[Milsurplus] [MRCA] Schmeg - the word.....

[John Flood]

Words have different meanings in different regions and countries even in the same language.  I can give a woman a ride in my car here in the US but to do so if I was visiting family in Ireland would leave a smile on my face and an unhappy wife! I fondly remember the Schmeg and purchased some of it!  One mans Schmeg is another mans Junque!  But then again, when most of us radio guys refer to our "junk", we mean something quite different than what others may refer to as a mans junk!  That's what makes languages fun at times!
