Waffenstillenstahentag (it's been years since I studied German, so I may have misspelled that). If I remember correctly, it is Armistice Day - literally, The Day the Weapons Stood Still.Quote:

It just rolls off your tongue. I SO want to name our next dog Vercingetorix, but it might be a little tough in obedience school! ;)
What does it mean?
Vercingetorix, d. 46 B.C., leader of the Gauls, a chieftain of the Arverni. He was the leader of the great revolt against the Romans in 52 B.C. Julius Caesar, upon hearing of the trouble, rushed to put it down. Vercingetorix was, however, an able leader and adopted the policy of retreating to heavy, natural fortifications and burning the Gallic towns to keep the Roman soldiers from living off the land. Caesar and his chief lieutenant Labienus lost in minor engagements, but when Vercingetorix shut himself up in Alesia and summoned all his Gallic allies to attack the besieging Romans, the true brilliance of Caesar appeared. He defeated the Gallic relieving force and took the fortress. Vercingetorix was captured and, after gracing Caesar's triumphal return to Rome, was put to death.

The guy was one of the first 'barbarians' to make the Romans sit up and take notice. But more importantly, he's got a COOL name!!!! It just sort of rolls off the tongue! (Much more cool than Caesar, too, if you ask me!)
Enunciate!
Brought to you by the morons who zoom past you in their cars, yelling stupid stuff out the window, but all we hear is "SJAODJKAAARRRGGGHHH"
Yes, I'm sure that you think the profanities that you are spewing out the window at the cyclist panting her way through interval training is hilarious...but if I'm going to join in the fun...ENUNCIATE! :)

Just seeing it written and what it implies...i like it.
quintessential - "the essence of a thing in its purest and most concentrated form" (www.m-w.com).
