46• The ______ (German; English: Overman, Overhuman,

It is through this association with Superman the hero that the term "____" carries much of its English sense implying irresistibility or invincibility. What word ?

The Barmy Army We all shagged Matilda [Parody of Waltzing Matilda]

When the sheep's ostensible owner arrives with three police officers to arrest the worker for the theft (a crime punishable by hanging), the worker commits suicide by drowning himself in the nearby watering hole, and then goes on to haunt the site.
