The term I hate is "I ran out of bullets". Okay, order some more so you can load some ROUNDS! You guys should spend some time on the Eastern Shore marshes. You'll hear languages you didn't know existed. LOL

my grand daughters starting to talk.
sometimes i use language i wish i didn't. OK a lot.
i wish it didn't exist so us construction workers wouldn't have learned it.
 
Yellowhammer, no problem here. There is just better terminology than killing. Whatever floats your boat. I don't harvest things either. I have killed things all my life. But I just word it a little different. Seems to sit better on my feminine side. I don't have to kill things to make me feel like a hunter, but I sure do like to shoot them. Must be my guilty conscience.
 
it should be acceptable to kill some things, mosquito's, flys,ticks, fleas, chiggers,rats, mice, obama lovers, animal rights activists, liberals, and most democrats and all socialists.
I'm not saying its OK just saying just saying it should be
some are bugs some are a plague

She turned 1 on the first Casey. Thanks for asking. Her first words were, no lie, "big buck".

Been walking for weeks.
 
It's just the way, you as a person, take the meaning of the terms used. I really don't see what the difference is when it boils down to understanding what one is simply stating. I don't care to hear the kids say stuff like shizzle my nizzle.. or whatever it is, I don't really understand what they are saying, that becomes annoying. If I know someone is using the wrong term to a meaning I will tell them the right word,.. but I know the difference to farm and ranch, still I say farm.

Pet peeves

Using the term "caliber" when referring to a chambering.

When someone states "there are no stupid questions" ....there are in fact many stupid questions.

non pet peeve

I like to be at the farm for "harvest" so I can go "kill" all the stuff that runs out in front of the combine.

little casey still has tammy rapped around his finger
and rhea has me.

I use harvest. There are many definitions for it. I try not to get on people about how they use their words because I have a fairly strong Oklahoma accent sometimes especially when I'm tired. I rarely put together a gramatically correct sentence and I type things exactly how I see them in my head so it transfers to the forums a lot. That's what makes me, me.
 
Here's one of my all time favorites: Boolits vs. Bullets

What kind of backwards a** ever came up with that spelling?
"Boolits" sounds and spells like something a stripper might wear on stage, like them little fake cowboy boots with tassles on them? "Mam, those sure are some cute little Boolits Yer' wearin"

The butchering of Hornady also eats at me a bit.
Coyote have always been ky-yote, which by the way is a plural or singular term depending on the context in which it is used?
Example: "Have you killed any coyote lately?" or "How many coyote do you reckon there are in that pack we just heard?"
or "Billy Jo went hunting this morning and came back with 3 big coyote" I never considered it to be made plural by putting an "s" on the end. Am I wrong?

I agree with Cmiddleton, don't sweat the small stuff, but sometimes it's hard not to?

Here's how I view the term "Harvest"
If you didn't plant it, you can't "Harvest" it.
If you shot it, then you "Killed" it. Or, you "Took" it. You cannot grow an animal from the dirt so therefore it cannot be "Harvested" only things like wheat, corn, and pumpkins can be harvested.
I guess I have problems with that term because I feel like it is an imposition upon us by the masses of politically correct Liberals who can't stand the word "Kill" so the word "Harvest" is substituted to make it sound nicer. Doesn't matter how you say it, it's still killing an animal no matter how much sugar you put on it.
My state's game regulation handbook is full of the word "Harvest" and I've tried correcting them on that, but they don't see it my way.

Somebody recently posted on the board that "boolit" is an archaic term for cast lead bullets. I have no idea if that is true. I have been unable to find it in any of the dictionarys I have access to.

Let me get this correctly. I just posted a piece on a golden eagle that 'killed' a coyote. Would I have been better off saying the eagle 'harvested' the ki-ote?

Casy, your sense of humor is priceless................
 
so can i now quit my day job and go on comedy central?
some times its hard to judge the crowd.
in this economy the electrical contracting this isn't going well. i may need a second job. hopefully the competition isn't so tough in the lol business.
at least if you make a joke you don't have to worry if its going to cost you money for making it.
in this economy IF you win a bid you wonder what you left out of it.

I also find his views of "the world as we know it", refreshing from a "somewhat sideways perspective" at times.

Thanks for keeping me entertained while stuck indoors when it's a bone chilling 9 deg. and windchill of -15 outdoors.

That goes for everybody. I hope that my views and opinions never offend any of you. Because opinions are like A-holes, we all have one and know some.

You could be onto something there Jack? I have heard (read) the term Boolits mentioned by a few of the old timers that cast their own, and some of the younger guys just learning to cast have also picked up on it. I don't know why I never made that connection? It's probably a slang term used to describe their creations?
