Firearm Nomenclature

Lets try this...

This is my rifle,
This is my gun,
This is for fighting,
This is for fun.

Followed by the idea we don't let the military dictate terms to us. They make their own and if you know whats good for you, you'll use their terms while serving. They're the real sticklers about it.

And I usually defer to those who live in a town on how to pronounce the towns name. Its their town, not mine. Same for people's last names. Except Steven Colbert, which I refer to as 'Col-bert' because he's a disgusting lefty who prefers to be called 'Col-bear". If it irritates him, all the better.

And just for fun, some firearm manufacturers provide exploded diagrams with the ammunition holding device referred to as the clip. They built it, and if they want us to call it that, its fine with me. Unless its a gun I don't like, in which case I feel no duty to honor them.

Thank you rburg, I now have a new pronunciation of "Col-bert"!
 
Iffn nomenclature sets y'all off, can't wait until somebody starts the texting thread. OMG the horror the horror (LOL) :)
