    Decimate means to reduce by 10% of the original (first meaning kill one man in ten). More than decimate would be to reduce by more than 10% of the original.

    Thanks for the knowledge. Seems many people use that term incorrectly.
    The town was decimated by the hurricane.
    "we decimated that defense" with our passing game. so, they really reduced the power of the defense by 10%

    Eric Trump said to buy the dip last week. Of course he sold the fake dip into the bull trap to now the real dip. I have the pattern down, opposite is true.

    Yes, of course this what it means.

    The Romans started this concept, and now 3000 years later it's in our language.

    Yay, thank you very much.
