What Does It Mean?

Spain

/spayn/

proper noun

A country on the Iberian Peninsula that receives 85+ million tourists annually, runs on a schedule that considers 10 PM an appropriate dinner time, and has turned "taking a nap in the afternoon" into a nationally recognized cultural institution. Spain is where you go to eat ham that costs more per kilo than some electronics, drink wine that costs less than water, and wonder why you ever lived anywhere that doesn't have a siesta.

Origin: Possibly from Phoenician i-shpan-ya, "land of rabbits," or from Basque ezpaina, "border, edge." The idea that Spain — a country of flamenco, bullfighting, Gaudí, and some of the world's greatest cuisine — might be named after rabbits is the kind of etymology that makes linguists smile and Spanish people change the subject.

Usage: "Where are you going?" "Spain." "Which part?" "Who cares. We have a limo."

Limos

/LIM-ohz/

noun, plural

Short for limousines — elongated luxury vehicles that signal either "I am very wealthy," "I am going to prom," or "I am being driven to a wedding and the photographer needs everyone to arrive at the same time." In a tourism context: the premium alternative to a taxi, offering leather seats, climate control, a professional driver, and the temporary delusion that you are more important than you actually are.

Origin: From French limousine, originally referring to a type of cloak worn in the Limousin region of France. The car was named after the cloak because early chauffeurs sat outside (exposed to weather) while passengers sat inside (cloaked/protected). The metaphor of "the passenger is sheltered while someone else does the work" has defined limousine culture ever since.

Usage: "We need a limo in Spain." "For how many?" "Eight." "That's a party." "That's Tuesday."
