FRAG...

Recommended Posts

I was wondering where the word frag comes from.
Does it stand for something (f.r.a.g.)?, is it the alteration of another word?, is it used in certain circles (military, etc.)?

I don't know, do you?

I think it was used in the vietnam war when soldiers killed thier own commanding officer.
I could be wrong though.

Hey!

I knew it was slang for the killing of a soldier on your side, or taking out your commanding officer, but didn't know it derived from fragmentation grenades. That's fricking interesting.

For your information, the mancubus says "Mungha hue ah".

Wait, that doesn't mean anything.

No, actually the Mancubus says Humbdgy Büreau. You have to accentuate the 'bdg' for it to sound correct.

That's what it means, but I don't think it was limited to Vietnam. :|
