This just occurred to me like three or four months ago, which I still find stupid that I never picked up before. I thought the TV show "Will and Grace" was just named after the main characters. But it also has a double meaning, whereby in order to make it in this world, you have to use your will, while maintaining your grace. Did anyone else totally miss out on this ?
