clip and magazine, irk me. But I cant get my own brother to quit using clip. However, what sets my teeth on edge is when people name their rifles I, honest to God, sometimes hunt with a guy who has 2 rifles. An ar-15 named "reaper" and .33WSM named "butcher" . The worst part? He is a 45 year old man, and refers to them by name. It's not my AR, or 5.56 or even Ruger, its " I loaded up ol" Reaper and sent a few pills down range, and gave a couple of pigs a dirt nap" (the rest was just proof I read the whole thread )

I'm laughing because I'm the same way. People that name their rifles are douches...then...I went and named 1 of my rifles. Just one. It's the only one I'll ever name. My marlin 1895 is named "the big stick". Call me a douch. I deserve it.

Creedmore-don’t understand why it’s so hard for so many people to spell Winny, Remmy, Annie, Bob, Roy, pill, Leupy, Bushy, Mossy And I couldn’t tell you why.
Don’t roll those bloodshot eyes at me.

"Bolt gun" - Does it fire Lag bolts? Carriage bolts? "Lever gun" - Does the rifle fire bars of soap? "Wheel gun" - Is it chambered in 15" or do you have a modern replica chambered in 22"? I never post but these terms drive me so crazy I had to log in and add to the pile.

I found it somewhat amusing when the industry created the term "modern sporting rifle" to replace what was previously known as an AR-style firearm.

I can put up with all the mis-identified terms people use for guns and gun parts. But I just shake my head at a salesman behind the gun counter trying to tell someone what caliber they should carry or what gun fits them best or which is better (revolver or semi). I have had so many people come through my classes with a new gun and told me the man behind the counter said these never have a problem or they told them they could handle a gun that was too large for them. I don't mind the wrong language of gun terms but these salesmen are dangerous.

I prefer the term clipazine so I know I have all my bases covered.
