question for geronimo applehy

[TEN-E-C]

geronimo where did you pick up the word DILLIGAF. Here's the reason I ask. I was stationed at Fort Sill in 1977, myself and two friends made up this word for an IG inspection. We posted it on our desk in big bold letters, to see what would happen. Every officer in the inspection looked at the word, but none would ask what it meant. Just thought you would like to know the origin of the word.

Well even if he doesn't you now have my interest. What would be the odds of him turning out to be one of the other guys from that time? This is worth keeping an eye on.

That was one of my thoughts also. The other two was Sarge Waters and Sarge Williams. There was a third, can't recall his name we called him Moose Man.

Maybe we should have put a patent on the word. We might be famous now LMAO. Makes me wonder how a word we made up in 1977 made it's way across the pond. At least I get a smile every time I see it being used.But you know how it go's no fame, all I can say about it is DILLIGAF
