Did you say the world is coming to an end? Shouldn't we all lie on the floor or put paper bags over our heads?

Is that your idea of enjoying your last minutes on earth, WildRose? What would CropGuru say?

I thought Pedant would step in here, but it looks like I'm going to have to.

The French for stop is "Arrete," or "Arretez" if you're using the polite form.

 "Arete" is Greek for "that which makes a man [person, we'd say] outstanding in his [hus] own time."

Make of this what you will. Have a beignet.
