Maybe this is an American thing, but most anyone fluent in a language even remotely
connected to the germanic bransch wouldn't need to learn what zeitgeist means
because it would have read clear as day anyhow. Ok maybe Im exaggerating, but thats basically true.

It's not a "big word".

I mean, if the album was called "time ghost" or "time spirit", would you seriously
have a problem understaning what it means? Would you characterize the word in itself as some grand concept? No.

Flying of the handle upon hearing the word "zeitgeist" is like going dizzy over the word
"freedom" or well, perhaps even "ponies!1".

I admire your your disorder, though.
