    Where does "kaput" originate? Is this a European term?

    It's a pretty awesome video. I remember when I was younger, I had a very high opinion of Clyde but it has sort of faded a bit over the years. But looking at these clips were amazing. He had an awesome spin move, could do behind the back passes or keep the ball, and those one handed alley opp slams were just incredible. The Glyde was a good nickname because a lot of his dunks were very smooth. But he could really throw down some ferocious dunks too (especially when he was younger).

    Some curly-moustached guy here at work uses that when referring to the computers that cease to work: "That PC went 'caput'!"

    DARN IT. There is nothing literal in your post for me to de-reail this thread. :(
