From Sargon the Great, 24th/23rd-Century BC king of Akkad, who was quoted as saying:

Whatsoever king shall be exalted after me, ... Let him rule, let him govern the black-headed peoples; mighty mountains with axes of bronze let him destroy; let him ascend the upper mountains, let him break through the lower mountains; the country of the sea let him besiege three times; Dilmun let him capture; To great Dur-ilu let him go up."

Pritch

[Griffin NoName]

Pritch

To rend a gaping hole in the rear of one's breeches.

An interesting word. The exact origin is obscure but it is believed to have first been associated with the dressing of the Stump-tailed Macaque monkey (known locally as Britches) in tight garments when he was filmed at the Boston Tea Party to advertise tea drinking to the masses. The curious replacement of the initial letter B with the letter P is thought to have gained common usage resulting from the effects of excessive tea drinking in huge quantities. Adaption of usage to the current precise usage seems to imply an act of desperation.
