There's a bakery/restaurant near my campus with decent coffee and overpriced, delicious pastries and breads called Le Pain Quotidien, which, of course is from the French meaning "daily beating." Reminds me of my childhood in the 1980's New York City school system.

Every time I see this word go by on the front page--which is kinda frequently--I start reciting the Lord's Prayer in Latin: "Pater noster, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum, adveniat regnum tuum, sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimite nobis debita nostra, et dimitimus debitoribus nostrus, et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo, Amen."

I have no idea if any of that is right (it's been quite a while). But "quotidian" definitely makes me recite the last part in my head. And then I get kinda mad because I don't really remember it that well. It's like an earworm, but you don't know all the words. Aaagh!
