>>"Pop" means "priest". So... you had a priest somewhere in your lineage.

>What? You mean Popov is 'Son of a priest'?
Literally, it means "priest's", it's a possesive adjective. You could say "priest's finger" - "popov prst". As a name, it's "priest's *" - where * is anything male.
>My grandparents came to Canada with the original Dukhobor immigration around the turn of the 20th century. According to what my dad tried to instill into my rearing, he felt that Dukhobor priests were not always the pick of the crop. So; I think you may have insulted me. I demand satisfaction. Scowls at 20 paces. Have your seconds contact mine (if you can find them).
My knowledge of that point in history is somewhat murky... can't even think what SpiritFight (duh - spirit, bor(iti se) - to fight) may have been for or against.
As for satisfaction - you can't seriously be thinking this is about sex?
