decimate

the verb to "decimate" comes from the root of the Latin word for ten. Obvious enough, but the use gets more interesting. The verb "To decimate" is synonymous with "to destroy" and may be used to talk about a great reduction, loss, etc. "Decimation" was used as a Roman military strategy, as punishment for a severe crime, typically rebellion or desertion, the army would be forcibly lined up, and every tenth person would be killed. The form of group punishment based on the number ten is an adequate enough explanation for the origin of the word. Today, the word can be used in a less mathematical context, and still be grammatically correct, though it's still an intense verb.

The Dewey Decimal

The Dewey Decimal is a sex act where the male member is a book that needs to be returned to the shelf (his partner). He is blindfolded so she must lead the way by shouting where to go... This is an intensive and mentally stimulating foreplay option that requires knowledge of the human reproductive systems. Commands shouted must be in an alphabetical order (for example: bazongas, lips, vagina, etc.) This leaves no room for creativity but a lot of room for a good ole saucy evening of "categorical book organizing."
