That's my story and I'm sticking too it. The term came from the first time my mom saw it and she sort of freaked out because she had no experience with a semi-auto rifle and believed some of the media hype. Since .223 is about only good for coyotes that's what I told her I got it for...it seamed to work.
Same when I bought my Mini-14. My dad wasn't really a 'gun person'. He had nothing against them, just didn't care to shoot them much. He asked what the hell I needed it for and I told him coyotes and armadillos and other varmints. He thought about it a minute and said OK.
I just couldn't resist the chance to tease you some.
I personally can't stand hair touching my ears. I have to keep it short. My Dad's father would always say, "Get your ears lowed, did ya?" after every haircut I got. My Mom's father didn't even know my name. He just called me his blue-eyed, blond-haired grandson. He would also make sure my hair was to the proper length.
Blast I sure miss both of them.
Same here, nowadays.
If it gets longer than 3/4" on the sides I get out the clippers.....in fact, I'm re-charging them for a cuttin' tonight.
