1) Haha here is a silly story that most likely didn'y happen but is only a little annoying and twee. Better comment on how much like a video game it is, because comparing stuff to video games makes me that much cooler.

2) Hey, I am so cool that I watch my roommate take drugs and do cool things. Said cool things involve both memes and nostalgia for middle school so they are extra cool. Also note I said it was my roommate so if pushed I don't ever have to do the thing that I said he did.

Is "infantry" that obscure of a technical term that someone would have no idea what they do?

And especially, is there that little overlap between people who have, of course, seen Inglorious Basterds and also don't know what "infantry" means?


Maybe I'm biased. Then again, I used to be in the artillery and was surprised by how many civilians had no idea what the word means. In those cases I'd end up saying "the ones who fire cannons" which was usually followed up by "we still have those?" then me having to explain that the military still has a shitload of artillery and uses them a lot.

This poo poo right here.
I was infantry, and had way too many people have no clue what that was. I got sick of explaining it, and went with the following:
"What do you do?"
"I'm a government contractor."
"Oh really? Doing what?"
"Foreign relations and diplomatic liason."

This is somehow even more douchey than the Bear Jew response... which admittedly, made me giggle.

I'm having a hard time believing many people have never heard the term "infantry". Are you sure they weren't just asking you for clarification since that's a pretty general term and wanted to know what your specific job is?

Also the soccer story sounds like it was written by the same people who write the "my FIANCEE says if I get 1000 LIKES and SHARES on this post she will MARRY me" type facebook posts. Nobody (sane) does that - if they want to do the intimate act/major life decision, they'll just do it, not make you jump through arbitrary meaningless hoops to get it.

What bulletsponge said. To expound, it's loving your life and your job so goddamn much you show up to work every day so happy to be there it annoys everyone else. It's loving every aspect of it, to the point you're getting tattoos with your corporate logo. That's probably translated well enough to non-military language I guess

I've been out of the Army 5 years, I am hardly fluent anymore. To be fair, "moto" is really a Marine term you rarely hear in the Army.

To put it in some context, this was around 03/04, before the flush of modern war movies, and we're often young people. And this was in a lovely Baltimore suburb with low education standards.

But no, these people straight up didn't know what Infantry meant. They hadn't heard the term before. poo poo, I had to explain what Infantry does to more than a couple soldiers in the Army.

I kinda miss the moto retards, because it was almost always the slow downward spiral after the 14th gear layout of the day, or the fourth day straight of area beautification. The only exemption was a big, jolly, kinda dumb dude who was super good at his job, and happy he wasn't living in a meth filled shithole where the only jobs were throwing hay, or working at Walmart. He never really lost that childish moto-ness. To be fair, he needed like three waivers to get in, and I am pretty sure his wife was mentally challenged.

I can see this happening in a way. What kind of unique Jewish perspective can a teenager offer, really? I know I don't have anything particularly uniquely Jewish to say on the topic. My grandparents surely did, but that hardly gives me a unique perspective. So I imagine they just started rambling about something tangentially related and the teacher didn't want to derail the class.

I'm pretty sure the "i don't want to hear the jewish perspective" is only the way the poster interpreted it, not what was actually said (yeah he does use the word "literally" but usually it's safe to assume that when people use that word the thing didn't literally happen). He/she probably just told him to shut up and stop interrupting and the poster went home to rage online at the anti-Semite who wouldn't let him butt in and offer the unique hot take that the Holocaust was bad for Jews.

I sort of read it as "listen this is part of your cultural background and I really want to see if your non-Jewish classmates can answer this" but then I realized I was being far too optimistic. For this poo poo. Which decidedly did not happen.

Yeah, I read it as the standard "Yes I know you know the answer, but let's see if the other kids can work their brains for a second or two to figure it out". Like when you totally know the answer to this maths problem but the teacher knows that you know the answer to it because you answered every other question right because you're a loser nerd. The Jewish kid knows the right answer, the teacher knows they know the right answer, but they have to let the other kids actually think about it themselves or no one is learning.
