A lot of not so good things happened to me in skydiving. So I acquired the moniker Shark Bait. The highlights are landing on a cactus, breaking my tail bone, taking a foot to the face while performing 4 way maneuvers and subsequently making my parachute bloody. Also having a reserve deployment at less than a 1000 feet so on and so forth.
 
Starfish, huh? that's pretty unfortunate.

It's almost like the rich people that decide these things don't have at least ONE person on their staff that can explain the concept of a colloquialism.
 
Like when UPS started using the call sign "Brown Tail" boy did we have fun with that one, it didnt last very long!!!!!!!!111

I seriously feel like I could make a living as a consultant that reviews names, slogans, and other stuff like that for businesses to make sure there are no hidden meanings.
 
Stigma Accountability Consultant?

My mother, god bless her, is horrible. She is obviously pretty out of touch with a lot of things. She just stumbles onto these things completely randomly so she doesn't know what she is saying has a more subtle meaning. I feel like I am constantly having to just tap her on the arm and shake my head.

"No, Mom. That is not appropriate."
"Why?"

Sigh, Ok I guess I have to explain to my mother what a fluff girl is...

Just the other day I was at our library and saw that they have an entire aisle of "Adult Movies & Music."

Reminds me of sitting with the wife's very conservative family at dinner when her sister (who has about 37 kids) said "I just really want to go out and see an adult movie." I about lost it.
 
Public Service Announcement:

There's a difference between an FAA-approved callsign to use over the radio in lieu of aircraft type and Reg number, and the goofy name that some folks are assigned that they wear on their flight suits.
