Gimmick Entry《3》

Gimmick Name: Maryland-Officially [ @the-m-is-for-minor ]

Syllables: Mar•y•lan•d O•fic•ial•luly

Phonetics: Mare-ee-Lahn-duh Oh-fish-uhl-lee

Origin of Name:

The Name "Maryland" gets it's name from the wife of the English King Charles the 1st, Queen Henrietta Maria. King Charles the 1st granted a colonial charter to the Calvert Company in 1632 and named the land they he was giving a charter to "Terra Mariae" which translates into english as "Mary's Land." That was then shortened to Maryland to make one congruent word.

The word "Officially" originates from the Latin word "Officium", meaning duty, service, or office. Then, in late Latin it morphed into "Officialis", meaning "Attendant or Public Official", then into the Old French word Officiel, which finally transferred over to English to make the word official. Then the suffix "ly" was added to mean "an action carried out by an authority or by someone with the necessary authorization." The first recorded use of the word comes from around 1639.

Kind of Gimmick: Official

Gimmick Function: This gimmick blog functions as a parody representing the state of Maryland. They appreciate crabs and foster a slew of maryland-adjacent blogs.

Entry #12 - thegimmickblog

This blog has a mimic character which is supposedly the blogrunner, as such this blog has an unreality warning attatched.

Entry #2 - gimmickbloghunter

gimmickbloghunter, as the blog name suggests, hunts gimmick blogs. They respond to gimmick blog posts with "Gimmick blog detected.".

There is a gimmick blog hunter character which runs the blog, as such it comes with an unreality warning. This character is known to eat gimmick blogs. A few gimmick blogs have roleplayed with them, the main way of doing so being their askbox.

When the blog is unsure which blogs are gimmicks they will poll their audience to decide.

gimmickbloghunter's tags are in their pinned post, those all being fairly standard. -gimmick talks, a tag for original posts. -gimmick posts, a tag for reblogs of gimmick-related posts. -gimmick answers, a tag for asks. -gimmick and gimmick blog, a tag for reblogging gimmicks. -uncertain gimmick, a tag for blogs that might be a gimmick blog. -gimmick reblogs, a tag for reblogging posts.
