Word: body count Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Coined by the U.S. military during the Vietnam War in the sense "number of killed enemy combatants", in 1962 according to Merriam-Webster. 1. The number of persons or bodies counted as casualties, especially fatalities, or victims. Example: Senator BYRD of West Virginia. Why do we minimize our losses as apparently we do? I find it extremely difficult to believe that there have been 6,200 VC and NVA killed by body count, whereas we have only lost 193 Americans and 335 ARVN troops. Example: Navy Lt. Cole Cowden, accused of indecent assault and conduct unbecoming an officer at the 1991 Tailhook convention, says he is the target of a quest for a 'body count' in the investigation and not because he did anything wrong at the annual convention of Naval aviators. 2. The number of people who have been killed by a given individual. 3. The total number of sexual partners of a given individual. Labels: slang Example: The numbers don’t matter. It’s not a body count, a scratch-pad list or a boast. Statistics obscure intent and meaning. My toll is therefore ambiguous. Girlfriends, wives, one-night stands, paid companions. Chaste early figures. A high-stat blitz later on. Quantity means shit in my case. Example: [He wants] sex even if he has the woman he wants, just to increase his body count. He strings you along just for the sex. Tell you what you wanna hear but never follow thru, heck! Some modern women go so far as paying his bills and car payments. 4. Used other than figuratively or idiomatically: see body, count. Example: ...based upon a February visit of GAO to Houston where they were not keeping statistics, the figure from GAO, as I was told yesterday, is that Houston has only 11 jobs for Vietnam veterans. No, they haven't kept a body count, but our estimate is far higher. Example: Mrs. Phillips, taking after Austen’s letters, tallies ducks by the couple, making effectively a body count—it’s three couple of ducks rather than six or a half dozen.

Labels: historical Example: Xenophon, it is true, ſays, word for word, in his account of the battle of Mantinea, that "Epaminondas formed an embolon of infantry, which which he advanced to ſhock the enemy, as one galley does another with its beak." […] In this paſſage, I cannot think the word embolon means any more than a vast ſquadron of great depth; and what ſhould hinder our underſtanding it, when ſpoken of infantry, in the ſame ſenſe? Example: Suddenly Alexander formed the left front of the phalanx into a wedge (embolon) and charged the Dardanians on the nearest slopes. 4. Anything wedge-shaped.
