If you’ve ever seen anything army related, movie, book, you will know that we call the soldiers that operate on foot, infantry. This component of the army is the biggest, it has the most people in it too. Infantryman as they are called, the words meaning in Latin is non speaking, just like an infant who doesn’t reply back or refute back orders, soldiers were well trained to not answer back at a superior. Infantry also meant army ant in Latin, ants are the only other species than the humans to use army formations.
The word soldier comes from the word Solidus which meant a gold coin because it wasn’t cheap to raise an army of mercenaries.

Whenever we say something is a fiasco why does it mean it’s humiliating and a disaster. The word Fiasco is Italian in origin, it means a normal flask or bottle and comes from the opera. The audiences would greet a bad performance by shouting the slang “Ola Fiasco”. It was compared to a glass blower’s failed attempt at a stunning piece of art. Or it was dismissed as a common flask, the opera was a second hand event and a fiasco.
The fiasco is a Italian style wine bottle with a straw design bottom. The straw basket is normally made of swamp weed and Sala, its cleaned with sulfur. Fiasco was also called the receipt for red wine in old Italy.

The club is in the only French province of Canada, Quebec, in a time where the province was often despised by the others, the club owners decided to dedicate the club to the Quebecois people. Habs is an abbreviation for the french word “Habitants”, so The Habs basically translates into “Les Habitants“. It’s english equivalent would mean something like “those who live here“. The C.H in their jersey stands for “Club de Hockey Canadien”. The Canadians these days are a shadow of their former selves, they did win the first Stanley Cup before the NHL was actually formed… I say they’re a shadow of their selves because they have been eliminated in the first round of the play offs for the last 11 years consecutively.
Did you know that when the club was founded only french speaking players were allowed to play for the team. Later though with politically changes in the province and the country, players from all over the world were allowed into the team. This can be seen with large amount of Americans, Belorussians and Russians.
