The Architect in the Matrix does say Vis-a-vis, as in "vis-a-vis, love".
And DeyBlade is right on the French, but even if he were wrong I probably wouldn't realize it as my French sucks, especially at 2:30 AM.

This is nice stuff to know. I've never really thought about what all those things stand for.
My favorite Latin expression is "sic", even though it can only be used to make other people seem un-smart, thus making you seem like a jerk for using it. "sic" is used when you quote someone, and it means "This is not a mistake I made while quoting; I am quoting a mistake the original speaker made". For example:
[qq=Meat Puppet]I always though it meant egzample [sic].[/qq]
I use it there to indicate the use of a word that doesn't exist. See, it makes me seem like a huge jerk, especially if I was engaged in a debate with someone; using it repeatedly would basically be a very subtle attack on the other person's intelligence / grammar skills.
c'est la vie: Such is life.
I've always wondered though. What does (sic) stand for, precisely?
Many thanks Christmas!

I believe it's similar to "thus"... You mean the "sic" used to denote an error in a quote, right?
