  1. I just came across the family name Egal. In #German, #egal means whatever, #irrelevant.

    A: "What shall we put in the record as their family name?"
    B: "Ah, I dunno. Whatever".
    A writes "Whatever".

    Now, if two Egals were to compete directly in something, would that constitute #ComparativeIrrelevance ? #UmbertoEco (RIP) would have had something to say about that, I'm sure.
