Talk:Battle of Oxcross

"Smashing victory"
I'm vaguely aware that "smashing" is a more common adjective with different usage for wider things in British English. It isn't in American English. American English doesn't use "a smashing good time". However, American English commonly uses the phrase "a smashing victory", i.e. the enemy were smashed. In the same sense as "crushing victory".

I.e. the Battle of Gettysburg was a smashing victory by the Union over the Confederacy, and the Battle of Yorktown was a smashing victory by the United States against Great Britain:

Last but not least and purely by accident...I honestly wasn't copying the Wiki of Ice and Fire entry, but it also refers to Oxcross as a "smashing victory": http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Battle_of_Ashemark

This is a common phrase in American English.--The Dragon Demands 01:41, April 25, 2012 (UTC)
