(thing) by hoopy_frood (1.2 y) (print) ? (I like it!) Sat Nov 13 1999 at 14:20:29

The name of the 1988 R.E.M. anthology which features the hits The One I Love and It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine), among others.

See the clever bit is that eponymous means to give your name to something. It's like naming your album The Self-Titled Album.

That after which something is named. Eg: "In The Maltese Falcon, the eponymous statue is sought by all the players"
