DicKtionary - J is for Junk - Ching Shih 

And now for something completely different... after having shook the worst part of the initial chock of starting BETWEEN 2 WARS we're ready to put up the next DicKtionary episode - and we have two more already recorded, which we will hopefully be able to edit soon too! Enjoy!

Glad to see this is still being produced

One great hilarious series

Breaking the Law! Still after all these years, best song, and best music video EVER (I love that security guard with the incorrectly made mockup Flying V guitar!)

BREAKING THE LAW BREAKING THE LAW

YAY. While I love between2wars I have missed the World Dicktionary. Still hoping for our dear friend Conrad Von Hotzendorf (or Oskar Potiorok) to join the loveable fellows in the Dicktionary.

I had to watch this twice because I was distracted by the awesomeness of your shirt.

Cantonese Pirate Coalition as a 90s band... Why do I have a feeling they would play DJ Bobo type of EuroPop music? 😂

I just finished a glorious binge-watch of this, and all I can say is, "Ausgezeichnet, alles! Wunderbar!" The humour is a bit sick and twisted...please keep it up.

If anyone wants a more "positive" overview of her, Extra Credits did an Extra History episode on that. They really have a love for romanticising murderers.

Be-bodied! LMAO

You should run the history channel. This is what it needs to be.

Okay. So this is a video kind of related to Hong Kong. So I have to step in and offer some additional information about my beloved country. You know you can actually visit the cave where according to legend is the place Cheung Po Tsai hid his treasure? The Cheung Po Tsai Cave is in Cheung Chau Island, Hong Kong!

I'll be waiting patiently for the rest of the alphabet, no matter how long it takes!

I can't wait for the rest of the DicKtionary. Love the shirt Indy and the Marvel comics and DC comics references.

I'm digging the constant asides that Indy has with Sparty.

i completly have to admit Indy is just the best

Fanatically monogamist pirates. Now that is truly frightening!

If anyone wants to learn more about Ching, Extra Credits recently did an episode on her, as well as TED-Ed

Love this DicKtionary! "Feet nailed to the deck" brought to mind the great comedy Yellowbeard (1983).

Every good story needs a pirate. Arrgh.

You should definitely do an episode on Madame Mao, Jiang Qing, who was instrumental in the Chinese Cultural Revolution and all the suffering brought on by that.

P is for Pot, Pol Pot

Did someone say Olga of Kiev? She was Queen in Ukraine that had a thing for killing people with fire, for the slightest missteps. She burnt cities to the ground, if her subject local leaders displeased her, I would say that counts as reason enough to be added to the DicKtionary. I can hear he opening limerick now: M is for massacre - the slaughter of thousands Poor Drevlians picked out for destruction and pain M is also for Manipulation - though it may not Rhyme The fact you're on fire is of greater concern M is finally for madness - for how mad can you be To canonise the Saint the Burnt Cities with Glee

Thats how I plan to retire. Find a nice quiet place in the country and open a little gambling house and brothel. Aah la belle vie..

This is too good to stop,, where's the rest?

DicKtionary on Conrad von Hotendorf or Luigi Cadorna please.

Indy, you are so captivating that I ignored my oven timer and burned my kids' cookies to hear the rest of this episode.

"Nail that man's foot to the deck!" - love the Yellowbeard reference, Indy!

Here's another good idea, one that's a perfect nexus of Indy's greatest loves, history and baseball. O is for owner, controller of teams, who provide baseball fans with a field of dreams, but sometimes an owner can make people hot, a miser and racist, this is Marge Schott. For those who don't know, Marge Schott was the infamous owner of the Cincinnati Reds for much of the 1980s and 90s. She was notorious for being cheap to the point of being detrimental to her players and was ultimately forced to sell the Reds because of her extreme racism and anti-semitism. She definitely deserves to be in the World Dicktionary.

M is for "Medical Experiments" - Shiro Ishii

imagine if modern warships time travelled to her era

One of her descendants became "Dragon Lady" in the Terry and the Pirates comic strip.

S is for Statesman - Otto von Bismarck War and peace served at his mark Sturdy hold of Iron Chancellor And pragmatic social legislator

I hope this series returns. As for suggestions: Canadian Minister for Militia and Defence during WW1, Sir Sam Hughes, for approving stuff like the Shovel Shield amongst many, many dick moves

K for Knight, and discuss e.g. Charles the Bold of Burgundy? Or the burgundian dukes in general? Interesting struggles with the French, English, Germans, Dutch and of course the Swiss, lots of controversy but also charity such as the hospice of Beaune, patreonage of the arts, renaissance, the beginnings of nationalism, struggles of cities with their Burgers over Feudal Lords and their allegiances.

LOL! I fuckin' love you, Indy!

Alister Crowley or Jack Parson. The insane clown posse before there was one.

I think the K should be reserved to King Leopold II of Belgium. Who took Congo as his personal private property. He become rich trading with rubber. He hired a group of mercenaries for the administration of his possesions. He demanded that bullets should be used to kill people and not for hunting and a severed right hand should be shown for each bullet. Force labour and slavery was the norm. Those villages that didn't complain with the rubber cuota were erased. His administration was brutal and genocidal and he was responsible for the death of 10 million people, nearly half of the population.

It was a harsh time, Indy. People born on the bottom of society had few options, and kings all got their thrones the exact same way. Moreover, the east india company was a cartel for piracy, drug smuggling, and land theft, so fair is fair. Lastly, those punishments were pretty much standard for the era. The royal navy used flogging, keelhauling, and hanging to maintain discipline. Absolutely, not a dick.

I would like to suggest Maurice of Orange as, N is for Nassau, O is for Orange, P is for Prince, R is for Religion or T is for Tolerance.

You should do Andrew Jackson XD

I miss this show.

Oliver Cromwell

Here is an absolutely excellent one - Flight Lieutenant Jerry Rawlings - former dictator of Ghana. This guy is absolutely interesting to learn about. He has - on multiple occasions - taken dictatorial control of Ghana, including facilitating human rights abuses. However, he actually basically spearheaded the movement to make Ghana a democracy. It's perhaps the only time in history someone like himself not only willingly gave up control of the country, but did so with little coercion from within or without the country by opposition forces. He didn't HAVE to give up his control, but he did it anyway. Why did he do it? Well, it seems the academic community isn't quite sure, I've read a bit about the guy and what I read hinted towards economic factors - primarily international aid - coming into play but that actually underestimates the guys intelligence in order to make sense but guy isn't dumb so I find the theory dubious. Even if you don't want to make an episode about the guy, anyone interested in Democratic transitions should look into Ghana's utterly unique transitional experience and should read about Jerry Rawlings, who would definitely have some conflicting tenets on the 'dick' scale.

Douglas MacArthur

I nominate Bob Kane as O for Opportunist. He may have done the initial drawing of Batman but the heavy lifting were done by Bill Finger and Jerry Robinson.

Colonels in a navy? Weird. They certainly took their sexual morals seriously. Wow. Hard to imagine.

Simon bar Kokhba for rebel. his revolt basically destroyed Judea (as the area was trying to recover from the destruction of the jewish temple) The rabbi's of the Talmud pun on his name to bar Koziba- which literally means son of lie. The roman massacres were memorialized because he took along the sanhedrin on his little rebellion (rabbi akiva was one of his generals, and his death story is part of actual prayers because he burned with books). OTOH, the rebellion is actually the first main separation point between Jews and Christians and marks the introduction of rabbinic judaism. So he's interesting en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_bar_Kokhba

I would want an episode about Ion Antonescu and King Carol II of Romania

I know something was up the minute I saw that chicks face on screen. W/o context, she seemed like another Hollywood eye- trick. But thx for the clarification Indy, bc no one else would even bother cropping up history like u do

That's one swanky crib.

Shih was very powerful and wealthy.

Zhang Zuolin. Grew up poor, eventually turned to banditry and later became one of the most succesful warlords in China.

K is for knowledge and should go for *Thomas Edison*

Suggestion for the letter 'T' (since 'F' and 'A' have already been used. Fernando Álvarez de Toledo, he's better known in Dutch as hertog Van Alba. He was one of the major players in the Dutch eighty years war, in wich he killed a lot of innocent civilians.

Ching Shih: Executes people for having sex outside of marriage. Also Ching Shih: Opens a Brothel.

Please do one for Alcibiades, quite possibly one of the most charismatic and brilliant dicks throughout history.

I need more world dicktionary !

I really thought that shirt was a certain other one until i read it closer.

T is for totalitarian: Kim Jong-Il. Hey, he's dead, Jong-Un is the new one, so it's fair game!

Curtis LeMay!!!

I guess this series is on an indefinite hiatus.

Pope urban the 2nd is a good one

Waiting patiently waiting for K for Killer

Okay. I just finished watching the whole part series. I figure finishing the alphabet is on the back burner due to higher priorities? This is a good series and I like a bit of the joking about history. It does not always need to be heavy duty, so making a joke here and there is cool. Kind of like how I prefer getting my political news from comedians. I think these videos will rack up views over time as people find them, because they are pretty good. Do you guys to that series The Cold War? That is pretty good too. Similar format to The Great War, but its sister channel is K&G.

Can you guys add subtitles? I'm not that good with numbers in English and the subtitles really help me.

I have a feeling W is gonna be crowded

Portugal CARALHO !!! 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹

K is for Knowledge: J. Edgar Hoover

I need that shirt.

M is for Music-Richard Wagner, specifically. Besides his notorious anti-semitism, he also started a music festival devoted entirely to his own works.

Basil bulgar slayer

Poisenous gas fritz haber

Oh...my...god. They used David So's gif. Wow. My RU-vid subscriptions are crossing over.

Saddam Hussein S for Scud

Hideki Tojo or Mao Zedong, Maybe prince Asaka from Nanking

I would go with unbodied ,j is for JUDAS PRIEST awesome always great content thanks

Perhaps an Admiral Kolchak for your next entry into the DicKtionary! Love the work!

M is for Anton Mussert??? Just a suggestion, but you could also go Mao.

That was classy!

Indy, maybe do Jim Jones, Muhammed binTughluk, Delphine LaLaurie or Baby Duvalier next. I would also enjoy Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos immensely, as well. Esp since Bong Bong their eldest son was just elected President of the Philippines this year even after they were forcibly expelled from the country in a coup d'etat back in the mid 1980's!!

Nice shirt

Glad he did not grade her on the Dick scale. Yes I think Pirates are horrible people I live in Florida and if you think the Pirates of the Caribbean was just a movie franchise by Disney you're wrong it still happens all the time. To have been a woman and Achieve what she did and not be punished I admire the Chinese government for keeping their word. In the history of my country the United States there were amnesties granted and people were still killed after giving up their ways of violence. Desperate people commit desperate acts it does not necessarily make them bad people it makes them human humans will do whatever it takes to survive and I'm sure at some point her survival Instinct kicked in and she achieved much more than most women on the planet in her day and age. I hate to romanticize the Killer but in some odd way she is admirable

Another possible dicktator candidate: Separmurat Niyazov of Turkmenistan AKA Turkmenbashi the Great. Maybe feature him as "R" is for Rukhnama.

Based on the Great War Series : Kaiser Wilhelm, Csar Nicholas, Enver Pasha, Lloyd George, Baron Von Richthofen, Ludendorf

So in the Battle of the Tiger's Mouth, according to Wikipedia, Portugal had 3 to 6 ships, while the pirates had between 300-700. Just... how?

Chaim Rumkowski - K is for Kids

I suggest dutch painter Han van Meegeren: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_van_Meegeren. Great story too...

What's the anime shown in the episode? It looks like Lupin the Third but the characters aren't familiar.

Marcus Licinus Crassus

So did this series end? I assume it ended because WW2 started but did it?

Do a episode on Huey Long.

Charles Trevelyan

Virgulino Ferreira da Silva "Lampião".

talk about pol pot and the khmer rouge how he's made a bright future dark in Cambodia

S is for Soviet Vladimir Lenin

Not as bad as the others on the list...People I mean.

General William T sherman.. why drive to the sea. As well as campaigns against native Americans

This is such a cool series, thank you. Ya know, Nikloai Yezhov was a dick.
