    "The squadron ultimately chose “Romo’s Bitch” — an apparent reference to his love for the Dallas Cowboys and their quarterback, Tony Romo."

    Man, the navy is losing it's touch.
    I would have named him "Romo's Homo".

    No, that's an offensive slur. Not allowed to have any of those...

    Abusing Yellow is meant to be a labor of love, not something you sell to the highest bidder.

    navy has got some long callsigns...should just be one word.
    The human mind cannot grasp the causes of phenomena in the aggregate. But the need to find these causes is inherent in man’s soul. And the human intellect, without investigating the multiplicity and complexity of the conditions of phenomena, any one of which taken separately may seem to be the cause, snatches at the first, the most intelligible approximation to a cause, and says: “This is the cause!"

    Meh......

    I remember 15 years ago, that term was routinely mentioned on T.V..

    It was used as a shortened word for "homosexual" the same way "hetro" was used as a shortened term for "heterosexual".
    Now people tell me it's an offensive term.

    I wouldn't mind political correctness if it didn't change all the time to absurd levels.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the term "gay" or "homosexual" becomes 'offensive' in the near future.

    I'd suggest "Homer," as in homersexual...

    Lots of famous people named Homer. Homer Simpson, Homer, and some other guy named Homer something.

    That was suggested. So was Bloody. So were too many horrible ones to go through.

    I bet he'll get a new one before the end of the year.
