And a strawberry is just a little heart with acne.
My Dad only ever referred to the vehicles he was charged with as 'Blitzs'. I didn't even know there WAS any differing, and official, name until I joined this forum group. A lot of people here call em "Blitz Buggies". Jeeeeezus, I hate that name. Not sure why, perhaps it's that to me the inference sounds to suggest some trifling small vehicle. Whatever they may be, they aint small.
If the subject comes up, I always describe the truck (initially at least) as a CMP or full title of Canadian Military Pattern. Outside of the restoration fraternity, NO ONE KNOWS what those words or letters mean........Ever!. Until, that is, I go on to say Blitz. Then the penny drops, and suddenly everyone had a father, brother, boss or friend who HAD one. Notice I didn't say
HAS one.
Anyhow, looks and sounds like we, the individual, choose to keep which wording is convenient, and correct that which we disagree with ourselves, thereby retaining our individuality.
Hmmmm. Now tell me about your childhood.
