    What is the phrase used to refer to somebody's "best year" or "most productive year", used of artistes, sportspersons, etc? I think it's either French or Latin. Thanks, Johann.

    I love go-o-o-o-ld!

      Annus mirabilis[^] is what you are after, with its antithesis annus horribilis[^]

            So long as you do not confuse it with Anus Profundus.
