Amort is the most common theme of European literature, from Tristan and Isolde to The Ballad of Reading Gaol:
And all men kill the thing they love,
By all let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word,
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!

Some with a flattering word,
The coward does it with a kiss,

Simply translated as "My cello of death", Mon Cello Morte refers to an anal gas leak characterised by a long, deep resonation with a slight rising pitch and garnished with a violent odour. The term initially derives from the uncanny resemblence to the sound of a cello being played slowly and with a single, deep note see Mon Cello. "Mon Cello Morte", however, may only be applied to a gas leak as described above, coupled with an extraordinary smell that invokes the involuntary reaction of vomiting.
"Oh My God! What was that noise?"
"That, my friend was Mon Cello."
"Urgh"
Friend vomits
"Sorry - that, my friend, was Mon Cello Morte"
"Somebody light a match!"
"That, my friend was Mon Cello."
"Urgh"
Friend vomits
"Sorry - that, my friend, was Mon Cello Morte"
"Somebody light a match!"

French phrase literally meaning "the little death". In popular culture it means having a sleep after sex or orgasm. Popular song "I just Died in Your Arms" by English band Cutting Crew was about it.
Oh, I just had la petite mort tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Whoa, whoa
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Whoa, whoa

No, I don’t mean mort like dead…I mean Mort from Madagascar. National Mort day is every day of the year, but it celebrated on November 16 because why not. Go show Mort some respect and give this a thumbs up.
Carol: Hey Susan do you remember what day it is today?
Susan: Is it your birthday??
Carol: No!! It’s National Mort Day!!
Susan: Oh silly me, I forgot!
Susan: Is it your birthday??
Carol: No!! It’s National Mort Day!!
Susan: Oh silly me, I forgot!

Where most people are attracted to the same sex. A lot of history involved with this little community. The dangerous seas and Rocky shores were no match for the retired chain gang. Would highly recommend visiting here if on the southwest coast of NL. You will feel at home.
