This is Real

The word "real" is a Spanish word. Real means "royal" in Spanish.

In times gone by, only royalty could own land. Anyone else living on land was considered a subject, peasant, peon, and worse.

This is why land is called real property (as opposed to personal property). Real property means royal property, only royalty could own it. Real estate means royal estate!

Now you know what is meant by the old adage "A man's home is his castle (kingdom)."

It truly is. Own your own home, you're a king (In your own home, of course).

Lunatic

The word lunatic is derived from the Latin word luna which means moon. A lunatic is a person who is affected in a negative way by the full moon. Remember the werewolves? Vampires?

Now you know where the legends come from. Historically, some people really do go berserk during a full moon.

Police crime statistics have shown that there is a spike in crime during full moon days. Just take note of the next full moon weekend.
