La petite mort, French for "the little death", is a metaphor for orgasm. More widely, it can refer to the spiritual release that comes with orgasm, or a short period of melancholy or transcendence, as a result of the expenditure of the "life force".

He metaphorically used the concept to describe the feeling one should get when experiencing any great literature.

@TheUnhandledException Yeah, finally getting the repairs done from when that guy hit me a month ago.
As a bonus, part of the damage was in a place where there were existing scratches, so I get that taken care of effectively for free.
I guess that cancels out the time I had to spend making the insurance claim and going to the body shop and whatnot.
