Ostrogoth

A Germanic tribe that influenced the Roman empire. Their name means "shiny". The Ostrogoth empire waged war against the Huns and were defeated. After the fall of the Hunnic empire, the Ostrogoths were free to do as they pleased, which was apparently settling in the Roman empire.

The Ostrogoths are one of the two main tribes that originated from the Goths, the other being Visigoths.

outmoming

When two middle aged mothers state their children's great accomplishments back and forth, with each even greater than the last. Though the tones of voice become friendlier as the conversation goes on, inside both mothers have gaining hatred for one another.

Mom 1: Little Jimbob here won the school spelling bee last week.
Mom 2: Well, Tommy scored a 2400 on the SATs at age 3 and has just cured cancer.
Onlooker: Look at those women outmoming each other. How sad.
