If it's really big and juicy it would be the old fat Rush of the early 90s. If it's small, then it's the post-diet Rush of the late 90s. And eventually, if it doesn't go away, you'll need to go to the doctor and get massive amounts of drugs to put on it. Then it will be today's junkie Rush. Have I covered it?

Thanks for the testing space.

Yay! All font size units work!

This is Latin, right?
What does it mean and why is it used to test fonts and stuff?

Just curious.
