Bohdana which I translate into english as “Artillery Mother”.
‘Big Gun Mommy’
I prefer my translation.
BGM is a great acrononym I gotta admit but also it makes it sound like a mother with big guns whereas my name is meant to emphasize that self propelled armored artillery is itself the essence of being a mother distilled into a weapon.
In a related note, the origin of the word “smother” came from the phrase “shrapnel mother” being smushed into a collaqiual name for the verb that is artillery.
Aha, I was mostly just trying to get it as close to ‘big dommy mommy’ as possible, rofl.
I absolutely do not know any Ukrainian at any kind of functional level, hahah.
I did not know that origin of smother, that is interesting!
One thing that I do remember seeing, at one point… I can’t remember if it was a unit, an operation, or a piece of equipment… but somebody had translated it into English as roughly ‘Righteous Gale’…
Which struck me as pretty close to the original meaning in Japanese of ‘kamikaze’: divine wind, a cyclone sent by spirits/deities, or the spirits/deities manifesting themselves as the storm.
USA: “Medium tank, M4”
UK: “SHERMAN TANK”
They call it a Sherman because it’s sheer manliness.
They call it a Grant because it is a Great Big ANTitank target.
Unfortunately it is very stimulating to the rivets once the shells start hitting :(
Also I am not so sure about them calling it a Sherman because of the shear manliness of it, because this guy is surely the most “sure man” of them all and he gets no tanks at all.
Twenty years ago, Santo (Sandy) LaMantia was just happy to be vice president of engineering. A musician for most of his life, LaMantia was well-versed in the product line at Shure, so when the opportunity to join the engineering department came up, it was an easy decision.
I don’t mean this as a dig at Shure or any of its CEOs, honestly they are a kickass microphone company the Shure SM58 alone has empowered more people to be the most ridiculous and weird version of themselves than pretty much any other object in modern history. Any category, iconic guns/weapon systems, scientific devices, medicine, whatever, put it up against Shure SM58, Shure SM58 wins easy.
Pretty sure an SM57/58 could stand up to a Sherman
Yes because nothing blitzes harder and with more unflinching initiative than a mechanized Electronics Warfare SM57/58 Brigade.
Whatever lethality you possess now is guranteed to be obsoleted by the very nature of their ordinance long before you can get your armor in position.
Anal lol
Duuude, what does mine say? Sweet! What does mine say?
“yes I said yes I will Yes.”
