Whiskey Tango Foxtrot – WTF?
That definition of war seems so ... bloodless.
ReplyDeleteYes, it does.
DeleteSo which came first, the movie or the Whiskey Tango Foxtrot expression? Because it seems like it takes a long time to show you're surprised if you have to stop everyone and say "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?" It's almost anti-climactic by the time you get all finished!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the expression came first. And like was mentioned on an earlier day this month, people use the expression so they can cuss without upsetting their mother =)
DeleteWell, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot! I prefer Wednesday Thursday Friday. I stole that from Donna Everhart. :)
ReplyDeleteCan't go wrong stealing from her =)
