I read this post over breakfast. Then I headed to work, and walked by someone wearing a vintage Excalibur Casino t-shirt. There really is an Excalibur of everything.
Make of this what you will, but for the origin of the ""Ex", I recall that it was once attributed to a latinized take on the sword in the stone: "ex calce liberatus", or "freed from out of the stone". I read a lot (A LOT) of Arthurian stuff back in the day, so I don't recall the source for this.
