Murder!

I was surprised to learn that, depending on who you kill there's different types of murder.
For instance:

Kill your mother: Matricide
Kill your father: Patricide
Kill your kids: Infanticide
Kill your Sister: Sororicide
Kill your wife or mother in law: Justifiable Homicide!

Ya learn somethin' every day.

from Wiktionary:

In sense 2, from French -cide, from Latin -cida (“cutter, killer”), from -cid (combining form of caedō (“cut, kill”)) + -a (“-er”) (used for form agent nouns). In sense 1 (now the primary sense), by extension from sense.

Okee there, whatever.

All this humor makes me thirsty, time to commit beeracide.
