Re: Were the Germans physically superior? - M. Demetrius - 12-25-2012
We're drifting, but very specifically, the word vagina in Latin means "sheath" in English. Not sure whether the anatomical or swordish definition came first, but it makes sense that the gladius would likewise have a double meaning. We could get in real trouble here.
:wink:
We'd probably be wise to shift back to discussions of Suebian knots, etc.
