas) are considered palustrine wetlands. The etymology is Latin from a word meaning 'marsh.'  

permaculture: a system of sustainable agriculture or land management that is modeled on the ecosystems found in nature. There are a lot of jargon-y definitions of permaculture out there, so the one here is my distillation and understanding of the concept. A rain garden is an example of permaculture. 

irascible: irritable, easily angered. He is irascible if you disturb his clock radio collection, so do not go near it. Working under an irascible boss, everyone in the department worried they would be fired if they inadvertently upset him. 

Perhaps it's expected, but it seems like the more conceptual words end up with longer explanations/associated commentary from me. On the topic of petro-masculinity, I wondered if the counterpart of "petro-femininity" existed and so came across this, which I merely skimmed, but it discusses the relationship between oil and feminism. Rhetorical: if it exists or were to exist, what would petro-femininity look like?
