A wordplay that nine-year-olds thought was endlessly funny in Battle School:
quote: "I'm guilty of being a child. And homicide, too, in some people's opinion." "Killing Buggers was not homicide." "No, I guess it was insecticide."

With a pleasant tingle of anticipation, she puts her eyes to the output rig. Having chosen green as the key colour, she finds herself strolling under a canopy of neuronal dendrites, a tropical brainforest.

If its ok to kill buggers because its not Homicide, its Insecticide, does that mean its legal to bomb small hotels because your committing "Inn-Side".
Don't get me started on what "Out side" would be.
Murdering the voice actors of that Pixar film with expensive pillow filling is only "Up-side down"
Shooting the actor who played Klinger would be "Farr-side".
Training hunting dogs to kill precious pollinators would be "Bee-side the Pointer"
Stop me before I pun again.....

Stupid kids- don't they know that despite any external similarities since Buggers evolved on another planet they can't possibly be insects? There are probably all sorts of physiological differences...

If I sink the USS Constitution have I committed old ironcide?

If I kill Kanye and then talk about it am I telling a westcide story?

Killing everyone named Herbert would be simple Herbicide.
(How do you gather all the Herberts? Roundup.

Killing sanitation systems would be sewercide

I murdered a bowl of pasta for lunch. It was pestocide. Or pastacide. Either way the best part was the breadsticks.
