- sk0g 6y agoWhat do you think (ex)terminate means, while not being a quite direct reference to catastrophic events?
- ColanR 6y agoIt means kill one thing with extreme prejudice, which does not fit the description I gave you. The nice thing about a large vocabulary of both positive and negative words is that it's possible to use words that actually fit the context.

- jgwil2 6y agoGenocide means destroying an ethnic group by killing all of its members - it is in no way generalizable to "kill them all." Surely you can see why that's a poor use of language (even discounting the potential to offend). Save yourself a character and just go with "killall."
- sriram_malhar 6y agoThe word genocide has a much more sinister import than 'kill all'. It literally means kill all of one race ('geno'). I wouldn't call terminating a child process 'infanticide' either.
