Have I encountered something peculiarly American?


Recommended Posts

 I'll bet I can find some folks in England that have an encyclopedic knowledge of Dr. Who and who can tell us some really weird things about sonic screwdrivers.

 

 

My GPS is "Martha". 

 

 

Martha Jones was OK. Sarah Jane Smith was the best companion. though.

Very true! My MCJROTC unit also gave our rifles girls' names. While the Marine instructor and cadet officers didn't use the exact language Gunnery Sergeant Hartman uses in Full Metal Jacket, it was similar.

 

 WARNING: Language  

 

Exactly.

BTW still one of my all time Favorites

I have referred to things like that in the feminine....just like a boat I suppose....but never really to the extreme of individual names

 

My bet is they guy was just extending that as a way to make things fun and keep the scouts interested a bit.
