Military Slang Downrange
clipped from www.foxnews.com
Like their fellow soldiers in Germany, Vietnam or Korea, those deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq have created a language all their own, filled with black humor, cultural references and even the occasional crudity.
Most of us have heard of RADAR -- originally a military acronym standing in for the cumbersome term "Radio Detection and Ranging."
We may even have encountered, or experienced, the occasional SNAFU, for "Situation Normal: All (Fouled) Up."
But what on Earth is a "death blossom?" Or a "fobbit," for that matter?
Slang terms referring to features of a base are also common, for example, a sign someone put next to an oil-filled puddle on a base in Afghanistan reading, "Rainbow Lake."
Street legal bumper cars or GM protoypes?
Save a Prius ride a bumper car. LMAO I have to get one of these. Whats next Merry-go-round horses?

Harshpaul Bumper cars are good, and they are much better when they are street legal. These vintage bumper car bodies move with Honda or Kawasaki engines powering their souls. Initially, these cars belonged to the Long Beach Pike amusement park, and were ultimately consigned to garbage heaps. And there they would have rot had Tom Wright not come to their rescue.
