Sarissa (with butt-spike)

A "sarissa" was an 18-ft. long spear used by the Macedonian main infantry unit the "pezhetairoi." It was an advantageous weapon because most other armies at the time utilized a spear half as long as the sarissa. It was this weapon that made it possible to end the era of the Greek "hoplite" warfare. The sarissa had a single iron tip and an iron "butt-spike." The butt-spike would be jammed into the ground at an angle when defending to keep attackers at bay and to provide extra stopping power. The butt-spike also had a practical offensive purpose as well: if the sarissa broke on the battlefield, it did not just become a stick but, rather, two spears. Also, when marching, the butt-spike came in handy to finish-off downed enemies without having to turn the sarissa completely around.

"Boy I'm glad that my sarissa (with butt-spike) is longer than their hoplite spear! Otherwise I'd have had to work to keep those Greek bastards at bay!"
-Macedonian pezhetairoi quoted at the battle of Chaeronea (338 B.C.)

je ne sais quoi

To have a certain je ne sais quoi, is to be effortlessly cool or chic without trying. It is a quality of elegance of movement and purpose, most effective and yet without apparent or visible effort, applied to any line of thought or activity. The quality makes itself visible through fashion, in the workings of one's profession, in the give-and-take of social relation, or through personal mannerisms. This quality implies lack of studied perfection - and in fact, pretense is by definition its opposite. The term 'je ne sais quoi' often refers to unstudied elegance of habit or dress, or the way in which clothing or hair naturally falls. An example from film is Johnny Depp's portrayal of Jack Sparrow - his dress, his movements, his manner of speech, combining imperfection and elegance - a certain je ne sais quoi unique to his character.a

Sassafras

Slang for Methylenedioxyamphetamine or MDA, a psychedelic stimulant that can be classified as both a phenethylamine and an amphetamine. This term is popular among fans of jam bands and probably originated somewhere within the psychedelic music scene. The term is also used to distinguish powdered MDA from powdered MDMA, often referred to as "molly."

Head A: I ran into some righteous Sassafras at Rothbury, the campgrounds were full of it!

Head B: Heady.
