cessant

This is the unseen root of the word incessant, which means not stopping. The root means stopped.

The teachers entering the class caused the noise to become cessant.

Elevation Cessation

The letdown experienced after standing in an elevator, doors almost closed, and someone activates the sensor in a last minute attempt to board by pressing the outside button or waving a hand between the doors.

I was in a full elevator and experienced Elevation Cessation when Harold did a mean karate chop between the doors, trying to board.

cessat ratione legis, cessat et ipsa lex

a) a Latin phrase meaning (original meaning): if the rationale behind a law fails, so should the law (i.e. it is potentially time to replace said law, since it may n o longer serve its intended purpose)

b) (my new and improved English translation of the phrase): a nicer way of saying " repeal and replace" old and possibly antiquated laws)

can cessat ratione legis, cessat et ipsa lex, definition b) be applied, or should it even be applied, to Obamacare?

cassantia

She is a girl. Smart to. She's different when you get to know her. She's funny, crazy, and weird, but is someone you would want to have around you at all time. She tries to make new friends, and you can trust her with anything. Close friends or just friends. You let her go then one day your going to regret it because you have no idea what could come your way. (We used to be so close she was the best but we let something get in our way don't let that happen to you to)

I've met someone her name is cassantia
