Alarmist - a person who needlessly alarms other people, i.e. most journalists working for the Daily Mail ... ;)))

Eras - very long timescales in the geological age of the earth. We are at present within the Holocene Epoch of the Quaternary Period of the Cenozoic Era, according to geologist's terminology. An enormous amount has happened during the 66 million years of the Cenozoic Era, the vast majority of it entirely outside our human influence, because we weren't even here, yet some folk doggedly persist in believing that climate change is definitely now "our fault" ... ^#(^

Ewe - a female sheep. But if they are affected by gender dysphoria, how could we tell? :-?

Stature - your standing height in metres, for Body Mass Index calculation purposes. Then your BMI is your weight in kilos divided by your height squared. If it's under 25 you're "normal", allegedly. So if you wear Cuban heels and a tall hat when measured, that should give a handy reserve to cover those stodgy but oh-so-tasty meals ... ;)))

Serviette - if you call it this, and even worse, tuck it into your upper clothing, then ridiculous food snobs are likely to call your behaviour "common". Apparently "posh" people call it a napkin, and place it graciously onto their lap. And if you blow your nose on it, then let's face it, you ARE common! :D

Motto - a short sentence or phrase that expresses a belief or ambition, often rendered in Latin. My school pinched a 2000 years old quotation from Virgil's Aeneid as its motto: "Olim Meminisse Juvabit" ("One day it will please us to remember"), and the splendid Royal Engineers chose the more succinct "Ubique" ("Everywhere"), which aptly covers their vital task of providing support services, wherever in the world our armed forces are dispatched. :YMAPPLAUSE:

Santiago Calatrava - a noteworthy modern structural engineer, architect, sculptor and painter, with a prolific record of achievements which have attracted both praise and a degree of criticism. Look at the images of his work in this link, many of which inspire a spontaneous "Wow!":-
