Has anyone ever heard the term "clip" instead of "magazine" and not known what the person was referring to? And it's TOO careless and lazy, not "to". Point being we can all be experts at picking the fly $h!t out of the pepper. What does it prove?

Oh..I agree with you.   I do know the difference and have never failed to discern what they meant even if the ambiguity might be present.

That still leaves them stupid.

P.S.  The value of picking the fly $h!t out of pepper depends upon how much you enjoy eating fly $h!t, or, at least, how much of it you can tolerate eating.

One time I was talking to a guy at work and I said something about a banana clip and he corrected me, but banana magazine just sounds wrong so I don't say it. Otherwise I try to use the "correct" terminology even though a lot of firearms manufacturers don't, which makes me wonder if clip is also correct when referring to an ammunition feeding device. Who decides what the definition is that everyone should use? Is it a magazine if, and only if, it has a spring in it?

With all that we have going on in this country at the moment, I'll reserve calling someone stupid who is far more deserving. God only knows we have enough better examples to choose from!

I'll have to agree with Bill on this one, nowadays the clip/magazine issue is so far down the stupid list as to verge on smart.

Well, I'll agree with  you and Tom.....   They make the cut, as long as they put the right end in first.

Was announced on the evening news that the world population will soon pass 7 billion. The lucky? baby will probably be born in India. There the lucky  little kid can join the other 6 or 7 billion people over there in abject poverty for the rest of his/her life. It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling, or maybe the hives.
