      Syn: {Adversary}, {Enemy}, {Opponent}, {Antagonist}.
  
      Usage: Enemy is the only one of these words which necessarily
                  implies a state of personal hostility. Men may be
                  adversaries, antagonists, or opponents to each other
                  in certain respects, and yet have no feelings of
                  general animosity. An adversary may be simply one who
                  is placed for a time in a hostile position, as in a
                  lawsuit, an argument, in chess playing, or at fence.
                  An opponent is one who is ranged against another
                  (perhaps passively) on the opposing side; as a
                  political opponent, an opponent in debate. An
                  antagonist is one who struggles against another with
                  active effort, either in a literal fight or in verbal
                  debate.

      Note:
            (a) Do and did are much employed as auxiliaries, the verb
                  to which they are joined being an infinitive. As an
                  auxiliary the verb do has no participle. [bd]I do set
                  my bow in the cloud.[b8] --Gen. ix. 13. [Now archaic
                  or rare except for emphatic assertion.]

                  --Sir W. Scott. [bd]I did love him, but scorn him
                  now.[b8] --Latham.
            (c) In negative and interrogative constructions, do and

                  what do you think? Did C[91]sar cross the Tiber? He
                  did not. [bd]Do you love me?[b8] --Shak.
            (d) Do, as an auxiliary, is supposed to have been first
                  used before imperatives. It expresses entreaty or
                  earnest request; as, do help me. In the imperative
                  mood, but not in the indicative, it may be used with
                  the verb to be; as, do be quiet. Do, did, and done
                  often stand as a general substitute or representative
                  verb, and thus save the repetition of the principal
                  verb. [bd]To live and die is all we have to do.[b8]
                  --Denham. In the case of do and did as auxiliaries,
                  the sense may be completed by the infinitive (without
                  to) of the verb represented. [bd]When beauty lived
                  and died as flowers do now.[b8] --Shak. [bd]I . . .
                  chose my wife as she did her wedding gown.[b8]
                  --Goldsmith.
  
                           My brightest hopes giving dark fears a being.
                           As the light does the shadow.      -- Longfellow.
                  In unemphatic affirmative sentences do is, for the
                  most part, archaic or poetical; as, [bd]This just
                  reproach their virtue does excite.[b8] --Dryden.
  
      {To do one's best}, {To do one's diligence} (and the like),
            to exert one's self; to put forth one's best or most or

            gain their assent.[b8] --Jowett (Thucyd.).
  
      {To do one's business}, to ruin one. [Colloq.] --Wycherley.

   The Devouring Fungus Tales from the Computer Age:
   Karla Jennings
   Norton, 1990
   ISBN 0-393-30732-8
  
      The author of this pioneering compendium knits together a great deal
   of computer- and hacker-related folklore with good writing and a few
   well-chosen cartoons.   She has a keen eye for the human aspects of the
   lore and is very good at illuminating the psychology and evolution of
   hackerdom.   Unfortunately, a number of small errors and awkwardnesses
   suggest that she didn't have the final manuscript checked over by a
   native speaker; the glossary in the back is particularly embarrassing,
   and at least one classic tale (the Magic Switch story, retold here
   under {A Story About Magic} in Appendix A is given in incomplete and
   badly mangled form.   Nevertheless, this book is a win overall and can
   be enjoyed by hacker and non-hacker alike.

      This gentle, funny spoof of the "Tao Te Ching" contains much that is
   illuminating about the hacker way of thought.   "When you have learned
   to snatch the error code from the trap frame, it will be time for you
   to leave."
