Firearm/Related Terms....Annoy Me

[No_Regerts]

I don't know why I get so annoyed with how, especially the "tactically minded" young guys, describe things. You know, the guy with a neck beard, tattoos that are often contradictory, low profile hat down over his eyebrows, Oakleys, grey or black polo shirt (vertx, underarmour, proper, 5.11, etc.), 5.11 pants (OD, flat dark poop, or "coyote"), at least 2 mystery items clipped to pockets, and lime green trail running shoes trimmed in royal blue (honorable mention: desert combat boots). They always stand in the "interview stance" and love to "what-if" the crap out of everything. Here's some things they say that bug me and my alternatives:

1: They say: SEND IT!

I say: shoot...in a really boring and mundane way.

2: They say: Primary, Secondary, Tertiary!

I say: first, second, if that schit don't work...

3: They say: Pre-zent your firearm

I say: Point your gun at him.

4: They say: Your workspace!

I say: Anything other than workspace. I bet whoever coined that is SO TACTICAL!

5: They say: Scan and reholster!

I say: Who farted? That's what scan and reholster looks like.

6: They say: Low Powered Variable Optic!

I say: scope. And when people look confused, I remind them it's a word, not an abbreviation or acronym like LPVO.

7: They say: Platform!

I say: gun

8: They say: My Kit!

I say: My schit

9: They say: chassis
I say: Ugliest damn stock I've ever seen.

10: They provide: Unearned 1000-yard stare and cryptic advice about stuff they haven't done, (but you have)....

I say: What a d-bag....

This is just about every firearms instructor (and suck-ups looking to be firearms instructors) I have to suffer through every month at work. Before anyone says "ok, boomer", I'm not even 40. That makes me a millennial! But after 17 years at the job...I've had it. I don't even like going to the range anymore. I go because I have to, and the free ammo. That, and these guys are pretty easy to beat in whatever gun game they choose.

PS: I've never seen a coyote that was the color "coyote". Who makes this crap up?

What I really like* is when someone tries to tell me all about a combat action...that they watched on TV or read about...
And its one that I actually took part in....
*Sarcasm , here in case anyone misses it....

With that said...
I know that two or more folks experiencing the same event , will have two or more far different outlooks and sets of experiences within the same event.
But Damn....Really...I don't want to hear you tell me all about something that I may prefer to forget....especially after I tell you I don't wanna hear about it....

I like my 5.11s but I especially like my hot wife when she wears hers

Don't forget about the tread on me, moron labe, punisher skull, join or die, thin blue line and all the other cliche decals plastered over their lifted trucks…. The "tactical" guys who play dress up on a static range. Yes I'll get heat for that comment. I don't care. All the gear in the world and they can't run a mile. But hey they look and sound cool…..

Please point to the place on this tactical teddy bear where this person hurt you.

This coyote is coyote and band aid colored

I said most of those things in the Army. I'm 52. Retired in 2012. Now whatcha got?

You are also describing about 90% of the gun channel you tubers.

The dude on the MAC channel is a quintessential example.

The guy I'm talking about is like a wannabe gangster....not an OG like you!

Thank you for suffering those phrases in the defense of our nation and our way of life.

I hung out on my front porch with my neighbor the hunter and tolerated him saying "clip" half a dozen times.

He means magazine, but I don't think it's my place to correct a man's grammar.

He's killed enough animals to stock the San Diego zoo. I reckon he has earned the right to say clip

you swooned me when you admitted you were a millennial... theres hope for tomorrow now.

I'm not anal about what people call things as long as everyone understands what they mean. I don't know anyone that says penis but the doctor and the sex ed teacher. We always called it something else.

Where did generation Y go? Went from Gen X to idiocy with no middle ground! And I'm BARELY a millennial. If my mom woulda had me a couple years sooner...
