Ask the next U.S. Marine you meet if you can polish his gun. Tell a Navy Captain he has a really big boat. Chances are you will at least get schooled on the differences.

"This is my rifle (grabs M1/etc), this is my gun (grabs crotch), this is for fighting (rifle), this is for fun (crotch)" Only Navy guys can get away with calling them "Boats", everyone else has to call them "Ships" :-) -- You can't trust your best friends, your five senses, only the little voice inside you that most civilians don't even hear -- Listen to that.
