demojeff is right, this is kinda fun. BroJoeK and rockrr, for a right jolly good time, google the following phrase:

"had spent two weeks chivvying this division toward combat readiness"

You will find that this phrase, from the Tom Clancy book, is the "go to" example used by most online dictionaries to demonstrate the use of the word "chivvying" in a sentence. Don't be fooled by the disingenuous demojeff, who just tried to pass it off as information that he "remembered". Shame on us for having "already forgotten Tom Clancy and his use of the word". Indeed. Bravo Sierra to you, demojeff.

"...had spent two weeks chivvying this division toward combat readiness"

By the way, just the other day I happened to catch a short bit of Errol Flynn in San Antonio from 1945.
In it, addressing a group of businessmen, Flynn did use the term "tally book".

Of course, Flynn was originally Australian (we love Australians) and the reference here was to an actual book, not a metaphor as in "put that in your tally book".

Total vindication.
