In FOB Rob in Helmand province in 2008, we could orient ourselves in relation to "The Tits". Two large mountains near Hyderabad.

My first thought was this is used often in the competitive gaming community where quick and clear communication is vital, and a good practice space for this skill. The other place I recognize this is this is how Michael Scott identifies and remembers peoples names in The Office.

Same here, since high school, my friends and I have known places such as Hill 52 (there are no other "hill" names) and Slick Root (from something that happened there).

Interesting.... I work as a civilian security guard. and apparently this is something we've been doing by instinct. Any of my guys could tell you where "Constipation," "Fish Sticks," or the "Psych Ward" are. They could also tell you exactly who "Bike Guy," "Tan Pants Guy," and the "Camera Coomer" are.

I want to say that it was in the book Low Level Hell (or maybe Chickenhawk?) That one of the main rivers in the AO had a distinctive S curve along the east-west axis. This unique bend was affectionately named "The Testicles" given its resemblence and it wasn't uncommon to hear scout pilots giving contact reports using The Testicles as a reference point

I don't think it was Chickenhawk, but maybe worth a 3rd read just to find out.

"Unique and likely vulgar names" It was not a half second before I thought of this rather obscene mountain me and my buddies affectionately named "Dick Mountain". Listen, it even had two hills one either side to be the nuts. "Left Nut" and "Right Nut".

Went to a religious private school for a few years that had excessive similarity to the en vogue authoritarian thinking of today. My favorite pastime in detention was coming up with increasingly creative ways to avoid detection by the overzealous jack booted teachers and snitches. Across the span of high school I became very effective at communicating and rabble rousing freely without detection and taught the methods to my friends. It wasn’t until 2 years ago or so that I realized that three years of my life I hated actually prepared me pretty well for what seems to be already here. Being able to communicate via limited context and on the fly language obfuscation is a pretty handy tool. The English language is a womb fertile for manipulation, as other elements have already demonstrated.

Surprised you didn’t include some of the historic nicknames that have become commonplace. The three sisters that comprise The Grand Tetons immediately come to mind.

Yeah true, there are millions of examples; listing even a few of them would result in a very long video 😂 👍

Ha, it works. I remember my friend across the street and I were listening to his Marine father read a letter home from his eldest son who was going through basic training at the time. The son related that he was humping hills and referred to a particular hill by name. That hill was called Mount MFer and I still remember hearing about it clear as day 40+ years later.

I just found this video and I’m from Germany. I grew up in a small village and that’s something that we already learned as small boys from the slightly elder boys. Now 30 years later, I still do it with my wife. We Mountainbike a lot on unnamed mountains and trails we all gave individual names that nobody could figure out. Some names we have are Homer Simpson trail, a mountain we call Bärenkopf (head of a bear) a trail we call Hasenspring (rabbitjump in the literal way) and many other weird stuff like Schäferstuhl (shepherds chair)

Wow, this video really brought back some memories! Also created a problem! I told the wife I was going to watch a quick video and 90 minutes later I am still here!!! Thanks.

I'm bad with names , so I give the neighbors nicknames... there is this one guy i been calling kenny rogers for years... oddly enough that ended up being his name...

an application of this that may surprise you is video game communities, CS:GO most prominently, having nicknames for what feels like every pixel on every map, that you're expected to learn very quickly when starting to play, or else you're a massive burden to the team because you can not give or receive information, and you certainly can't do it as quickly yet as precisely.

So when I draw pps on the map in arma I’m actually being a tactics, genius?

And now you know how Grand Teton National Park got its name.

sounds identical to map callouts in an FPS

It's out by nipple rock sir...😎

Anyone that's been to the jungle warfare school at Ft Sherman Panama knows well the map they gave to teach land nav. Guess the leadership was less uptight back then.

I just picture some bored Lance Corporal, staring into the distance with an empty face, muttering completely out of the blue: "Mount Dipshit" without further elaboration But what you said is so true, sadly I can only refer to my experience from ArmA but I remember playing a campaign with my unit and someday we called a rather featureless spot in the middle of a town "Point Fuckey" and even 2 months later you still immediatly recognize it even though the marker on it is long gone

We did this at our Iraq Police station. Our first day there. As MPs we operate as a squad primarily. With 4 teams of 3. So we all had a tower in a corner. First day we all came up with names for important landmarks in our sectors. We named one of the towers "Heaven" bc it had almost no cover leading to where it is and you have to climb a ladder with no cover, if you got hit up there you were going to...💀 bc no one could get to you. There was a field we named shitstain field bc they used natural fertilizer and it smelled. There were 2 round abouts on our way from the fob to the IP Station. One was big boob the other was small boob. Big was a bigger circle. These were the formal checkpoints we used with the company TOC.
