I know what "perfidious" means, and is that a reference to DAOC? I don't really know. I used to play, but that was years ago.

This was a funny caption, which I had to google before understanding.

Apperantly "perfidious albion", meaning traitorous england, is how the french refered to them at some point in the past...

I don't know what perfidious means, but Albion was a pretty fun game back in 1995 or whenever it was released.

Wasn't it a term used to describe Judas? I'm supposing that it has something to do with betrayal.

i imagine it can be broken down to per+fidelity
So is it "with significant other" or "responsible"?

Yep, and I know where it came from.

What do I win?
Yeah, I know what it means but I can't seem to remember the references for it. Basically it means treacherous England and I've read that at least a couple of times somewhere, but cannot pinpoint the books. I've read a lot of historical fiction and I'm sure it's from one or two of these books.
