Beware the Ides of March. I've heard this saying every year but have never figured out what it meant.
What's an Ide?

Interesting. I didn't know if it meant something ominous. So it's really just the middle of a month.

More specifically, it originally referred to the first full moon of the month but was narrowed down on the middle of the month.

As Xenomorph noted, the warning to beware the Ides of March became a famous expression because Caesar was warned about the day(s) and ignored the warning and then was assassinated by a group of "friends."
I think Caesar's wife had visited a soothsayer and received the warning from her and in turn passed it on to him. According to some the expression "stabbed in the back" is linked to Caesar's murder as well.

Wouldn't have it in me, I shy away from Brute force.
Please also note that my latin name is "holloderus", why you must use "hollodere" when addressing me in Latin. Vocative.
