A bit like that daft Spam nonsense at Incirlik! "Heads Up" or "Head sector" were deemed offensive to women, as was the 'Kill Box'.... So they would talk about "Going locker to locker in the container", instead of "Head to head in the box".

We told them that they were also using a word which was offensive to our females. "Gee, sorry, what word is that?".

"Bush"! As in GeeDubya, for example!
