| Jan 25, 2012 at 17:10 | comment | added | Mitch | OK, but for such a neologism, can you give any content details about what an 'isme' based on Vercingetorix would be? When someone says, 'That guy is somehwat naapoleonic' I can guess that they men the person has an inferiority complex or is bent on conquest beyond their means. What does 'vercingetorisme' lead you to think? | |
