I thought this was pretty interesting. Of course now ALL are listed,

Good post, thanks.
It's a start. They left out a lot of stuff, like "****ing-A
dittybag."

Had not heard that one for a long time. I remember it be shortened to
simply, "****in' A Ditty".

Now, I wonder how many non vets know what a dittybag is (without the
help of Google)


Me, I do!





I know, too. So does every former boy scout.


Maybe east coast scouts.
