North Carolinian by birth, southern by the grace of God.
I have friends and family in all points east, west, north, and south, and no place I'd rather live. The cities might be "in" the south, but most are not really "southern."

It was failing this test which dashed my dreams of being a SARC as it kept me from going to Navy dive school. Neither NAUI nor PADI had any issues with my subsurface vision. Anyway...
Ironically, later as a corpsman I had to administer the test, and had it memorized. If I could have memorized the book before I took the test I would have been fine.

This reminds me of a story from an older friend...
He was born in East Germany, eventually escaped, and came to the U.S. during the Vietnam War. Rather be drafted, he enlisted in the Army.
During boot camp, they asked if people were interested in Special Forces. He wasnt sure what that was but "raised his hand" anyway - probably because it got him a little extra pay. During the process, they asked if he knew a foreign language, which of course he did.
He was given the test for German. No problem.
Growing up in East Germany, he obviously knew Russian as well. So, he took that test.
He also knew some French. So, what the hell, he said give me that one too.
Part way through the French test, he realized all the questions were identical to and in the same order as the German and Russian tests.
So, after he aced French, he just kept going knowing the order of the questions and the answers.... Cantonese, Spanish, Italian, and Arabic...even though he didn't know a lick of any of them. Passed them all.
Fast forward through his SF career to 9/11. He's in IRR or something and gets a "call". "Col, we're in need and our records indicate you're fluent in Arabic?"
He's like, "Yeah, funny story..."

I don’t “clutch or kick” someone because my mom didn’t raise a bitch.

In its purest form, when the team narrows down to a 1v1, last man standing situation, some dick in chat will say/ type "clutch or kick" for the team to vote on whether they keep the player in the 1v1. Win the 1v1 or the team kicks you.
In broader terms, dickheads will use the phrase to call a vote on a certain player. I think I've seen it once or twice in Battlefield 4, never in Destiny 2, and I haven't played much COD. or Overwatch.
I think it is childish. You're playing what amounts to a pickup basketball game at the local Y and if someone can't hit free throws you want to throw them out of the gym? You have to be bitch made to act like that. Leave the game or finish it out, a new lobby is right around the corner.
It is supposed to be a popular term in CSGO, but I've never played that game, too many people view it as a religion.
