So I've been wondering if Thermidor was a reference to France and if so, why it would be Thermidor. It turns out that Thermidor was one of the months of the Napoleonic calendar! It comes, or so Wikipedia tells me, from the Greek word thermon which means "summer heat," and started in mid-July. It has also "come to mean a retreat from more radical goals and strategies during a revolution, especially when caused by a replacement of leading personalities," because a revolutionary radical once got overthrown in the month of Thermidor.
