the Vicks


chirps' names and banging doors

En règles générales, plus les noms sont longs et à rallonge, plus ce sont des noms de nobles et plus les noms sont courts et ressemblent à des sifflements d'oiseaux ou des bruits qu'on fait avec la bouche et les mains, plus les gens auxquels ces noms se rapportent sont de peu d'importance...


In generale, più i cognomi sono lunghi e contorte, più sono cognomi di nobili; e più i cognomi sono brevi e somigliano a fischi d'uccelli, più sono cognomi di gente di poca importanza...

Generally speaking, the longer and more drawn-out the names are, the more likely they are names of nobles; and the shorter the names are, resembling bird whistles or noises made with the mouth and hands, the more likely they are names of people of little importance.

An interesting observation, Albert. I, of the short name, am of no importance, except, perhaps, to a few well chosen friends, and, perhaps, even, to my children.

Oh, and to the Internal Revenue Service. Definitely.
