I would like to remind poepl that "anklehump(er/ing)" is *my* invention (2002), glad to see it has survived and thrived in the AH lexicon.  :aok

and there's a backstory to it as applicable to AH.   :old:

I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

That is, if they can smell the bait over the stench of their supremely squiffy, corrupt, crappy squadron...

OK so the debate is whether 71 Squadron or the Few are the greatest ever?  Greatest whatever?  Who cares?

I think I speak for my whole squad when I say we have never claimed to be the best ever and don't really want to be. We just enjoy flying and messing around with each other. I do however disagree with the way the few conduct themselves in special events and other circumstances (let us not mention the duelling bracket thread). They are bad news.

Squiffy also means something that is slightly 'off', and was my meaning in the word.

Jealousy sort of implies you were first, which you certainly weren't... If anything it is Bruv's jealousy that prompted him to create a poor imitation, a dim reflection if you will, of 71 Sqn and the DFC, because we didn't want him.
