there's a word in french for the day after tomorrow, and also a word meaning "to take it up the ass."

however, what's the word for a snake attacking a frog? THAT intrigues me.

I think Rand defined it as "a battle between a snake and a frog." And, if I recall correctly, the copula is when the verb "to be" is used as the main verb of the sentence - though I could be wrong.

There are words in Japanese for the day before yesterday, the day after tomorrow, the week before last, the week after next, the month before last, the month after next, the year before last, and the year after next.
