Wasted Life and its fruits

Ah, watching reruns of Who Wants to be a Millionaire on GSN last week. One man had made it to 250K and was asked what esperanto meant in esperanto. He still had two lifelines, called a friend, and took the 50/50. He didn't want to answer... I guess it proves that the easiest way to stump an American is to ask him a question about a foreign language.

Ironically, esperanto was designed to almost be intuitive to European language speakers. Esperanto itself means "hoper".
