Are there stores in the Middle East that sell nothing but flags of western countries for people to burn? If not, you could probably make a killing setting up a chain.

I smell an opportunity for WalMart - JihadMart

Copenhagen is also a verb (transitive) in English.

As in - "We could Copenhagen Iran, but that would be a risky course of action. "

The AHD recognizes no such verb.

Agreed. The risks of contracting a venereal disease alone would make it a totally reckless endeavour.

Genitourinary medicine and surgery in Nelson’s navy
J C Goddard


Surgeons of the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic and revolutionary wars, between 1793 and 1815, were solely responsible for all health care of the officers, men, and boys of their ships. This paper examines the genitourinary medicine and surgery encountered by the naval surgeons at the time of Nelson. Primary sources are examined to explore the presentation, case mix, and management of genitourinary disease during this period. A general overview is given of the life and work of the Royal Naval surgeons at the end of the 18th century. The documents that were examined contained 39 surgeon’s journals, these were written by 26 surgeons on 13 different ships. The journals contained 446 presentations to the sick list of men with genitourinary symptoms. The presenting symptoms are grouped together under the following headings; venereal disease, penile pathology, scrotal pain and swelling, urinary symptoms and retention, stone disease and trauma. Examination of these journals permits a glimpse of medical life in the Royal Navy during the time of Nelson. The case load and management of genitourinary disease shows the diversity of presentation to these surge

"... Trauma". Not too hard to imagine.

"On the morning of April 2, 1801, Horatio Nelson directed a line of British ships up the dangerous channel that lay outside Copenhagen harbor. Along the channel was anchored a line of Danish ships and floating batteries intended to protect the harbor and the city. Britain was not at war with Denmark, but the Danes had joined a league of "armed neutrality," masterminded by Russia, in great measure in protest against the way the British boarded and searched the vessels of nations that were neutral in the great war between Britain and France (the United States would declare war on Britain in 1812 for some similar reasons). The British considered the "armed neutrality" a sufficiently belligerent step that a pre-emptive strike was planned to knock Denmark right out of it. Nelson was under the nominal command of a dead-wood senior officer, Vice Admiral Sir Hyde Parker. Parker watched the attack from outside the north end of the channel. Nelson swept in from the south and anchored his ships next to the Danish line. After two hours of firing, Parker, thinking that things were not going well, ordered Nelson to break off the action. Clapping a telescope to his blind right eye, Nelson denied that he could see any such order. The Danes, indeed, were hard pressed and soon agreed to a truce. The truce quickly became a negotiation, as British ships moved into place to shoot "bombs" from mortars right into Copenhagen. The "armed neutrality" fell apart. ]Henceforth, the attack on an enemy's fleet in its own harbor could be called "Copenhagening" the fleet.

I figured it was about that, but the verb is obscure enough not to be in the AHD, which means it's pretty obscure indeed.
