I would like to know more about the purpose of word "collective" in following sentence:




We're about to get our collective ass kicked.




Did the speaker used the word "collective" here just as a means to emphasise her point?



Is that use of word "collective" a regionalism?



Thanks!

          Image
          10 1 I have a function that searches a vector of iterators and returns the iterator if its names matches a string passed as an argument. koalaGraph::PVertex lookUpByName(std::string Name, std::vector<koalaGraph::PVertex>& Vertices) { for (size_t i = 0; i < Vertices.size(); i++) { if(Vertices[i]->info.name == Name) return Vertices[i]; } } My question is how can I implement this as a lambda, to use it in connection with std::find_if ? I'm trying this: std::vector<koalaGraph::PVertex> V; std::string Name; std::find_if(V.begin(), V.end(), [&Name]() {return Name == V->info.name;}) But it says that V an enclosing-function local variable cannot be referenced in a lambda body unless it is in the capture list. ...
