The original kabbes was not a literary character; it is an mild expression of disgust in the Luxembourgese dialect that literally means "cabbage".

No, I was merely going to object to your egregious claim on some highbrow magazine for your namesake, when we are all quite aware of who "Picard" actually refers to.

Really? That would explain why you look nothing like a goth then :D

Have you got the merchandising rights secured? My girls might like a range of plastic horsies with garbage accessories, and if they can be made in China with no pesky royalties then I'm laughing.
 
Awesome. This thread inspired me to Google "kabbes", and I found out that Emily Kabbes is actually a moderately well known volleyball player.

I also found this: http://www.kabbesengineering.com/

The seventh Google entry, however, is my own long-forgotten and abandoned LiveJournal, so I don't think it is that popular a word.
 
tons of them:

Bilbo
Bilbo Baggins
gollum
gandalf

Arthur Dent

It means something like (honorific-diminutive) Tails dunnit?

But knowing Shippous 'predilictions', ain't no way I am googling it from a works laptop.
 
I'm a John Fowles novel called the Magus about an old man called Conchis who lives alone on a Grecian Island surrounded by incredible works of art. He spends his time creating an alternate reality for a teacher who arrives on the island. It becomes very surreal. Amazingly fantastic book. Anyone read it?

I liked it a lot, although the only Fowles that I repeatedly re-read is The Collector, which no-one thinks of as his best.
