Get the French Rag mug.(n.) A person, usually male between the ages of 25 and 50 (but often over 50) who believes the government is out to get him. Constantly complains, whines and makes false and slanderous comments about politicians, owns several firearms, and vehemently anti-nazi, and will blindly follow any cause to the death, unaware of the eventual consequences of thier cause prevailing (which they know it never will). Believes that thier lack of education and hatred for 'the rich' and 'the authorities' is compensated by thier age, experience, stubborn beliefs, "common sense", ignorance of past statistics (though they often manipulate facts and figures to suit thier cause) and the fact that they can convince children of thier beliefs. Schooled in any arguement by even teenagers who actually know what they are talking about, and are learnéd in the matter. When beaten in a debate by a much younger person, they will claim that the person has been 'reading too many magazine that are full of what THEY want you to hear', which basically means you are smarter than they are, but they will claim everything you said is a lie because you have attained it from an unreliable source.
The name is a reference to the fact they will claim to have practical experience, but it always seems to be so long ago (giving them an excuse for getting facts wrong).
Usually from a working class background, and often located in the north of england (although many still from the united states), and generally in the upper qaurtile of the age range. Adored by pseudo-intellectuals and poser anarchists alike. Likely to either be very athiest, or deeply christian. Openly homophobic or homosexual.

Get the hospital mug.A Pyrrhic victory is a victory which is only achieved with heavy losses on one's own side.
This alludes to the Battle of Ausculum (Ascoli Satriano, in Apulia). in 279 BCE, when the Epirote King Pyrrhus, aiding the Tarentines, defeated the Romans but with severe casualties of his own. After the battle, Pyrrhus is recorded to have commented: "If we win another such battle against the Romans, we will be completely lost" (Plutarch, Pyrrhus 21,14).

The world wars could be loosely considered Pyrrhic victories.
The best example of a pyrrhic victory is in the anglo-zulu war, in which Ntshingwayo Khoza set 22,000 zulu warriors, about 55% of the male population of zululands to attack 1,400 British soldiers in a surprise attack at the Battle of Isandlwana.
Although less than 100 soldiers escaped survived, 4000 zulus, about 10% of the entire male population were lost or substantially wounded in defeating a poorly maintained and inexperienced third of the army in the area. To make matters worse for king Cetshwayo, later that day a force of 5000 zulus took on a hospital with 142 men in it, including all ranks. The zulus, amred with weapons from the earlier pyrrhic victory failed to do any more than kill 17 soldiers and wound 15. This was at an expense of almost 1000 soldiers.
