    That's Greek for "unworthy, unworthy, unworthy."

    It's a pun based on what's said by the congregation at an ordination service in the Greek Orthodox Church to show their approval of the candidate's advancement. I guess Kevin is anticipating his own desired title.

    Indeed, it was such a pun! It was, however, in response to this:

    Hopefully, I won't hear any of that on ordination day (when it comes around - God and the bishop willing)!

    Hey, I tried that site, and came up with:

    The Right Reverend Dom Galician the Fiendish of Giggleswick under Table

    Ask some members of my community, and that's me to a T.

    The smell of some strains of the elder, particularly in warm weather, is not unlike that of a considerable number of incontinent cats....

    The Grand Duke is a comic operetta by Gilbert & Sullivan.

    But indeed it is a continental title, not British.

    Grand Duchies such as Luxembourg and Lichtenstein for example. In Tsarist days the children of the reigning Tsar were Grand Dukes or Duchesses.
