Referring to the S&W Governor as, Ahh, it's a good snake gun, as if Smith developed the revolver for that single indication, without thought to market research and improving on the Taurus Judge.

- "clip" instead of magazine!
- assault riffle
- fully automatic semi assault riffle, when referring to an AR rifle. turns out it wasn't fully automatic (Miami news media on multiple occasions)

Normally, I would agree with you, but I'd give these guys a break:

Thought of another one......
"Mother Ship" as in "sending my gun back to the mother ship for warranty repair" Someone has been watching the SciFi channel too much.

Unless you are one of Uncle Sams Misguided Children, if you name your firearm after a female, you are on the "list"
I agree that the term run, running is very annoying when it comes to firearms and anyone using it is highly suspect of being a basement bearded operator!

"Bang switch" for the trigger, as in 'keep your booger hook off the bang switch until ready to fire'. Gotta say, though, it's descriptive.

Slide release. Good God. It's a slide lock.
I've heard it referred to as a slide release, I've heard it referred to as a slide stop, but the only gun part I've ever heard referred to as a slide lock is the part that keeps the slide from coming off the gun, i.e., you have to pull down on the slide lock to take the slide assembly off the frame when field stripping a Glock.
I just thought of another one that's been bantered about on at least one TV gun show.... MSR 'Modern Sporting Rifle' as opposed to an AR15 or a weapon or just plain gun so it sounds more PC.
That one really bothers me. It reminds me of when my dog rolls over on its back and spreads its legs.

For me it is the " Build" referring to putting parts together to end
up with a AR. or similar military weapons. Also " Booking a hunt"
which is being transported to a feed lot to shoot target animal.
Baby words like Mossy, Winny, and Remmy make me grit my
teeth. I have been known to call a gun by name, but they ain't
endearing.

None of it bothers me. You have to consider the source.
Now it you want to piss me off, put your finger on the trigger of that new gun you're thinking of buying while it's pointed at my head!!
