- PythonicAlpha 11y agoThanks, did not know that "omnibus" had this meaning. In my language, "omnibus" is just an old fashioned word for "bus" (transportation) ;) -- translation services are also not all the time helpful.
- ThomPete 11y agoNot sure what language it is but omni is latin and a prefix. It means "all". Like omniscient (all knowing), omnipotent (all powerfull) etc...
- PythonicAlpha 11y agoBy asking, you can learn.
- ThomPete 11y agoIt wasn't meant derogative, sorry if it sounded like that :) Not all languages have the same base so it might as well mean something else that I didn't know in your language.
- PythonicAlpha 11y agoNo offence taken, but thanks!
