British Military and American Jargon
Right; any Brown Jobs out there; I've got a complaint.
I was watching a video last night , President Blair was in Iraq saying thanks to the sqaudies, nothing wrong so far.
The sqaudies then put on a show for him that involved blowing up some ordinance. Prior to the explosion a soldier called out a warning " Fire in the hole"
Where did that blatant bit of Americanism come from then and who told him to say it.
Any top brass reading this can you please get this stopped, God almighty we'll be giving troops in the field Coca Cola next (Yanks stopped an exercise in Greece for this very reason once)
