Show me your Winnie ....

[Faulkner]

Sometime I just have to laugh at the terminology that some folks use on gun Internet forums. I mean really, does anyone ever go into a local gun store and ask the guy behind the counter to take a look at that "Winnie", or "Remmy", or "Mossy"? In the he man gun shops I've been in they'd forcible take your man card and laugh you out the front door if you asked to see the guy's "Winnie".

I agree, it's baby talk in my opinion. Don't forget shotty and springer.

Dude, I was worried for a second. I'm OK now.

Ugh, I forgot about 'shotty'. I really detest that one. How about "little pony" for a Colt pocket pistol.

 

[carpriver]

How about springer, or a subby. Is baby talk alright.

I don't like "wheelie" worth a damn, and "boolits" is just imbecilic.

But then I also cringe, hard, when someone refers to sandwiches as "sammies".

I like to think I had outgrown that kind of talk no later than age four.

I detest cutesy terminology.

^^"Boolits" makes me want to put my foot through the computer screen. I'd like to personally kick the *** of whoever came up with that term. This is the United States of America, not "May-hee co". Boolits.... she at. (projectile vomiting icon goes here)

Same for the cutesy, folksy, "aw, shucks" talk, "Wails, we plumb ain't got no dang 'ol 'taters round these here parts fer nuttin, tell you hoo-wut". Grow up, already.

I'm not showing you my Winnie. That's between me and my wife.

That's "Willy".

Well as long as they are "minty"......................

 

[Muss Muggins]

I once had a coworker that liked to talk in abbreviations and acronyms, the meaning of most of which were only known to her. She never understood why I told her I didn't understand . . .

Wow Winnie's aged well............................got my W?????????s attention!!

 

[Old Corp]

Also detest most of the new, cute gun terms. Somehow, it beats some of what I've heard from behind the gun counter though....
Examples:
'I'm lookin' me a Smith 'n Western revolver...'
'How much will you give me for my Mossenberger shotgun?'
'I see you have an old Harrison and Richards revolver in the case...'
'I'd never own an AR that didn't have a picaninny rail on it'.

I could go on for awhile.....
