Default famous words

Language is always such fun to study. There are so many good anecdotes to share.

Example --- when Teddy Roosevelt urged his troops to charge up San Juan Hill in 1898, he shouted what a good Harvard educated man would say:

not "Charge", but "Hasten forward quickly there", or so I've read in a book somewhere.

Happy New Year.
