What word links merry, new, and squad
"like manner, we may apply the phrase to ""Merry England"". Hazlitt's subject was the traditional sports and rural diversions native to the English. In ""Die Lage der arbeitenden Klasse in England"" (1844: translated as ""The Condition of the Working Class in England""), Friedrich Engels wrote sarcastically of Young England (a ginger-group of young aristocrats hostile to the new industrial order) that they hoped to restore ""the old 'merry England' with its brilliant features and its romantic feudalism. This object is of course unattainable and ridiculous ..."" The phrase ""merry England"" appears in English in the German text. William Cobbett provided"
"Andrew of Wyntoun's ""Orygynale Chronicle"" of around 1420 and Walter Bower's expansion of the ""Scotichronicon"", completed around 1440. Later ballads name additional Merry Men, some of whom appear in only one or two ballads, while others, like the minstrel Alan-a-Dale and the jovial Friar Tuck, became fully attached to the legend. Several of the Robin Hood ballads tell the story of how individual Merry Men join the group; this is frequently accomplished by defeating Robin in a duel. The phrase ""merry man"" was originally a generic term for any follower or companion of an outlaw, knight, or similar leader. Robin's"
"the recollections of clever comments during tours, camps and practice sessions and that mystical bond between them that share a sacred song that denotes the choir's worth. It is to be deeply touched by the words and music during a revered moment that brings amazing change in their life. Cantate Domino canticum novum! ""Sing to the Lord a new song!""

"along with ""SC"" to further define the brand more accurately as a soccer club. The club's nickname, the Crew, also evolved from its original meaning as a hard-working construction crew to a new, more relevant one as ""a tight-knit group of people who come together to share a passion for our club and the sport of soccer."" The nickname, Crew, is now meant to symbolize a unique brand of family and friendship between the club, the fans and the communities who unite to embrace and celebrate the authenticity and heritage of the sport. With the rebrand, the club also identified"
"Awkward squad An awkward squad is a group of individuals, normally within an existing organisation or structure, who resist or obstruct change, either through incompetence or by deliberate association. It is commonly accepted that shortly before his death in 1796 Robert Burns uttered the words ""Don't let the awkward squad fire over me"". At this time the phrase was in use in military slang for a group of recruits who seemed incapable of understanding discipline or not yet sufficiently trained or disciplined to properly carry out their duties. John Clare, an English peasant poet, wrote with his own spelling and"
"Hail and Farewell Hail and Farewell (a translation of ""ave atque vale"", last words of the poem Catullus 101) is a traditional military event whereby those coming to and departing from an organization are celebrated. This may coincide with a change in command, be scheduled on an annual basis, or be prompted by any momentous organizational change. It is a time to honor those who have departed the unit and thank them for their service. At the same time it is a welcome to those who are joining and introduces them to the special history and traditions of their new"
"holding a sword in his right hand and a key in his left. The Clan motto reads """"Furth, Fortune, and Fill the Fetters"""", meaning, roughly, """"go forth against your enemies, have good fortune, and return with captives"""". The demi-savage badge was favoured by the late Duke of Atholl; the Clan continues to use it out of respect. An older badge depicts a mermaid holding a mirror in one hand and a comb in the other, with the motto """"Tout prêt"""", Old French for """"Quite ready"""".

"Gaudy Gaudy or gaudie (from the Latin, ""gaudium"", meaning ""enjoyment"" or ""merry-making"") is a term used to reflect student life in a number of the ancient universities in the United Kingdom as well as other institutions such as Durham University and Reading University. It is generally believed to relate to the traditional student song, De Brevitate Vitae (On the Shortness of Life), which is commonly known as the ""Gaudeamus"" (Let's make merry) by virtue of its first word. At the University of Oxford a gaudy ('gaude' at New College, Oxford, pronounced the same) is a college feast. It is often"
"it was thought that the English term ""Jubilee"" derives from the Hebrew term ""yobel"" (via Latin """"), which in turn derives from ""yobhel"", meaning ""ram""; the Jubilee year was announced by a blast on a shofar, an instrument made from a ram's horn, during that year's Yom Kippur. An alternative etymology notes that the Latin verb ""iūbilō"", ""shout for joy,"" predates the Vulgate, and proposes that instead the Latin ""jubilo"" (meaning ""shout""), as well as Middle Irish ""ilach"" (victory cry), New English ""yowl"", and Ancient Greek ""iuzo"" (ἰύζω: shout), derived from the Proto-Indo-European root ""*yu-"" (shout for joy).

"a birthday, or getting a new job. Mazel tov ""Mazel tov"" or ""mazal tov"" (Hebrew/Yiddish: , ""mazal tov"";""mazel tov""; lit. ""good fortune"") is a Jewish phrase used to express congratulations for a happy and significant occasion or event. The expression comes from the Mishnaic Hebrew ""mazzāl"", meaning ""constellation"" or ""destiny"", which may be related to ""nazal"", meaning ""to flow down"". The Mishnaic word derives from Biblical Hebrew ""mazalot"" (2 Kings 23:5). While the words ""mazal"" (or ""mazel"" in Yiddish; ""luck"" or ""fortune"") and ""tov"" (""good"") are Hebrew in origin, the phrase is of Yiddish origin, and was later incorporated into"

"to the phrase ""Sweeney Todd"" for ""Flying Squad"", a rapid response unit of London’s Metropolitan Police. In ""The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin"" (1976–79), a comic twist was added to rhyming slang by way of spurious and fabricated examples which a young man had laboriously attempted to explain to his father (e.g. 'dustbins' meaning 'children', as in 'dustbin lids'='kids'; 'Teds' being 'Ted Heath' and thus 'teeth'; and even 'Chitty Chitty' being 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang', and thus 'rhyming slang'...).

"Molad Molad (מולד, plural Moladot, מולדות) is a Hebrew word meaning ""birth"" that also generically refers to the time at which the New Moon is ""born"". The word is ambiguous, however, because depending on the context it could refer to the actual or mean astronomical lunar conjunction (calculated by a specified method, for a specified time zone), or the ""molad"" of the traditional Hebrew calendar (or another specified calendar), or at a specified locale the first visibility of the new lunar crescent after a lunar conjunction.

"Awkward squad (trade unionists) The awkward squad was an informal grouping of socialist trade unionists in the United Kingdom. The group arose in the early 2000s when seven leaders of smaller trade unions who held membership of the General Council of the Trades Union Congress began meeting to discuss common positions with respect to larger unions. The group shared left-wing views and began co-operating on broader political and industrial matters, opposing what they regarded as the economically liberal policies of the ruling New Labour faction of the Labour Party. It included such figures as Bob Crow of the RMT, Mark"
"""squads"". This groupthink has such strength that phrases such as ""for ease of learning, this movement is broken down into 'squads'"", are commonly used during periods of drill instruction. In actuality, were the lesson being given to a platoon, company or parade, the word ""squad"" would be replaced by the appropriate unit. Thus, these stages, parts, or movements should not be referred to as ""squads"".

This varies from country to country, corps to corps, and battalion to battalion, many having their own terms for friendly, unfriendly and specialist squads.

"Squad In military terminology, a squad is a sub-subunit led by a non-commissioned officer that is subordinate to an infantry platoon.

"Sabre squadron A sabre squadron, or (in US English) saber squadron, is an army combat unit of sub-battalion size, as opposed to a headquarters or support unit. The term ""sabre squadron"" is typically used to refer to units descended from or influenced by cavalry such as armored or reconnaissance units.

This is generally achieved through the narrative using the various specialties, traits, and other personal advantages of each member to counterbalance the (often sole) specialty of a formal group of adversaries. Archetypical instances of the ""motley crew"" overcoming adversity are commonly found in fantasy and science fiction. A motley crew is also the model for most sports stories, in which the opposing and antagonistic team that is ultimately defeated is also much more organized and coherent.

Alternately, ""The Middle-Earth Encyclopedia"" writes that Meriadoc means ""joyful"" or ""cheerful,"" while Merry means ""having high spirits.""

"Amusement Amusement, from the old French ""à muser"" – to put into a stupid stare, is the state of experiencing humorous and entertaining events or situations while the person or animal actively maintains the experience, and is associated with enjoyment, happiness, laughter and pleasure.
