Meanings

  1. (alt-of, alternative) Alternative form of nine-day wonder.
    • So far as we're concerned, the ashes of Endymion can stay buried for another two hundred years—or another two million. It doesn't matter; come the day when somebody stumbles over the tombstones, they'll just be an archaeological find: a nine day wonder. By then, we'll be out among the stars. Earth will be just our cradle. 1993 December, Brian Stableford, “The Cure for Love”, in The Cure for Love and Other Tales of the Biotech Revolution, [Rockville, Md.]: Borgo Press, published 2007, →ISBN, page 40:
