I suppose so. It's also the name of the poem by Max Ehrmann. The title is a Latin word, not Spanish but it had been long enough that I'd forgotten about it.

I don't know. While you're at it, see if you can find out what "Deus ex machina" would be in Latin.

Thanks, I goggled it and learned something new.

I don't know what sort of je ne sais quoi is going on in here.

Ha, I knew enough French to know that it means "I don't know what"

Pas du tout, mon petit chou.

The answer was written on the smokey and beer splashed walls of the Old North 'Berg and freshman were required to memorize and sing it each Friday about 3:


There once was a man named Eugene
who invented the Deus ex Machine.
Concave or convex
it could service each sex
but what a bastard to clean.

Singing aye yi yi yi,
in China they do it for chili.
So sing me another verse
that's worse than the other verse,
and waltz me around by my willie...
