So what is timesnewroman? It's not the font, rather my take on the age we live in. The USA is the new Rome and the times we live in are timesnewroman.

Violent Cold Wind or Australian Aborigine Rite of Passage? 
We were having a coffee table discussion at work about motors, VeryGood has a Ford Focus, which Phedra claimed not to like the shape of. I remembered reading somewhere that the Focus was so called because the focus group established to decide the name couldn't come up with one. Phedra, who has been looking at motors for some time now with a view to purchase, following the demise of trusty rusty Escort, eventually has found a good deal on the above model. He decides to look up the dictionary to find out what it means. 2 of them together are obviously an island, however 1 on its own is either a "violent cold wind on the Adriatic" or an "Australian aboriginal rite of passage into adulthood." His colleagues suspect its the latter.
