Why this word is great
QALLUNAAT — [Noun] An Inuktitut term for Europeans, or for non-Inuit people considered as a collective group. Borrowed from Inuktitut ᖃᓪᓗᓈᑦ (qallunaat), literally meaning 'outstanding eyebrows' or 'people with big eyebrows.' Unlike 'Kabloona,' which carries the particular scent of blubber and the rust of 19th-century trade goods, or the blandly geographical 'Southerners,' Qallunaat is a precise, anthropological observation turned into a collective noun. It is the collective rustle of woolen coats, the pale arch of a brow over a sun-squinted eye, and the silhouette of a ship on the horizon—not as a vessel of discovery, but as the arriving edge of an alien world, named for the most immediate feature of its unfamiliar face.
