    This is what I get for hanging out with folks more educated than myself.

    That's Greek for "unworthy, unworthy, unworthy."

    It's a pun based on what's said by the congregation at an ordination service in the Greek Orthodox Church to show their approval of the candidate's advancement. I guess Kevin is anticipating his own desired title.

    The correct way to address a Duke is to use the words "Your Grace".Just thought you might like to know,Your Grace.

    :Grace? For what we are about to receive......

    "anaxios" = Unworthy!

    Of course not. And the square foot of land you got with the title really is yours, too!

    I never get good titles from that generator.

    The Victorian S*X cry generator, however, is always fun.

    The Grand Duke is a comic operetta by Gilbert & Sullivan.

    But indeed it is a continental title, not British.

    Grand Duchies such as Luxembourg and Lichtenstein for example. In Tsarist days the children of the reigning Tsar were Grand Dukes or Duchesses.
