political siding 

A person's choice of whether to be a republican, democrat, or neither.

Used instead of "political party", because, for example, I am not with a political PARTY or GROUP. I am just choosing what kind of side I like.

"I choose to be neither, but it appears as though I lean more toward republican beliefs, such as business, religion, and most of all, guns. ^-^ "

APC 

Codename initials for an Armored Personnel Carrier, a type of armored vehicle commonly used for transporting military personnel.

"A Hummer isn't a good example of an APC because it's not so well-armored; it's meant for high-speed transportation. But since there are many different kinds of Hummers, maybe one could be souped-up to withstand bulet-barrages."

Marlboro 

Often pronounced "mahr-broh".

Marlboro is a cigarette brand, perhaps the most famous of all those cig brands out there, like Newport, Camel, Pall Mall, Winston, and all those other millions of brands.

Marlboro comes in red (normal tobacco), blue (mentholated), white (not as strong as marb red), and their new No.27 (which tastes a lot like marb red).

"Marb reds taste good. ^_^ I don't really smoke much though. I'm more of a social smoker. When I'm on free days like weekends or vacations away from my school, I don't smoke."

schutzstaffel 

shuhtz-stah-fohl
shuhtz-stah-fuhl (?)
shootz-stah-fohl

Nazi Germany's most powerful military force, and also Hitler's prefered guard. They had their own ranking system as well. They were, and still are, referred to as the SS.

According to a certain WWII Germany-related website, the SS were soldiers of a code of honor. Very few or none had any relation to The Holocaust (yeah right, lookit Untersturmfuhrer Amon Goeth). Some ancestors of the SS claim that their grandfathers, who served in the SS, fought solely for their country. Interesting stuff to think about (?).

"They were powerful soldiers; we should give'em that. But the idea that the SS had 'little or no relations to The Holocaust' is something that will probably be questioned for a very long time. I don't prefer to talk about this because, seeing as how 'nazi' is such a POWERFUL word, anyone would think I'm a nazi just for the slightest compliment toward a german soldier during WWII. Damn conclusive bastards..."
