My dad took us (I and my sister) on train trips. I remember in the
dining car being asked if I wanted a Continental Breakfast. My kid's
mind imagined a breakfast feast, with eggs and sausage or bacon.

Bleh, it was a pastry.  :-(

Similar with my mother. She asked if I wanted a "pine float". I
imagined a nice soda with ice cream and whipped cream.... It
was a toothpick floating on a glass of water. She cackled.

Grepping for FLT_MAX, partial list:

    /usr/include/values.h:#define   MAXFLOAT    FLT_MAX
    /usr/include/values.h:#define   FMAXEXP     FLT_MAX_EXP

Now look for defines of FLT_MAX.
