gatter
A historic weapon that was mounted upon ships in the mid 18th century. Used commonly by pirates and even the British Navy at one point, in an effort to counter the pirates advanced weaponry. The "Gatter" is a canon designed to shoot wooden-barrels that would shatter upon contact, sending wood shrapnel speeding in all directions. The barrels were filled with turtles. The purpose of the turtles was to make the ground on the ships near impossible to walk on, however, the turtles shot everywhere much like the wood shards did.

Gotterdammerung
Götterdämmerung (Twilight of the Gods), is the last in Richard Wagner's cycle of four music dramas titled Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung).
The title is a translation into German of the Old Norse phrase Ragnarök, which in Norse mythology refers to a prophesied war among various beings and gods that ultimately results in the burning, immersion in water, and renewal of the world. However, as with the rest of the Ring, Wagner's account diverges significantly from his Old Norse sources.
A rare term, used to mean the end of something, significantly.
