etaoin shrdlu
A nonsensical set of letters that would occasionally appear in newspapers, books, etc. (in the days of hard-set type in publishing). Often assumed to be gibberish Latin. A nonsensical phrase.
Linotype machines had these letters in two rows of 6, in their approximate order of frequency in the English language. Supposedly, lino operators would test their machines by running their fingers down the rows, or use the letters to indicate an error in the typesetting, and occasionally would forget to remove the "phrase" from the piece they were typesetting, and was not uncommon to see printed in newspapers of the day. It appeared often enough that it came to the notice of the general populace, and Walt Kelly even named a character in his comic strip "Pogo" Etaoin Shrdlu. It has also appeared- purposefully- in works of fiction and literature.

Etaoin Shrdlu
Historically, this phrase was used in linotype newsprinting to queue to the proofreader that a line mistake or template needs corrected. The first 2 vertical rows in the linotype keyboard read "ETAOIN SHRDLU".
Today, this phrase refers to the type of sensational, defamatory, libellous or click-baity articles that an obnoxious indie journalist publishes. It's typically an insult.

Donald's entire "in the crossfire" type of journalism adds up to just a bunch of hyped-up Etaoin Shrdlu written about bar DJs he doesn't like.

Etain
An old Irish name, meaning 'shining star.' You cannot find a more accurate definition then that because not all Etains are the same, you could not find a definition here that defines all Etains. Nuff said.

TLDU
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
Me: Woah! TLDU!
