3 syllables is more "hardcore" (sounding) than 2....Ever notice that many of these have more syllables than actual words? Saying WML is 3 syllables. Gun light is 2.

Or build roundabouts! Oh, wait...Be like the Brits and say torch.
It's the military. Making simple $hit hard. And then the outsiders adopt it cause it's "cool."LPVO (4 syllables). Scope (1 syllable). Leave it to people to make a simplification more difficult to say than the actual words.
It's strange that people here use British terms more and more. Torch, cheers, kit, millimeter.....this is Murca!Be like the Brits and say torch.
Been there, done that. Don't recommend it. Well, fatherhood I do. But changing "muddy waters" at odd hours gets old; thank goodness for when they are potty trained. If for no other reason the aforementioned dooty duty really kills the mood.Oodles.

Man, my wife was about to call ER/Urgent care when the little one ate something with red food coloring... because her poo came out looking a little like bloodI got pics of what happens when a kid gets ahold of too much food coloring on Easter...
This one is really irritating.LPVO (4 syllables). Scope (1 syllable). Leave it to people to make a simplification more difficult to say than the actual words.
so much for the 'smooth moderator' business....I don't know why I get so annoyed
Spot on - prophetic.It's the military. Making simple $hit hard. And then the outsiders adopt it cause it's "cool."
You said "load"Would you really rather people say " here's my loadout for a one way range trip!" lol
Kinda like when I found out my parents weren't virgins when they got married.so much for the 'smooth moderator' business....
Bro! Do you even operate!?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?
