A novel idea for a much needed MOD


Recommended Posts

I enclose a short excerpt from recent correspondance with an opponent (occasioned by me receiving a few choice rounds across the map from a 155mm[?] IG). Please note that, in the interests of non-Australians who might be squeamish about my language, I've censored my expleatives:

"*L* You know, on screen, it just says 'gun' when one of your bangers

appears from nowhere to blast me. I think it should say "F***ing big gun"!

HH

And his helpful reply (similarly censored):

"We should request a labelling MOD to take care of that. "Big F***ing Gun",

"Big assed Tank", "Tiny Assed Tank", "SOB mortar crew", etc. ; )"

So, the discussion is open. Can we inspire an MOD masters out there to enhance and colour CMBO's vernacular into more authentically soldierish terminology?

I remember my grandfather -- a WW1 veteran -- had an inspiring grasp of technicolour language gained as a 16 y.o. recruit to the Australian Imperial Forces which he still employed at choice moments in his late 70s. It'd be nice to have what I personally would think of as the 'Ralph Harrison Memorial MOD' full of foul situationally-appropriate language.

Some humble suggestions might be:

Light armor: "Pathetic crawler"; "Tin Coffin"; "Tin Foil tank"; ".50cal fodder".

Gun: "Penis enhancement"; "Penile compensator"; "Big bone", er...think I'll stop there and revert to the original "FBG" [ie. F***ing Big Gun]

Light gun: "Irritant"; "Bang bang", "whizz bang" [an authentic name for the WW1 German 75mm]; "Don't laugh too hard", etc. etc.

Mortar?: "Kill these guys"; "SOBs"

Anyway...I'm sure others can improve on these first suggestions.....

Cheers
