peeriebryan Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Götterdämmerung • \gher-ter-DEM-uh-roong\ noun: a collapse (as of a society or regime) marked by catastrophic violence and disorder; broadly : downfall Example:Although we all hoped for a peaceful transfer of power, we feared the conflict would instead end in a chaotic Götterdämmerung. Did you know?Norse mythology specified that the destruction of the world would be preceded by a cataclysmic final battle between the good and evil gods, resulting in the heroic deaths of all the "good guys." The German word for this earth-shattering last battle was "Götterdämmerung." Literally, "Götterdämmerung" means "twilight of the gods." ("Götter" is the plural of "Gott," meaning "god," and "Dämmerung" means "twilight.") Figuratively, the term is extended to situations of world-altering destruction marked by extreme chaos and violence. In the 19th century, the German composer Richard Wagner brought attention to the word "Götterdämmerung" when he chose it as the title of the last opera of his cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen, and by the early 20th century, the word had entered English.

Njugle Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 sehnsucht. It sort of means longing. Fatima Whitbread I had to look that one up on google's dictionary- Sehnsucht: (German for wishfulness or longing) is Rammstein's second album. It was released in 1997.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sehnsucht_(album) A good word, plus a Rammstein Metal bonus! ps My name of the day: Harry Hay. There should be a song about him, because of his name asides from anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
