"When society comes under great stress, words lose their meaning." --Thucydides
"More than twenty years ago, I stood packed in at the back of [the London Institute of Contemporary Arts], listening to a lecture by Arthur Koestler. He propounded the thesis that language, not territory, was the prime cause of aggression, because once language reached the level of sophistication at which it could express abstract concepts, it acquired the power of totemization; and once peoples had erected totems, they would go to war to defend them..." --Salman Rushdie

I call passed pawns "rabbits". My contribution to chess slang. Also, the two-threat strategy dovetails nicely with a Zen saying: "You can't chase two rabbits at the same time."
