Ecclestone

An ancient Welsh warrior lauded for his prowess in battle as well as his thirst for Irish whiskey and English maidens, and renowned for clog-dancing on the bodies of his dead enemies while reciting poetry.

Has been adapted in the modern vernacular to mean performing feats of manly strength and/or coordination with style while highly intoxicated (dancing, brawling, etc) and then going on to enjoy the spoils of victory (ex. getting laid for said feats).

Pulled a full ecclestone this weekend; drank eight shots of jameson, beat up a bouncer that tried to stop me from jigging on the bar and then got laid by the cocktail waitress. Charges pending.

Ecclesiastes

A book in the Bible written by a philosopher who could not understand God's plan. Trapped in his own thoughts he came to the conclusion that life is useless and what we do is useless. "Generations come and go but the world stays the same. The sun still rises in the east, and sets in the west. All the rivers flow to the sea, only to be swept up and start the dreary process all over again. It is useless I say useless." - Ecclesiastes.

Ecclesiastes was a pessimist who had everything he ever wanted but still felt depressed and useless.

Ecce Romani

A series of introductory classical Latin textbooks for middle or high school level. Features humorous (whether intentionally or not) readings about the adventures of the family of Gaius Cornelius, a Roman senator, at the beginning of the first century A.D. Other characters include: Aurelia, Cornelius's wife; Marcus and Cornelia, their son and daughter; Sextus, a troublesome boy who is living with the family; Davus, the overseer of the family's country estate; Flavia, Cornelia's best friend; Eucleides the Greek tutor; Geta, a runaway slave; Valerius, Cornelia's husband 15 years her senior, and Uncle Titus, the worst arbiter bibendi of all time.

Literally translated, "Ecce Romani" means, "Look! Romans!"

"Where'd you get those Latin skills?"
"Ecce Romani, word!"

"Oh, man! Our carriage has been stuck in a ditch for nine days! This is an Ecce Romani-esque scenario."

eccentration

as a compliment of concentration. in eccentration, one uses the peripheral vision as a " focal field ". the eccentrationist or eccentrator gazes into the distance with no fixed-point on which to focus. as such, he / she becomes aware of everything happening in the periphery and can use infinitum as the distraction...as a compliment to contraction.

many people choose to exercise / stretch in front of a mirror. this allows the practitioner to " focus " on their reflection and make judgements and corrections based on their evaluation. if we choose to gaze into the distance ( eccentration, be it 10 feet or 10 miles ) and NOT focus, we have only our periphery to shape our field of vision. and we have only our proprioception to gauge our alignment / progress. some yogic traditions hold that attachment to forms / things is the source of suffering. forms and things become indescernable when we " eccentrate ".
