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

[Robert Newberry]

Whoa Todd, step away from the keyboard and take a deep breath. If that got
your knickers in a bunch a day in your life must be pretty interesting.
Todd its just green radios and schmeg, the world isn't coming to an end
with book burnings!  I pointed out that I'm not uptight about it, and I
thought it was funny. I was mearly pointing out a lot of people had never
heard this word before and probably should be versed on what it could be
confused for.  It seemed MrMike was oblivious to the another meaning to the
word which is spelled different but sounds very similar when pronounced.

Its no big deal...just green radios and schmeg
