I remember working on a Jasper report once where I had a bunch of column subtotals and a total of all of them. Total, total, total total...

Suddenly I locked up and was like "WTF is a total?" The word still sounds strange to me sometimes.

I seem to recall getting that feeling looking at a box of the cereal called Total.
