Synthetic car names
Published (2009-11-09 12:31:00)
Sienna and such are actual european place names. One article i saw mentioned that Japanese sensibilities were very different from North America or Europe. Some cars there called "Prince" and "Bluebird" which probably sounded cool to the Japanese, but wouldn't go over well here. Probably the same way things Spanish-Italian-latinish probably sound a lot more cool to English ears than they do to those...

And it's not like toilet isn't also euphemism. You guy took it...

Jury Nullification

From MD2000 Quote: The major benefit is that most trials in europe are much shorter and simpler than in North America. Oh? How long has that Amanda Knox abortion been going on down in sunny Italy?

Jury Nullification
Published (2009-11-05 16:30:00)
In the bad (worse?) old days of chronic Italian political turmoil, the joke went that two parliamentarians were sitting in the legislative chamber in Rome, bored out of their minds as a debate droned on around them. One said to the other, "I think I'll take a little nap." A few hours later he woke up and whispered to his seatmate, "Did I miss anything?" "No, not really," the other guy...

Why did Lazarus have to die again?

Are you sure he says...

Synthetic car names
Published (2009-11-06 11:28:00)
Regarding the name 'ciera' and its variants, Ford had a car model in the UK (where I live) which was named the Sierra. So much for originality - as noted in the original report. 2nd point - I believe that one of the other motives behind coming up with synthetic names was to avoid using words that are either foolish or vulgar in some foreign language. I have heard various tales (possibly apocryphal) of manufacturers going seriously...

Why did Lazarus have to die again?
Published (2009-11-07 19:30:00)
That's the point I tried to make some time ago. Paul's subject seems to veer between Jesus' Resurrection and the General Resurrection, and sometimes it's hard to tell what he means. But he does agree with Jesus' teaching that the General Resurrection involves something different from Lazarus', something that it seems we're not altogether prepared to comprehend. And that, ultimately, is why Lazarus had to die...

For what it's worth, this appears to be a comment on Bricker 's Staff Report on jury nullification . (Marcus, it's the board's custom to link to what article you're commenting on; since you weren't aware of that, I filled it in for you.)

Interesting staff report. Alan Weisman talks about the huge Pacific Ocean debris field in his very good book, The World Without Us : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World_Without_Us
I wonder if there couldn't be an internationally-funded garbage-scooping project someday. I suppose the recycling option wouldn't be cost-effective.

Yeah, sorry that I couldn't cover all the euphemisms -- there are zillions of 'em. I'd never encountered "calling Ralph" so I din't include it.

It could, but the Online Etymological Dictionary says:
Quote:
English (2)
"spin imparted to a ball" (as in billiards), 1860, from Fr. anglé "angled," which is similar to Anglais "English."

The column is In the Elton John song "Levon," who is Alvin Tostig?
But, how does Northumbria include Lincolnshire, when Lincolnshire is south of the River Humber?

I'd also think that it would be odd for a nautical term to have originated in a landlocked country, but stranger things have happened.

You may of course continue to question and dispute what you see as ill-founded posts or ideas, but in this forum let's pretend to be reasonably polite to each other. Thus avoid in this forum the use of "fighting words" (including but not limited to "moronic," "crap," and "stupid") when directed against thoughts and beliefs that SDMB posters have previously expressed in the same thread, or ...
