hkaplan panician "I'll cast one for "panicians", since it
neatly derives from the ages-old French
occupation "panicien", and I quote
Larousse:"
"Celui qui travaille avec la conversion
des matieres farineuses en pain"
"or "breadmaker", loosely translated."
gerry panician (Trying to cast three votes for panician!)
"This is great--primary Latinate elegance
plus subsidiary French elegance. Plus
those modern English resonances
(bread=staff of life, bread rises,
bread=$ [slang], etc.) How can it miss?
I therefore cast *three* votes for
Panician: one each for the Latin, French,
and English derivations (I'm sure there
will be no objections to this--I'm sure
I speak for those silent hordes too busy
or shy to vote (my way) . . . ) :->"
tomb panician "I cast my vote at Panician."
max paniac "I hope someone counted my vote for paniac."
