You had me there for a moment, because spotting a 'double meaning" (actually triple) my mind succumbing to dissonance, refused to translate (into English), instead latching onto the last two syllables:- At one time, tech-jargon included the term "abend". It meant "abnormal end", and was a more palatable term (to someone) for "crash" - a bit like the airline which talked of "non-operational termination" instead of using the same (unpalatable) word! Yes, not only might it have been literally the end of (your) day. This conversation does seem to have reached the point of reductio ad absurdum! -- Regards =dn -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
