Regional sayings



I didn't learn about Jody until I got to my first permanent duty station. But he was the guy that was taggin yer girl friend back home while yer stuck at some God-forsaken military installation.

The DI's from the other United States thought that would tweak us, But being from NY Jody was a woman's name, Or gay..So we just laughed at them....How we ever won the war in Nam with them morons teaching us i'll never know...

Oh......Wait we didn't....;)
 
Heard this from a waitress in a South Phillie diner decades ago. It still sticks with me today.

'Chures?

Expanded version: What is yours?

Actual meaning: What are you having from the menu?

Well, around military installations, they call things by a different name depending on the branch of service.

Army has a latrine

Navy types have a head

Air Force has a powder room

Army has a mess hall

Navy has a galley

Air Force has a tea room

:D

(Go Air Force)

Don't get me wrong (Ozarkian) I admire all the branches, just a bit of military ribbing because the AF generally had it made, not all and not all the time, but generally.
 
New York, I'm going out and sit on the steps of the 'Stoop'.

Outside your front door usually with steps leading up to it. Some may call it a 'Porch'.
