Don't worry, I would have had to ask what that was as well.
I am such a philistine.

Runs off to find out if Rachel just made up the word épée ( with acutes and everything ) ...

No.

The "acutes" are just me showing off that I finally remembered how to do type them. I used to teach fencing many years ago so I knew how to spell it...

Unless it's a children's ballet. Then you would most likely end up with Gary in the nonce wing.

I dated someone who did Renaissance fencing - that was proper mental big FO swords and major slashing did seem to happen fairly often.
