But it's hopless

[Salty]

In an episode of M*A*S*H tonight - Klinger and Major Windchester were in a windstorm while on the way to Seoul and came across an overturned truck with several injured GI's.

So Klinger says "But it's hopeless, but we can't give up"

I trust we have the same attitude while serving the Lord.!

Moderators - I will not object if you were to change the subject line from "hopless" to "hopeless"

There is no point when Salty would say, "I am sending good money after bad?"

"Chauvinist" means someone who continues to fight after the war is lost.

But it's hopless....

Yeah .... pretty much hopless.

"Chauvinist" means someone who continues to fight after the war is lost.

Does it, Bill? I never knew that. I thought that "Chauvinist" meant someone witrh an excessive sense of self-importance or superiority. I suppose such a sense could lead a person to continue to fight after the war is lost, but is such fighting the definition of "chauvinist"?

 

[Jerome]

Online Etymological Dictionary:

chauvinism
1870, "exaggerated, blind patriotism," from Fr. chauvinisme (1843), from Nicholas Chauvin, soldier, possibly legendary, of Napoleon's Grand Armee, notoriously attached to the Empire long after it was history. Popularized in France 1831 through Cogniard's vaudeville "La Cocarde Tricolore." Meaning extended to "sexism" via male chauvinism (1969). The name is a French form of L. Calvinus and thus Calvinism and chauvinism are, etymologically, twins.

First person to stop arguing gets a carrot!

Thanks, Jerome! I've used the Online Etymological Dictionary several times in the past, and should have done so this time.

(Gina - I love carrots; do I qualify for one? :laugh: )

 

[Gina B]

Yep, that qualifies! Here ya go, one good looking carrot for ya!

I thought it was about a small town that had the IHOP restaurant close down.
