I am watching the replay of the game from today. Drinking a Blue Moon or two. Weep for me, OWA fandom…
A lot of my SWA former military aviators call Marines, “Crayon-eaters.”
I have always known the Marines as, “Jar Heads”
Gyrenes.
Because their poop includes colorful bits of wax? What does this mean?
That’s probably why some refer to them as, Grunts.
Tonight’s Army Navy Cocktail features bitter lemon instead of lemon juice; whiskey barrel-aged gin; and grapefruit bitters, along with tbe standard orgeat. A change-up seemed appropriate for this game. I’m enjoying the cocktail.

Lance threw about 61 change-ups (intentional or not, or masquerading as another pitch), so that drink should fit right in.
Children often will eat crayons.
It’s like calling the Air Force the “Air Scouts”, as in “Boy, Girl, Air”

The name-calling between branches is pedantic. Want to quickly quiet a soldier or Marine poking fun at the Air Force? Ask them what they think of AF SOWT.

My retired Air Force friends despise that nickname.
One of my SWA cohearts who’s probably one of the biggest fucking crybaby shitheads, lost his petty little feeble mind because some other SWA military vets were ribbing him for being a being a “crayon-eater”/former Marine (notice I didn’t say ex-Marine).
His sad, petulant, juvenile and immature responses to their jesting (some attacking my buds who actually flew combat unlike his JD Vance style service of being a back office grunt) only reinforced what a loser he is, as they pointed out to him it’s a time honored tradition for the branches of the United States Armed Services to poke fun at each other.
Fuck him.
We call a lot of the former USAF fighter pilots “Kernels” at work because they are such rigid motherfuckers who won’t do anything “outside the manual.”
To be fair, a lot of them are rightly such tools.
Which reminds me of one of my favorite military jabs: REMF

I do not condone using this phrase unless you’ve earned the right to, but the worst/best inter-military slur I heard was between a couple of old friends (one Army one Marine), while we’re tailgating at a Texans game years ago…
I ask, innocuously and of genuine curiosity, “why does one branch say ‘hooah’ and the other say ‘oorah’?”
Marine immediately pipes up and says “because you can’t say ‘oorah’ with a dick in your mouth”
