Monty Python got some good alliterative mileage out of that term in their movie “And Now For Something Completely Different.” One sequence in the movie is a fake WWII British newsreel, in black and white, with suitably bombastic narration that includes the opening line “Yes, the war against the Hun continues – and as Britian’s brave boys battle against the Boche…” By the standards of genuine WWII newsreels, that’s actually not as over-the-top as it sounds to modern ears. And during a real WWII deception operation, the fake letter from General Nye to General Alexander which was the centrepiece of the “Mincemeat” disinformation scheme used such phrases as “We have had recent information that the Boche have been reinforcing and strengthening their defences in Greece and Crete…”
What do your names mean?

Well mine is quite ordinary, its just a name so it doesn’t mean much.
But “Daniel” means something in Hebrew like “God is my Judge” I think,
“Malus” is more fun, i haven’t meet it many places but I’ve encountered some meanings,
first of its some kind of tree, to my best knowledge.
Malus is also an item in Diablo 2 I think its a great hammer or something i can’t really remember.
The most wicked part is the Latin translation were it means something like sickness or rotten
How punk is that?? :evil: -
