Title: Spacey Surrenders (Paul Newman too)

Latin phrases you pretend to understand (http://www.cnn.com/2007/LIVING/personal/08/31/latin.words/index.html)   ;)

Who knew?

E Pluribus Unum

But the term made its first appearance in Virgil's poem "Moretum" to describe salad dressing. The ingredients, he wrote, would surrender their individual aesthetic when mixed with others to form one unique, homogenous, harmonious, and tasty concoction.

Sui Generis:(SOO-ee JEN-er-is): "Of its own genus," or "Unique and unable to classify"

Frank Zappa, the VW Beetle, cheese in a can, that feeling you get when the Red Sox win the World Series: Sui generis refers to something that's so new, so bizarre, or so rare that it defies categorization.

Granted, labeling something "sui generis" is really just classifying the unclassifiable. But let's not over-think it. Use it at a dinner party to describe Andy Kaufman, and you impress your friends. Use it too often, and you just sound pretentious.

How many of the celebrities did you recognize?

I just glanced at it today at work.  The only one that jumped out at me was Hart to Hart, sitting next to the one dude from Simon and Simon

I can say from experience that when you're dining with a perfectly lovely companion of the opposite ****, you've chosen Indian, and the flat bread is stale and tough, bypassing the brain and remarking that it is "persona naan grata" utterly fails to create a romantic moment.

And, two months later, "persona non Grappa" elicits no more positive response.
