Big words
I'm just a ignorant NCO, who happens to play with radios. But I have discovered while listening to the radio that I recieve quite an education in grammar.
So my topic for the day is, what are some of the silliest words or phrases you have heard officers use on the radio.
ex. 1 Tertiary- I heard this word and didn't have a friggin clue what it meant. Apparently it's a fancy word for "third"
ex. 2 Interogative- I quote "in response to your second interogative..."
Hearing words like that come over the radio just amuses me. Anyone else have an example?
