I just love the orwellian habit of turning every noun into a verb.

"Hatted it."
"Smoke it up."
"Just got SAW'd."
"Nading it."
"RPG'd it."

and so on.

It amuses me whenever I see Rhino using "epically" instead of specifically on these forums, although I suppose its probably not unintentional :p

It is a from of BTR but usually the designation is BRDM. Most people don't even know there is a BTR-40.

I have no idea what the different BRDM/BTR things are, hence I say ALL of the designations for it but with 'thingy' a lot in-between. And if it has a gun or not.
