Griffin McElroy: When someone leaves your life, those exits are not made equal. Some are beautiful and poetic and satisfying. Others are abrupt and unfair. But most are just unremarkable, unintentional, clumsy. Also Griffin McElroy: When I am coach... Guys, when I am coa-... Guys, when I am co-... Hey guys, when I am coach, not there yet, slow your whistle down. When I am coach... when I am coach of team...

Power in Latin is actually imperium, which I think is actually a way cooler name than Vox anyway Vox means “the voice” apparently Lighting in Latin is Fulgur

[@target0330]

i thought power in latin was potestas. i guess that's more like ability?

[@zanderrose]

target03 “ability” would make sense. looks like a cognate of the word potency

[@target0330]

@@zanderrose minor bit of pedantry here: potency (and potential, and potent) come from potens (gen. potentis), which is the present active participle of possum/posse, a verb that means "i am able"/"to be able" in the respective conjugations. wiktionary says possum and potestas both come from the adjective potis. potency isn't directly connected to potestas. anyway i don't like "imperium" for power because it means power in a more political sense, or just means "empire" most of the time, neither of which is useful for athletes. potestas has some similar connotations, though... what do you think about potentia? it might be the best for sports drink purposes

Vox means voice. I think that person was thinking of Virtus, which means strength or courage. Fun fact about virtus is that since the root of the word is vir which means man, it is sometimes used as a word for manliness, yet virtus happens to be a feminine noun. Most intangible nouns are feminine, but it truly is ironic that the word for manliness is feminine
