The Latin phrase "incidit in scyllam, cupiens vitare charybdim" comes from Greek mythology in the story of Odysseus known also as Ulysses. Scylla and Charybdis were rocks on either side of a narrow inlet. The phrase means trying to avoid Charybdis one founders on Scylla. It represents the idea of having to choose between two evils and has the force of being "on the horns of a dilemma," "between the devil and the deep blue sea."

Charmy Bee

Charmy is a six year old hyper bee from Team Chaotix and only insect in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Not really the smartest or the most determined member of Chaotix Detective Agency, but is super strong. Where else can you find an insect that can lift a chameleon AND a crocodile.

Charbonneau

Pronounced shar-bun-oh. Eleven letters. Confusing to telemarketers and people who have no brain stems. Spelled incorrectly 99.9% of the time. Awesome, French Canadian, and a little bit sexy.
Telemarketer who was quite obviously a tad bit ghetto: Hi, is Karen... Char... Shar... Chair-bone-oh... Shar-bone-yo... um... it sounds like a type of wine... is she there?
Karen: ...what?

Guy 1: My name is James Charbonneau.
Guy 2: And how do you spell that?
Guy 1: J-a-m-e-s C-h-a-r-b-o-n-n-e-a-u.
Guy 2: Okay, C-h-a-r-b-o-n-e-a-u?
Guy 1: No, there are two N's. It's C-h-a-r-b-o-n-n-e-a-u.
Guy 2: That's not what you said.
Guy 1: Yes I did.
Guy 2: Okay, so it's S-h-a-r-b-o-n-n-e-a-u?
Guy 1: GODDAMN IT!
