"Good Laertes,
If you desire to know the certainty
Of your dear father's death, is't writ in your revenge,
That, swoopstake, you will draw both friend and foe,
Winner and loser?"
--William Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act IV, scene 5
swoopstake (adverb) = indiscriminately, without distinctions
I want to work this word into conversation and then savor all the puzzled faces.
