WHY do some call a gun SHE????

[Ian Robertson]

I can't figure it out,,,, tell me WHY?????

 

[joe-nwt]

Same reason they call a shotgun a "shotty". They think they're being cute......

 

[Dogleg]

Because they can be contankerous, sometimes unpredictable, unwilling, unforgiving, and disappointing. Good looking ones aren't always good, and average can be exceptional. Some are expensive disasters. that must be sent packing. Some are totally out of my league, and know it. Just when you think you understand one, all the rules suddenly change, leaving you bewildered, confused, baffled.

Guns, on the other hand are great. Come to think of it, there are no similarities at all.

Why is Russian the Motherland while Germany is the Fatherland?

Why do people call their cars female pet names?

Why do i have the urge to not name my rifles Jim, frank or albert? Because, when i hold long hard objects that I love and get my willy going, id prefer them to be in the female context.

Its very simple;

She loves me- keeper

She loves me not- to the equipment exchange

Bwahaha, best answer.

 

[Win/64]

Because I don't like fondling "he's".

For the same reason ships, aircraft and hurricanes are named 'she'

 

[gitrdun]

I've slept with my gun .....I don't sleep with heeezz

 

[jjackman]

She cost me lots of money
I never get to play with her enough
I can never get enough of them
My wife is jealous when I spend time with them and not her

 

[Bearcat]

I have never heard a guy say HE is a real beauty whether talkin bout a guy or a gun!!. IT's a real beauty, or SHE is a real beauty.

They alternate male and female names for hurricanes now for some reason.

[the_big_mike]

there is a technical term for it... same reason why cars are shes, and boats too.

 

[Grouse Man]

I call my guns, guns, and my cars, cars. Feels too, 'Hollywood', for lack of a better word.
