the word etcetera is so fucking awesome/disgusting
    #12612149 - 05/22/10 10:48 PM (13 years, 9 months ago)

The word etcetera, typically abbreviated "etc.", can be used as a placeholder for real knowledge in just about any discussion.

It's power lies in the fact that it creates the illusion that the one who speaks it actually had more to say than he did, but simply didn't have the time to say it.

The truth is that the one who speaks it actually spoke all he knew, then, after completing his exposition of knowledge, used the word etc. to create the illusion that he knew EVEN MORE

When it comes to the word etcetera, will you choose the path of chaos- employing it as a tool for manipulation for ego gratification- or will you choose the higher path of refusing to claim to know more than you really do?

The choice is yours.

European  monarchs, who sometimes have lengthy titles due to dynastic claims to territories accumulated over the centuries (and also as a matter of prestige), often shorten their full titles by concluding it with "et cetera"; even then the phrase would often be repeated in order to emphasize the monarchs' grandeur.

A prime example of this usage would be from Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, who traditionally began his proclamations with his shortened (but still long) title: "We, Nicholas II, By the Grace of God, Emperor and Autocrat of All the Russias, King of Poland, Grand Duke of Finland, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera".
