preterivanje Explanation: Izraz overkill nema veze sa ubistvom, iako bi kontekst možda na to upućivaoo - u pitanju je figurativni izraz nastao pedesetih godina prošlog veka u vezi sa nuklearnim naoružanjem, a danas označava naprosto nešto što je preterano ili čega ima previše... a pritom stoji "somewhat overkill", što bi dodatno ukazivalo da nije u pitanju pravo krivično delo. https://www.etymonline.com/word/overkill#etymonline_v_10069 https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/overkill |
