On The Late Show last night, Stephen Colbert commented on the appearance of the word warfighters in a presidential tweet:
“Warfighters? Nobody calls them that. I’m pretty sure that’s the name of the generic video game your grandmother buys when you ask for Call of Duty. ‘It was in a three-dollar bin outside of Jo-Ann Fabrics.’”Watch here.
Warfighter does appear in both movie and video game titles. But as Language Log pointed out in 2012, the word has its origin in military culture.
As regular readers already know, I made a post about warfighter yesterday.
