Resting Bitch Voice

A trait where everything someone says comes out as bitchy or sarcastic, regardless of actual intent.

"Is Jacob going to come out with us?"
"I don't know. He said he'd 'love to come, sounds like lots of fun', but it sounded like he was making fun of me with that resting bitch voice of his."

Karl von Clausewitz

Clausewitz was a Prussian soldier, military historian, a prominent thinker, and a military theorist. He is most famous for his military treatise Vom Kriege, translated into English as On War. He stated that warfare is a human activity and therefore it is imperfect, thus it cannot be broken down into a narrow set of rules. He also stated that war and battle are filled with the unexpected. He called these unplanned variables and surprises, "friction.” Only the general who had the genius for flexibility and strategy could minimize the impact of friction, but not completely. He suggested that war was not end itself, but rather a means to an end. Clausewitz also believed that the more serious the objective, the more serious the soldier’s mindset would become, resulting in more violence and bloodshed during a battle. One of his central themes is focusing on the opponents “center of gravity.” The center of gravity could be the enemy’s armed forces, or it could be public opinion depending on the nature and objectives of the war. Just like Jomini, Clausewitz preferred the offensive instead of the defensive. He also said that the best general was the one who remained calm during the chaos of a battle.

"War is nothing more than the continuation of politics by other means." - Karl von Clausewitz

vokills

The "black/death metal" take on the word "vocals". A form of vocalization used in extreme genres of heavy metal, ranging from a low unintelligible growl in death metal to a raspy shrieking found in black metal. Variations of black and death metal, such as melodic death metal also use this form of lyrical vocalization (one can't really label it as "singing" because of its nature).

Vokills are not to be confused with simply shouting or screaming into the microphone; the utterances have an otherwordly quality, being used for meaningful invocation and representation of atmosphere rather than just "shock factor".

Abbath's vokills really rocked on Immortal's "Sons of Northern Darkness"!
