Origin of the term "run"

[Trial153]

You guys are really running with this.....

 

[UpWndFrt]

It is the evolution of language. i am sure even yall out there complaining describe things as "cool" even if they are not physically lacking in warmth.

"Dude," I was thinking the same thing! Them dern whippersnappers with their backwards hats, watching too much Fresh Prince of Belair. Get off my lawn!"

Using "pills" for bullets is worse.

Since we're venting:

Advice; add v ice: "I need some advice on what pills to run in my stick."

Advise; add vize: "Please advise me on what pills to run in my stick."

Please make a note of it, thanks

Well, "we better just back out", and talk about which socks are best for glassing.

Given some of the heated debates in recent threads, ANY non-confrontational, non-political topic is a welcome relief, even one as frivolous as this! {had I really wanted to impress you all, the word "actually" would have appeared at least once}

I love threads like these, especially when someone chimes in ~"this is dumb" or "why would you waste your time complaining your friend bought a 6.5 CM?" after they have taken the time to read the thread and type out a response. If we only covered what was critical, the forums would be much shorter, and I for one wouldn't have anything to say. And yes, to quote a whippersnapper term, I'm often bored AF and waste incredible amounts of time looking for these types of threads.

BTW, I'm so stoked because I seen that my new shades have arrived so that I can put one of the finishing touches on the optics I run with my Idaho elk packlist. Not to be confused with the gear I runned last year for my CO pack.

I don’t normally use the term run, but since I’m a PITA, I’ll probably start using it now just to annoy people. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[Vandy321]

that's been a term on the mil side for a while. My guess is it came from those carrying bolt guns around the AOR and somehow "running the bolt" made its way into "running" other pieces of gear....final answer, and i'm never wrong...except for when I am, which is most of the time.

Somehow that has morphed into "what type of mountain ops pre-workout drink are you running bro?"

Make it stop.

Glad this was posted and was also wondering when this became such a common thing “hunters” say. Same with the military speak that is so popular amongst hunters in the last few years. 10-4 and copy used in every day language instead of “okay” or “sounds good”.

Nobody used to ever say these things until a few years ago and I don’t know why it’s so annoying it just seems so out of place. Like they are trying too hard and going out of their way to sound legitimate. Just talk normal man. Nobody cares.

As stated above, the term “run” has its roots in the military. Same as “kit”. It’s extremely annoying, but I guess when looking at the bigger picture there are way worse things to get twisted up about. I just can’t help but wonder if the people saying it all the time have any idea how stupid they sound to others. It’s just as bad when someone says “that’s a good piece of kit”. When I hear that it’s like someone just drug a cheese grater down my spine. Way too many couch potatoes trying to sound like Operators.

And since we are just on a rant here........can anyone explain what the fu*k is the logic behind tucking your ears into your flat bill hat? I mean you already look stupid enough with that flat pieceof cardboard sitting across the front of your forehead. Why ad further insult to yourself by tucking your ears into it? Is it because the hat doesn’t fit your head properly? Is it because the hat feels like shit on your head because that giant flat bill is forcing the sides of it out unnaturally? I realize that like all things in life, trends change. But for the life of me I can’t wrap my head around the flat bill ear tuckers. You look like a complete goon and you make hunters look ridiculous to non hunters.

Oh btw......I’m running XL size underwear because I have a larger than normal piece of kit up front.

HAHHAHAHA YES!! Thanks for the laugh man. These heinous out of place uses of terms really do make the users sound ridiculous. And not in a "you weren't in the military/can't be tactical" way-I could care less about those pretenders.
What it is, is WE never used those terms-hell, we would crush the few guys who started using them. One dude in particular's nickname became "SAS" because of his sudden lingo change. I would suggest those that partake in the knock off british military jargon familiarize themselves with one more term; Assclown.

Still find yourself bewildered why we laugh at you? See aforementioned other brit jargon term, Wanker.

My former military buddy did say they used "running" frequently, but made fun of anyone who used "kit" because it was a British term and meant that they either had some interaction with the SAS, or wanted people to think same. As for the origin, he said they were using "running" in the 90's and guessed that it may have come from motor sports - "what carb are you running with your engine?"

First aid kit, kill kit, tool kit,, trauma kit, they have been around for a long time

I think, at least in the case of my buddy, he was making fun of people using "kit" in place of "gear" - like "I'm almost ready to go, but let me get my kit together first."

I'd say 11......not that there's anything wrong with that.

heinous means hatefully or shockingly evil, seems harsh if not entirely incorrect to describe taking poetic license with terms like run, which can mean to operate (as in run a drill), and kit which is a set of articles or equipment needed for a specific purpose (such as a set of equipment to used to hunt and/or camp). I suppose describing something as a piece of your/my kit instead of simply piece of kit would be more grammatically correct.
