Mayhem

The word mayhem has several meanings:
  • Original meaning: a crime consisting of the act of maiming; in many jurisdictions this offense has been subsumed by the crime of aggravated assault
  • Modern usual usage: havoc and disorder (often with humorous overtones). This meaning arose from the public while reading newspapers, misunderstanding the common journalese phrase "rioting and mayhem"
  • A black metal music group: Mayhem (band)
