Those who rallied around that cry were basically bloodthirsty soldiers. It was a warcry to demonstrate their fearlessness.

Even nowadays there's a part of the army, the "Legion", that has one song that says "Soy un novio de la Muerte", which means "I'm Death's boyfriend". You can watch it in youtube if you search those words, it's easy to find.

Mmm, there's Humakti material there...

> Might be another pun there. The spanish facists (franquists, who followed the unlamented general franco) rallied around the cry "Viva la Muerte", which is one of the worst obscenities ever spoken.
> I remember some spanish poet threw his glass' content to the face of the facist bigshot who screamed that at a mass rally. That did take a lot of guts ; he was a respected old man (can't remember his name) who was assassinated later.

> Even my Humakti wouldn't say such things. Death just is. No need to glorify it.

> As for the rumanian, some readings about Dracula to prepare last Bacharach's LARP led me to believe peasants there call all such things "strigi" or "strigoi". It's almost the same word in italian for witch. A bad word everywhere.
