I’m just speaking in general… 

I’m just speaking in general… — a story telling tactic used by old southern people when they are actually reading you from head to toe; inside and out; and from womb to tomb. In many ways, this is worse than if they put both feet in your ass and yelled at you about your folly.

“I’m just speaking in general” has four parts: a detailed summary of your past character; a current analysis of your present actions based on things you did as a child; a detailed outcome of you actions based on probability and having seen your story played out in other people’s lives that they have seen with their own eyes; and, an admonition to change your ways if you don't want to end up like the person they are just “speaking in general about.
Boy, I ain’t got no hang ups; I’m too old to have hang ups. Hang ups is for young people — I’m just speaking in general… Oh I knew a boy like you: he was hard headed when he was a baby and he’s head headed now. You know what they say about hard headed people: A HARD HEAD MAKES A SOFT ASSSSSSSSSSS!!!! I’m just speaking in general. But, if you don’t want to end up like that; you better change your ways!!!!!!!!!

General Patton

General Patton's statement on 8 August 1945:
“The difficulty in understanding the Russian is that we do not take cognizance of the fact that he is not a European, but an Asiatic, and therefore thinks deviously. We can no more understand a Russian than a Chinaman or a Japanese, and from what I have seen of them, I have no particular desire to understand them, except to ascertain how much lead or iron it takes to kill them. In addition to his other Asiatic characteristics, the Russian have no regard for human life and is an all out son of bitch, barbarian, and chronic drunk."

He knew what was coming at:
“I understand the situation. Their the Soviet supply system is inadequate to maintain them in a serious action such as I could put to them. They have chickens in the coop and cattle on the hoof--that's their supply system. They could probably maintain themselves in the type of fighting I could give them for five days. After that it would make no difference how many million men they have, and if you wanted Moscow I could give it to you. They lived on the land coming down. There is insufficient left for them to maintain themselves going back. Let's not give them time to build up their supplies. If we do, then . . . we have had a victory over the Germans and disarmed them, but we have failed in the liberation of Europe; we have lost the war!"

How right the outspoken General was..
General Patton Knew the Russian could not be trusted.

Generation Kill 

The war miniseries from HBO that detailed the fucked-up road trip taken by the Marines of the First Reconnaissance Battalion during the US invasion of Mesopotamia.
Details the first months of Operation Iraqi Freedom in all its uncensored glory as seen from the eyes of a reporter embedded with Ricky Recon.
Based on a book Rolling Stone (Evan Wright) wrote.

AKA Kellan Lutz and Alexander Skarsgard's least gay-ass roles ever.
NAMBLA's (North American Man Boy Love Association) nefarious and various plots regarding world domination were first showcased on Generation Kill and thus Generation Kill deserves a haloed spot in the annals (and anals) of military history for detailing the extremely large cover-up of the rampant paedophilia of the liberal Communist dick-sucks of America.
- Summarized viewpoint of Philosopher Corporal Josh Ray Person (Recon Marine)

"You ain't nothin' if you ain't Generation Kill."

"I get a woody every time I get some, I must be Generation Kill."

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
