Maybe I misspelled it.

Main Entry: ouroboros
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: a circular symbol of a snake or dragon devouring its tail, standing for infinity or wholeness; also written uroboros or Ouroboros
Etymology: 1940 Greek 'tail devourer'

Now, I meant it in a derrogatory way. Not as "wholeness" or simply "infinity" but as in the act of continually devouring ones self. Think of the imagery Raistlin associated with this in DragonLance Legends.
