But I feel I'm letting these searchers down. So, here it is, straight from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary website.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
et al
One entry found for et al. Main Entry: et alFunction: abbreviation
Etymology: Latin et alii (masc.), et aliae (fem.), or et alia (neut.)
and others
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
See, no need to do something silly like look it up yourself at Merriam-Webster or even something really daft like grabbing a dictionary. All done for you.
So, my site title literally means "life, family, and others".
Cheers!

I thought that was obvious.....et al isn't an unused expression is it? oh no, again I've proven I'm not cool if that's the case :(

thank you for your service,
the leg work I mean
Referencing the blogger's site comment "as my being too lazy to grab a dictionary", right on! As far as being a lazy "bugger", I take indignant exception. However, in this day and age, I guess if I haven't tried it , I shouldn't knock it. Although I am still too lazy to grab a dictionary, a "bugger" I believe refers to one who enjoys intimacy with sheep. Cheers.
Anon ~ I never knew that. Hmmm. Considering the very thought makes me squeamish, the word "bugger" has been removed.
