Hemingway took "For Whom The Bell Tolls" from "Meditation 17" of John Donne's (1572-1631) work Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions. The tolling of the bell refers to the act of ringing a bell (the death knell) at a funeral to indicate that someone has died. Hemingway is drawing a parallel between the death of one person and the consequent affect on everyone, and the loss of Spain to the fascists in the Spanish Civil War.

A title commitment is based upon a search of the public records. A preliminary title report issued by the Title Insurance Company tells a buyer several things about the property. It tells them what liens are on the property such as the seller’s current loan(s), state or IRS tax liens, or back property taxes. The prelim also notifies a buyer about any easements on the property. An easement is basically a right for someone else to use a portion of your land. See similar questions...

This means the title is a pre-book with no street date or final price (hence not final price). This means when a price is announced the price will be adjusted to suit. The final price you pay in this instance could be higher or lower than the advertised price. This gives you the option to pre-book a movie you have seen without having to wait for it to be announced.

Quentin Tarantino doesn't typically answer this question directly, saying that he likes it when people come up with their own definitions for the phrase. He has called it "more of a mood title than anything else." One popular and oft-told story about the origin of the title is that former video store employee Tarantino used to mangle the title of the French film Au revoir, les enfants, and his mispronounciation gave birth to the phrase Reservoir Dogs.

I love this novel -- which is hardly surprising. And the title is certainly one of the mysteries of the book, an open-ended question that everyone deserves a chance to work out on their own. However, since more than a few people write in to seek answers, I can point you to a pair of helpful resources. One is "Postscript to The Name of the Rose," a long essay written by Umberto Eco himself, discussing the book, its title, and his theory of titling novels as well. See similar questions...

The title "Urusei Yatsura" is a Japanese play on words. There isn't any English equivalent to this complex multi-leveled pun, so we must explain it in detail to understand it. The first word urusei is a mispronunciation or dialectic slurring of the Japanese word urusai which means "annoying," "noisy" or "obnoxious" yatsu is an informal way of saying "person" while -ra is simply one way of making a word plural.
