Well, we might say that BP has reached a nadir in public relations, mightn't we?
Nadir is quite literally the opposite of zenith, another word we haven't really done here. Perhaps we can have a two-fer?
Nadir is from Arabic, as is zenith, and means "opposite to the zenith." Fancy that.

I just heard this word during a speech of the Prime Minister of Israel, and had to look it up.
I agree with Slava. Let's have a two-fer and do nadir and zenith, why not?
Not sure it's ever been done, Doc.
