It's like yelling "Four!" in golf, and it's more universal than "Look out below!"

Did you know that Skull and Bones stole his skull? And allegedly Prescott Bush(Bush sr's father) was one of the members who participated in the theft?

I didn't remember the answer, but I remember that The Straight Dope covered it decades ago.

The first US paratrooper was expected to say something important before his first jump but couldn't think of anything to say and just yelled "Geronimo!" because he saw the movie of the same name before. That's literally the reason lol

I laughed so hard I actually fell down. My mom always told me this could happen and I never believed her.

Fortunately, I caught myself in the countertop.

Probably racism.

Most phrases derive from horrible places.

Look up rule of thumb, then never use it again.

Look up Gator Bait too and see why Florida was pressured to stop chanting that.
