historicide 

The murder of history; accomplished when a historian leans too far to the postmodernist/relativist or too far to the scientific/objectivist side of the spectrum.

Gibbon nearly committed historicide back there. Thank goodness Ranke has sorted us all out.

Historicle

An article from history. It can be any length of time, as long as it's at least older than five years.

Guy A: Anything on the news?

Guy B: No, but there's this historicle about women in the 50's having sweet racks.

Guy: Uh, thanks... I guess?

historicity 

A penomenon of demonstration in which deconstructionism and therefore formalism can only represent linear time as moving backwards.

Also called "left-wing determinism."

Historicity is the obstacle the left must surmount in order to formalize free will.
