@ekename,
Whooa… slow down there Lady, what with all this Dev coder [img] and {quote} geek speak and /r/e/a/d/.
I woodah gone to MIT instead of Juvy Hall because You See The Whole Country Of The System Is Juxtaposition By The Atmosphere Because You Are Sophisticated Rhetorician Intoxicated By The Exuberance Of Your Own Pursona. You See In Such Accentuating Circumstances. Who Can Ask Me Preclude From Such Extravagance As You See The Coefficient Of The Linear Is Juxtaposition By The Atmospheric Pressure Of A2K.
Drop and give me 10:
Hooah - “It’s not just a word.... It’s a way of life.”
From a long time ago, just like many military traditions.
Every soldier in training knew one catch phrase. The word could be used for everything except “no.” This expression has mainly been associated with the infantry, but Hooah (who-a) has spread to the rest of the military also.
Each branch of service will argue the correct dates for the word. William L. Priest, author of the book “Swear Like a Trooper,” says it may date to the British “Huzzah!” of the 1700s.
According to an Army explanation, the history is drawn from the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment, known back in 1841 as the 2nd Dragoons. In an attempt to end the war with the Seminoles, a meeting was arranged with the Indian Chief Coacoochee. There was a banquet after the meeting where the officers of the garrison made a variety of toasts. Back then the modern hooah was pronounced as “hough.”
Coacoochee asked an interpreter the meaning of what he said. He responded, “It means, “How d’ye do,” whereupon the Chief said “Hough!”
Now, the Marines will claim they started the phrase from their Revolutionary War battle cries. Their version of the word is “ooh-rah.” Talk to any Marine and they will tell you that the two are not the same, and their version is uniquely their own, existing as a separate and distinct word. It would be like comparing a hamburger to a cheeseburger.
Ooh-rah is the motivational cry of Navy boot camp. “Ooh-rah and hoo-ah both are heard on Navy bases and on ships, except for the SEALS’ spirited hoo-ya,” said Jack Green, a spokesman for the Naval Historical Center in Washington, D.C.
No mater how it is spelled or sounded out, it still is an expression of high morale, strength and confidence. Whatever branch you’re in, the word comes from a place in our hearts that we all understand. Hooah is the blood, sweat and tears that was nurtured with the life of a soldier.
However I am still unsure how your advice that I rub a little coelacanth on my naughty bits, fondle a flamingo and chant the Poetic Edda at the top of my voice on a full moon night with nothing but flippers on is going to cure my cough!!!!!
The A2K secret they absolutely didn’t want you to know…
At a recent A2K meet, it was observed that amongst the 45 members there were 13 purple, 15 yellow and 17 maroon outfits.
When two members wearing different colors meet, they both change into the third color.
Is there a sequence of pairwise meetings after which all A2K members have the same color?
BTW I dropped my keys cispontine.
