Show me your Winnie ....

Not surprising when you consider people the last sixteen years look highly on having "feelz" and get offended at any and everything along with the amazing amount of safety nazi's who won't stop until they make the world utterly soft and round and no one gets hurt or can possibly get hurt and you have a society of basically adult children.

I'm waiting for adults using pacifiers and asking for time outs-we're not that far as we do have adult coloring books.....
 
How long before these vicious name butchers start calling them "Smittie and Wessonators"?:eek:

Now excuse me while I go clean my Brownie Lever-er-ie:rolleyes::o:cool:

When I was in college in the early '60s, I had a friend who was taking an advanced math course. One day the professor announced that the class was going to have a surprise "little quizzie". The "little quizzie" turned out to be a real brain-breaker, requiring most of the class period to complete. The lone female in the class was one of the first students to hand in the quiz. She said to the (male) professor, "If that's one of your 'little quizzies', I'd like to see one of your little testies!" The class exploded in laughter, the female turned crimson and ran out of the class, never to return.

Moral: Save your baby talk for actual babies.
 
It's a term used to indicate home cast "boolits" from commercial store bought "cast bullets."

Here's an idea; how about calling bullets cast at home "home cast bullets" and bullets purchased from a commercial bullet caster "commercial cast bullets"? Either way, they are called "bullets" if you are an adult and speaking English.

I work in a pawn shop selling firearms. In our display case, we have a pair of small, single shot pistols.

We all know what they are. You do and I do.

If I had a quarter for every person that calls them "dillingers", I would be a very wealthy man.
 
Bimmer is a car, Beemer is a bike. There is some overlap between Beemer and Bimmer owners, but not much.

On seeing an example of the other on the road, both have been known to say "I didn't know they made those". Beemer riders are kidding, usually. Bimmer drivers are serious, usually.
I've always heard BEEMER when referring to the car. Lot of people I know own BEEMERS and not one owns a motorcycle

The Brit army does this. Gimpy for General Purpose machine gun, Remmy or Mossy for shotguns, and of course, shottie.
 
My Winnie got mugged.

Around here for as long as I can remember, a lot of folks call their International trucks, "binders". I think that those nick names and things like Mossy and such are OK as long as you are able to understand the true meaning of the term. Too much trouble to worry about it. Makes me all cray cray.
Peace,
