I could've used it this weekend an I had thought of it. Fred wouldn't have gotten it, probably. On the way, I found out that a sircar is a Hindu clerk or writer, or the Indian government. A sirdar is a chief or noble, a highly-ranked military officer, a head servant, or, in Egypt, formerly, the British commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Both come from Persian. Bring on the NPR and BBC quiz shows.
