Dear CK: I did not need reminding of Felix the feline of the silent movies that cost ten cents. But I get lost when Brutus is looking for a cat to "felinate?" Caesar. "Fellate?" That kind of "et"? Too brutish.

Formica Formicae
Nominative Vocative
In my school (Hal's Deli) I was taught that the vocative of Formica was Formica.
And I think the barrel racer got my ASp's joke, not yours, CapK.
