I guess the rank of "Master Chief Petty Officer" must really piss them off then.

Anyone who knows me knows that when I call them "Chief" a rash of shit is to follow. All in good humor of course.
Chief cook and bottle washer here. No soup for you. Next!

The actual word "chief" originated in the 14th century, meaning leader or
chieftan of the various klans and tribes of Europe. Nothing to do with the
North American people at the time. It was a viable and normal title and
was then expanded to include North American Indian leaders when Europeans
settled here. It was NOT a part of any Indian language. European genesis.
There are morons running around inflaming other morons to agitate and disrupt
our culture. :issues:
I wonder if Jeep will stop producing their new for '17 color "Chief", which is on the Wranglers. :shrug:
i wasn't aware that native americans spoke English before Europeans arrived in north america. :slap:

And apparently, pretty damn successful at it. Which is in itself scary as hell.

"Wrangler?" Like in a cowboy wrangler? That's highly offensive. I'm triggered and going to my safe space, you internet bully.

The word/title of chief goes back way past Native Americans....back to early man in fact. Early human settlers in the British Isles all had chieftains of their clan..... Stupid pc bullshit.
:rubbish:

My great uncle was a Chief Master Sergeant in the Air Force, they'd love that.

I guess corporate America needs to rename the following:
CEO
CFO
CTO
COO
but they can keep:
CDO
Look it up. ;)
