So that's where.....
Professor Polistra has been hitting the books, to see if she can determine what Kindler Gentler Georgie is trying to do, since it's obvious he's not working toward victory in any normal sense. She found the following illuminating comparison:
Victory (n)
Def 1: (Old Churchillian origin):
Now one bond unites us all -- to wage war until victory is won, and never to surrender ourselves to servitude and shame, whatever the cost and the agony may be.
Def 2: (Mod. Bushian dialect):
Use power to help people. For we are given power not to advance our own purposes nor to make a great show in the world, nor a name. There is but one just use of power and it is to serve people.
Apparently the 'Modern Bushian dialect' is an allophonic variant of Old Wilsonic, which became extinct in 1938. It shows traces of semantic borrowing from the Gandhian idiolect as well. ¶ 11:55 AM
