    I know the vague definitions of both words (thanks to my Latin dictionary) but my Latin grammar sklls are shocking and i don't know what they mean togther, and I have a feeling it's something very cool and I want to know exactly. I think it's something like "Knowledge kills" or "Knowledge to kill"

    little help?

    Seems more like a "doctrine of massacre", something akin to scorched-earth, decimation, or genocide. "Trucido" pops up all over the place, but this topic is the only "doctrina trucido" entry at Google at this time. Near as I can figure, doctrina is merely "doctrine", and trucido is butchery or "massacre".

    Or maybe it's something like "1001 tips to kill a foe"?

    I thought that the verb comes before the noun in a sentence? Could be the other way around..."I kill for knowledge."

    Given the context ( the phrase was used in Matthew Good's "Alert Status Red" video), that sounds like a good definition. Thanks very much.
