does this annoy anyone else?

[bitter clinging swiftie]

one thing that REALLY gets my goat is when I hear people(rappers are the WORST) refer to magazines as "clips".....like "i popped the clip in my glock"............NO YOU DIDNT, you inserted a magazine into your glock, you moron.
a clip is a feeding device that you load firarms with internal magazines into...for example I use stripper cvlips to load both my mosin and my SKS. however, you insert a MAGAZINE into an AK/AR/FN-FAL
I swear these people are so dumb.

The clip is the thingy that goes in the handle, right?

I used to be just as pedantic but now I really don't let it bother me any longer. Meanings are altered/amended all the time. Take the word 'decimate', up until WWI it only meant to reduce by ten percent in a purely military context now it means almost total destruction, a gun was an artillery piece and heavy naval guns and AR15s used to be called a sporting rifle now some call it an assault rife. Such is life.
