Did Animal Mother countermand Cowboy's order ?
Word of the Day : May 16, 2019
countermand
verb KOUNT-er-mand
Definition :
1 : to revoke (a command) by a contrary order.
2 : to recall or order back by a superseding contrary order.
Did You Know ?
In the military, one's mandate is to follow the commands (and sometimes the countermands) of the officers. Doing their bidding is not particularly commendable—it's simply mandatory. The Latin verb mandare, meaning "to entrust" or "to order," is the authority behind countermand. It's also behind the words mandate, command, demand, commend (which can mean "to entrust" as well as "to praise"), and mandatory. Countermand came to English via Anglo French, where the prefix cuntre- ("against") was combined with the verb mander ("to command"). It has been a part of our language since the 1400s.
Examples :
"Although the Special Counsel regulations may not permit the Acting Attorney General to countermand certain decisions made by the Special Counsel, the Special Counsel remains subject to the Acting Attorney General's plenary supervision." — Jennifer Rubin, The Washington Post Blogs, 13 Aug. 2018.
"The idea … was that there should be an extra layer of distance between the people and the choice of president—and that this layer should consist of a group of citizens (electors) who freely deliberate about the choice … with the outcome of those deliberations treated as legitimate by the people even when it countermands the result of the popular vote." — Damon Linker, The Week, 19 Sept. 2018.

Thank you my friend SGT John " Mac " McConnell for your continuing efforts to educate us RallyPoint members, Lake Wobegon citizens, curmudgeons, ne'er-do-wells and others in need of knowledge :-)
The verb countermand is not typically used in the vernacular of the 21st century.
Cornelius the cumbersome continually countermanded his own contrary commands to the consternation of his concubines, courtiers, and celebrants in the late middle ages. :-)

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - I resemble that remark. Sometimes I am just downright "mean" and insensitive.

I tried not to give any order that would have to be countermanded by higher ups.

I didn't have that much sense when I was younger. Sometimes I had to get my in theater superiors to call the number on my "The Card". :))
