Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 6: Carlton vs. Hawthorn

[Baggers]

"Usually" is the key to the interpretation for Samo.
Translated this means, it applies to infrigments on players from 17 teams.
When it comes to the 18th team, however, I'll please my f%$& self how I come to a ruling. Same sh*t, different day????

I hear you! Still flabbergasted and p1ssed off with the breathtaking double standard on this one.

"You maggot" was how I was normally addressed in my time in khaki.

There were a fee other choice ones but they ain't PC.

Laughed instantly when I read 'You maggot'. Ah, the memories. My time, as I've bored most with on here, was in the Navy ...so in navy blue and white... but of course! Our name for those in khaki was not very kind, those in khaki called sailors something even worse! Air Force got the only reasonable one, 'Blue Orchids.'

But learned well the fine art of biting sarcasm I see, garnished with a tinge of elitism 

You wouldn't have enjoyed life in the military then ...many a uniquely Aussie colloquialism to be enjoyed there, but oh so crass... even gauche. ;D ;D

I learned biting sarcasm and elitism long after I left school.

No, I wouldn't last long in the military. Patriarchy and macho crap on steroids.

That's the downside, the upside is superior understanding of self-discipline, team-work, hard work and excellence. Pass mark in two of my 6 subjects to gain qualification in my 'trade' (comms/encryption/code breaking etc) was 98%, the other 4, 80%.

One I can share from my time in the Green Machine is, “I’m going to rip your arms off, stick them in your ears and ride you round like a farking motorbike!”

"Gusset sucking lombards" is the nicest thing my sergeant called Naval personnel.  Most others referenced the LQBTF community. He called the RAAF types "blue moths".

Did you ever get to lay out "bastard wire" DJ?

I don’t recall the term but I still have a scar on my arm from a particularly nasty entanglement I constructed.  The sergeant instructor thought I had a natural talent for barbed wire, which is just as well because I now have hundreds of metres of it

) ) ) still sitting here laughing at that one. Funny thing is that I was going to recount a similar story ...so... young Baggers (just 17, 9 wild hairs on his top lip) learning to march at recruit school (H.M.A.S. Cerberus) when I heard in a screech, "Baggers (well, real name), if you don't swing those fckng arms to shoulder height I'm gonna tear the fckng things off and beat you to death with the wet ends..." Ah, the creativity. The things you remember. You know I actually believe that we Aussies have the most creative and colourful slang in the world.

Sorry for the off topic contributions but, eh, a little comic relief doesn't go astray...

That's the stuff DJ,  it bites doesn't it?

Baggers,  in true Monty python Life of Brian fashion: "favouritism.... Oh,  to be spat on like that" springs to mind.

A mate was telling me that he was in similar studies and his superior kept telling him how well he was doing, one day he asked where he would end up if he kept doing well.
The answer was that he would be rewarded with a code breaking job in a bunker with no windows... he flunked his next test and transferred... ????
