"My main objection to the entire financial discussion is the word 'Grexit'. 'Exit' is Latin. It should be 'Grexodus'." -- johanevj, comment, 2015-07-28 [thanks to [info] realinterrobang for quoting this earlier]

That's etymologically fine, because "Greece" is Latin.

Putting together the Greek gets me "Hellexodus" or maybe "Ellexodus" which will sound to a lot of Americans like "Spanish exodus" or maybe "fleeing by train."
