Word of the Day: Pyrrhic Victory
http://dictionary.reference.com/wordoftheday/.
It is funny. I noticed this on dictionary.com. The word of the day is Pyrrhic Victory. I only thought it was fitting to post here, because let us all acknowledge Pyrrhus today. * A moment of silence*, ok its over. Now the romans can conquer the world unopposed.

Re: Word of the Day: Pyrrhic Victory
but the problem of linking the word of the day as actually the word of the day (instead of to its normal link) is that the day eventually changes and thus so does the link and the word.
still it was a nice catch!
Re: Word of the Day: Pyrrhic Victory
Yes a nice catch indeed

Today's word -
beau ideal :A perfect or an idealized type or model
What a strange example:Their commentaries inspired generations of schoolboys to pen compositions in praise of the Spartan lad who flinched not as the fox gnawed his vitals, and shaped the American beau ideal of the "strong silent type."
I can imagine this in the upcoming '300'
"Damn that pesky Fox is gnawing my vitals again !!"

LOL, I thought this would give some people a chuckle, because I certainly did. Now a show of hands, who found that it gave them a chuckle.
