Тезаурус:
- Although full-blown HDTV will for many years be expensive overkill for the home, wide-screen TV is available now.
- In fact the United States boasted of its capacity for "overkill" - another euphemism in the nuclear vocabulary - as if to wipe out one's adversary several times over could only make the world a safer place.
- Although that is overkill in defence of his part, Duran had some cause to grumble that the referee instantly pulled the pair apart when Duran forced a clinch.
- Reborn: overkill not required
- First release will either be the atmospheric "Tomorrow's Day", or the livelier "It's Like This" but - despite attention from major labels - Reborn aren't looking for overkill.
- Some fear that if Mr Mieno delays much longer, he risks overkill.
- Khrushchev's dry comment on the Soviet lack of "overkill" was: "What good does it do to annihilate a country twice?
- David Walton, economist with Goldman Sachs, the US investment house, said: "They do run the risk of overkill, quite severe overkill if they push rates up."
- The Ministry of Defence objected on three grounds: the increase in nuclear missiles available to the West was operationally unnecessary and would only add to the existing nuclear overkill; mixed manning was a formula for military disaster; and the cost of the British share would have to come out of the already overstretched Defence budget.
- So perhaps my overkill misses the target: perhaps the behaviourist analysis of perception is sound, even though a general behaviourism is not, and what BS lacks is not knowledge of the nature of certain mental states, but only the ability to respond spontaneously to visual stimuli, that is, to respond as a result of actually seeing them.
- The rural sociological literature of the 1960s of the diffusionist school has demonstrated to the point of overkill the problem of the laggard and the small farmer (Rogers Shoemaker 1971).
- Develop an "overkill" response to complaints.
