Well, AN-A, you could explain why you think spaten qualifies. As far as I can see, it's the name of a Munich brewery and of various beers produced there, and it's also German for spade, but it doesn't seem to be in any English dictionary, and in any case, it's always written with a capital S.

Am I missing something, or were you just ordering a drink?

As good as any excuse, it seems, for our Celtic drummer, eh?  >:D
