OK, I couldn't resist, could "C" mean "Canna"?

As in Scotty saying I "canna" fix the engines in time, Cap'n, to get us to Warp 9 before the Klingons are within firing range.

I thought you meant, as in,"Canna getta witness?"!

Bis is pronounced "bees". I guess Seabeescuit would be a horse running at the Tijuana Derby?

NOS is not specific for Rickenbacker.
John, sorry for being so slow: What is the meaning of the word "bis"? Is it french?

Posted: **Wed Feb 21, 2007 7:22 am**

Maybe down Santa Ana way, but dictionaries show it to be a short i, and the Merriam-Webster on-line dictionary has an audio example:

Lars, the meaning is second (version), again, or repeat (especially in music)

well... a bis would be a saluting kiss on the cheek in France, from what I recall last time there. can't think of anything else...

I thought "bis" was German, meaning "to"...

Posted: **Wed Feb 21, 2007 11:24 am**

It's Latin for "again", "encore". In the modern era, it's from the French and used to mean "second revision" in an engineering context. I wonder what the term for third revision might be.

I'm guessing that the old BMW Bavaria Cii might have been designated that way for the same reasons.

Nicolas, isn't that kiss a "buss"?
