UK - wicked evolved to sick, to Ill (man that tune is Ill) (a tune generally doesn't have a tune by the way) Ill has been replaced by Nang ...

Which makes Spike Milligans "ning nang nong" about the hippest poem around ...


Perhaps a more useful war reference might be that of Alexanders Advance on Rome in what is now Italy.

Alexander was hopelessly outnumbered by the Roman infantry who formed a massive square which ground relentlessly forward like a mighty mincing machine.

Alexander lured it into a trap so that he could attack the flanks with his pikemen, his horseborne archers took out what little roman cavalry there was, and then harried the rear, and the infantry were able to mop up the rest.

A better informed war historian will be able to correct the innnaccuracies and fill in the gaps but essentially, the Romans were as square as it gets, while Alexander was really pretty nang!
