So, why is it called "Easter" and not "Wester"? Or "Norther" or "Souther"? It must be those big Eastern syndicates - they control everything. Those Easterners think everything revolves around them, but as the late great Jim Morrison pointed out "The West is the best."

Nevertheless, Happy Easter to all just the same. :)

Because "Easter" was what was left after removing the leading "K".

A derivative of Eostre.

Happy Eostre and Easter to you too

Aye, the Revoltistanian word for chloaca....you know, the eggs & all.

I had to look that one up: Cloaca - Wikipedia

In animal anatomy, a cloaca /kloʊˈeɪkə/ kloh-AY-kə (plural cloacae /kloʊˈeɪsi/ kloh-AY-see or /kloʊˈeɪki/ kloh-AY-kee) is the posterior orifice that serves as the only opening for the digestive, reproductive, and urinary tracts (if present) of many vertebrate animals. All amphibians, reptiles, birds, and a few mammals (monotremes, tenrecs, golden moles, and marsupial moles) have this orifice, from which they excrete both urine and feces; this is in contrast to most placental mammals, which have two or three separate orifices for evacuation. Excretory openings with analogous purpose in some invertebrates are also sometimes referred to as cloacae. Mating through the cloaca is known as cloacal copulation, commonly referred to as cloacal kiss.
