Goofy Gun Slang and Expressions

[PhilC]

To be fair, I really like CastBoolits.com!

Me too!

On topic "casings" are for sausage.

They used to answer the phone Lee-a-pold years ago when I would call . They don't anymore

Don't ever recall that. They know how to pronounce their name. I have been calling them for years and just did now. They answer with a greeting and "Leupold (LOOPOLD) & Stevens", just like they always have. There are NO "LEOPOLD" Scopes.

Leupold & Stevens: 1 (800) 538-7653

My poor brother says WalMarks instead of Walmart....I wanna punch him in the face....God love him.

Some might say that you should light him on "far" for that.

In days gone by, it was also a slang for tires. Casings for the tube inside.

I love it when they say I popped a cap on him!
How about LAPUA it's never pronounced Luh-poo-uh with the Emphasis on the poo.

"Break" and "Brake".

These get flipped all the time. Makes me a little crazy. Can't say how many times I've read about a 'break' on the barrel.

Eight pages of pure entertainment, thank you all.
I don't know if it's been mentioned and this is for the revolver fans of which I am one, but I have always been partial to "going to strap on my hog leg".

The brake breaks my ears.

As a person who uses the term “build” and never knew it’s a lame practice - what’s a better word to use? Project? Really I’m all about upgrading my firearm vocabulary. What’s the preferred word?

 

[Fast14riot]

I guess it is if you have to save all the a's to use when you say Hornaday

As for February (mentioned by another commenter) the first r is silent. I done learnt that in second grade! I'ze educated.

I learnt it at the libary

I can’t believe this has not been mentioned.
Owners referring to their gun/s as toys; as in I got a new range toy.
Referring to guns, rifles and firearms as toys provides fuel to the anti folks.
Toys are for play, guns are not.
