Last night I was watching some movie, it bothered me so much I can't even remember what it was about.
You would think in the USMC and particularly in Vietnam, where nicknames were used because you didn't want to know anybodies real name, like not knowing their name could keep you from remembering them if they were killed.
You would think I would have been woody, or woodpecker or something, but I wasn't, I was "chết"
pronounced cái or CHIT by the Vietnamese and French but mispronounced "CHET" like the name by the Americans
I had forgot all about that until I heard it in the movie.
It means death/dead/die/expire/lifeless/deceased/etc
depending on what other words it is used with
its like we might say "the grime reaper"
like the "Ace of Spades" was the "death card" although I only left one my first time because it was supposed to ward off death if you did. I used them for target practice (still do) but I didn't leave one, I was supposed to be invisible not call attention to myself.
anyway, the whole thing brought back nightmares all night and I woke up like I was drowning.
Now I have to avoid certain smells/songs and now words, it just gets harder and darker

You ever feel like you have gravel in your head?
Like your brain is being pulled across a cheese grater?
