Or: Poephol Pirate Gans We'll have to try those out. All in all though, Pogue Gans has sort of a euphonious resonance to it -- as well as being Strictly True of course -- and it's much better than REMF Gans, which just doesn't have the same cachet and comfortable familiarity from long usage. DSH Lux et Veritas et Libertas Deus Vult [Pogue] > It's a word of Gaelic origin (it occurs as a surname) and fairly > indeterminate meaning. Its use in US military slang is not of any wider > importance. Correct... Gans has been confused and bollixed about this pogueish issue for years... So he gets wrapped around the axle... Like roadkill... Giving us Pogue Suey. DSH Lux et Veritas et Libertas > The Consumer Technology man for the New York Times is David Pogue [sop] < http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/p/david_pogue/index.h tml?8qa> Quite True... He's the Good Pogue. DSH Lux et Veritas et Libertas Nonsense... And Wrong Again About My Service, About Which Pogue Oliver Is Completely Ignorant. I've Often Served With Marines & Have Great Respect & Admiration For Them. They Didn't Lower Their Standards In The 1970's -- As The Navy Did. DSH Lux et Veritas et Libertas >> I'm not quite sure why DSH has adopted it as his all encompassing >> epithet...his only service with Marines would have been while they were >> providing guards for security functions/materials, not the most likely >> time for the sort of conversations that might arise aboard ships with >> MARDETs or attached Marine units/squadrons. pervert say what. |
