I guess you are one of the lucky few then (as in the only one). I still to this day hear people say âHappy Memorial Dayâ. Since the day is about paying honor to those that have fallen, I think it is appropriate. But then again that is what the post is about, coming up with the right way to greet someone.
The definition of a philippic is a cruel attack of words. An example of a philippic is an angry protestor yelling harsh words at someone with an opposing view. Philippic. Philippic.
From the Greek name ÏÎ¹Î»Î¹ÏÏÎ¿Ï (Philippos) which means friend of horses, composed of the elements ÏÎ¹Î»Î¿Ï (philos) friend, lover and âÎ¹ÏÏÎ¿Ï (hippos) horse. This was the name of five kings of Macedon, including Philip II the father of Alexander the Great. The name appears in the New Testament belonging to two people who are regarded as saints. First, one of the twelve apostles, and second, an early figure in the Christian church known as Philip the Deacon. This name was initially more common among Eastern Christians, though it came to the West by the Middle Ages.
