Although similar groups have been found around the world, berserker generally refers to the small class of Nordic peoples who could be found preforming inhuman feats on the battlefield. When in combat a berserker would fight nude and/or completely unarmored, sometimes taking the skins of bears, wolves or other beasts to heighten his appearance. Uncontrollable rage is the signature of the berserker. To enter this rage many would have pre-battle ceremonies in which they would consume alcohol, and work themselves up into a violent, bloodlusting mood through dance and similar actions, and then often take psychoactive drugs to make them, in combination with the mighty rage, immune to pain and personal hurt. As a result, these fierce warriors would not back down when injured or against overwhelming odds, and be completely numb to pain and the killing that they were doing. This is a lethal combination, and makes the berserker a plausible candidate for creating the werewolf myth, let alone a terrifying addition to the ancient battlefields of Europe and Scandinavia.
It is known that these specific warriors known as berserkers were often intense followers of the god Odin and other members of the Aesir, and would engage in religious ceremonies invoking these forces to imbue them into an insane, unmatched frenzy before battle.

With a mighty swing of his rough axe, the blood-covered skyclad Berserker pounded through the lines and formations of living flesh and blood, screaming as a dozen men fell to his blade, unwavering in his savage assault when blades and arrows pierced his own skin.

Get the Bersi mug.The word Bespoke came from the 1600's and meant something had "Been spoken for."
The modern use of the word bespoke means to be custom made exactly to a customers personal preference with absolutely no level of detail or expense spared.

I went to Honk Kong to buy a beautiful bespoke tailor made suit. Even with the travel and hotel costs, it was still a fraction of the cost of what it would be to have one made by a tailor on Savile Row.

Get the bersu mug.Bespredel (from Russian “беспредел” — “boundlessness”, “no-limit-ness”) is a situation when someone in power — be it political, financial, or criminal — does whatever he wants while enjoying complete impunity and getting away with murder (often literally).
While people in the West believe that the ongoing Ukrainian revolution known as Euromaidan was triggered by the President’s last-minute refusal to sign the association pact with the EU, its real cause was the fact that most Ukrainians were fed up with the appalling bespredel on behalf of President Yanukovich, his family, and a bunch of oligarchs.
