I'm amused at the synthetic indignation of professional umbrage takers
about "Geronimo!" US Army paratroopers have been yelling it since WW II.

My neighbor Jerry* said it doesn't bother him -- he kinda likes it.
But he is amused by the professional umbrage takers.

The really silly thing about it is that it's a Spanish name that dates
back to the 1400s or earlier and wasn't the real name of the famous
Apache.

"Geronimos" real name was Goyahkla. And I bet you the ****ing whinging
'Native American' groups wouldn't even know that.

That was a holy symbol in a lot of parts of the world before it was
corrupted by the Nazis. Maybe some day long after I'd dead the Nazi
corruption will be forgotten and it will go back to being a holy symbol
but I'm not holding my breath.

In Japan it's still used to mark the location of Buddhist temples as one
example of a use that never did take on the Nazi corruption.
