♥ Who's This Roger Fellow, Anyway? ♥

Lol. Best and funniest answer to that question gets an award. :D I'm so tired. I started back at school today with Andi my stuffed animal bear (yes I do actually carry a stuffed bear from class to class) It's spirit week. Today was homecoming re-run day (from two years ago). So our whole school was filled with country-folk. Lol. Tomorrow's hunting day. I don't know whether I should wear my camo pants or be a ninja (they hunt people...:P). I'm hoping to make a big hit. But I'm really looking forward to Friday, Spirit Day. I get to spray my hair blue and spazz out at school. :lol: And then the day after that is the Sock Hop dance. I'm looking forward to that. I discovered that the girl I like, well, she likes me back, but she's not allowed to date. So we're just going with a couple of our friends. It'll be fun. Lol. Thad (our vice-principal) is gonna teach us how to dance to the music. It'll be...interesting. We're all way excited. Apparently about 300 of the 500 high school kids are going (that's a lot for a school event). Usually we get very few, but it's only our school's third dance ever, so I think people are very excited.

I say ninja. It's a fairly original connection there, in my opinion. Much more than just wearing hunter garb.

 

I hope you have fun!

Roger is primarily a common first name of English, French, and Catalan usage, from the Germanic elements hrod (fame) and ger (spear) meaning "famous with the spear". The Latin form of the name is Rogerius, as used by a few medieval figures.

The name Roger was transmitted to England by the Normans after the Norman Conquest along with other names such as William, Robert, Richard, and Hugh. It replaced its Anglo-Saxon cognate, Hroðgar.

[edit]Voice procedure

 

Roger means "GUM" (got your message), "heard you" on the radio in both military- and civilian aviation. This usage comes from the initial R of received: R was called Roger in then-current radio alphabets such as the Joint Army/Navy Phonetic Alphabet. It is commonly followed by the word that to form "Roger That". It is also often shortened in writing to "rgr". R is Romeo in the modern NATO phonetic alphabet; the updated phrases now in use are, for example, "I'll Romeo that" or "Romeo and Out".

Contrary to popular belief, Roger does not mean "I will comply". That distinction goes to the acronym wilco, a contraction of the phrase "will comply".
