Answer
Murrayisms were the nickname given to the blunders of General William Walker, an American filibuster who attempted to conquer Nicaragua in the 1850s. Walker's military campaigns were characterized by a series of strategic and tactical errors, which became known as "Murrayisms" after a particularly disastrous battle in which Walker's forces were routed by a much smaller Nicaraguan army.
