Expanding Your Vocabulary

Samizdata’s Dale Amon offers “A suggestion for new terminology." I repost his suggestion, here, in its entirety.

"While reading some DOD press briefing transcripts tonight I was struck by the total dehumanization inherent in a person chosing to be a suicide bomber. At the instant they strap on the explosive belt or seat themselves in a car bomb they cease being a person. They become nothing but an expendable munition, bombs in a deceptively human form.

I suggest a new name for them: SPM’s.

Self Portable Munitions."
