Thanks, did not know that "omnibus" had this meaning. In my language, "omnibus" is just an old fashioned word for "bus" (transportation) ;) -- translation services are also not all the time helpful.

Not sure what language it is but omni is latin and a prefix. It means "all".

Like omniscient (all knowing), omnipotent (all powerfull) etc...

By asking, you can learn.

It wasn't meant derogative, sorry if it sounded like that :)

Not all languages have the same base so it might as well mean something else that I didn't know in your language.

No offence taken, but thanks!
