Why is “running” the new term for using an item

I get someone asking the question If your talking about a truck, boat or other motorized vehicle, but this term is another example of an overused phrase that implies a level of importance that isn’t there.

The other day someone saw my Kuiu hat and asked “ what system was I running”?

How in the fark do you run a set of clothes? Same thing with my guns/bows…..” hey bud what rig you running”? I’m not running any of my weapons…I shoot them.


Your not impressing me with your hip lingo….speak in normal terms



Rant over

I’m running over to my buddies place tonight to help him hang a big [censored] fan in his shop, does that count as hip ?

The hipsters will be along shortly to explain why they're just so dang cool.

I don't like it when I am running.

It's just more of the "woke", hipster speak garbage. I just act like I don't know what they're trying to say.

I’ve been using the term most of my life,

I’ve run about every truck made.

I’ve always run a skeeter

I run a Prodrive

I’ve had best luck running toyos.

I've got the runs.

If I'm running someone needs to shoot that damn bear.

Do not run it into the ground.

I think the main reason for the use of that term is to upset boomers.

I'm running out of beer! Better run to the store.

I’m not running with hipster so I have not heard the word used inappropriately.

I would expect to be asked "bro" questions if I was walking around in a Kuiu hat.

Why is that

Because it’s not country enough.

I get that question, I had a guy ask me what my favorite pieces of stone glacier where the other day after seeing my hat. We talked about packs and my core system. He was really thankful

I think for some seeing a very niche specific brand such as Kuiu, Sitka, SG, etc It’s general curiosity of backcountry hunting. You and I are fortunate and get to hunt out west a bunch, that knowledge is very helpful to someone that wants to go and doesn’t know where to start or what to cut corners on from a cost factor

A Kuiu hat, a Salt life decal and Yeti cooler are a pretty good Bro starter pack.

Thank God that man ran into you. He might not have been able to make it through life without your expert advice

I get the feeling this thread has run its course!

Lol, that’s best you got? You hunt out of state? Mountains, Alaska, Canada etc?

I get it, mountains aren’t your thing but being a dick because someone wants to learn something is extremely petty.

But that’s what you are, petty about everything you have or don’t have, just one giant projection of justifications for its inadequateness

What a waste

Nice word salad! Right in time for lunch.

I live in the mountains, Palo Pinto Mountains to be exact.

I am guessing you and many of us can both PTL for that.

Exactly. It's bad for the knees.

I want an Aermoter windmill hat, if it had a sweat-wicking inside head band. That dam sure should be "country" enough. I've bought enough parts they ought to send me a free one, but alas, the days of free caps are all but over.

The hipsters are now calling an abortion "healthcare". But I digress.

Like a said you don’t get, just projecting at others lives in general, I’m headed to gym.

You work out bro?

Peloton

Yelp that’s it. Nailed it

Have to say I wouldn't know what they were asking about until this thread but I would have to say a Sitka, Core4, King of the Mountain, Badlands, Kenetrek system.

We tend to mix and match up here.

Dude just said he lived in the mountains.

When my ditch fills up with water I’m in the swamps ole son

Never run! It makes your beer foam.

Never run! It makes your beer foam.

Say's the guy who has no location. Fitting.

As Bill would say "look it up". I didn't name "Palo Pinto Mountains State Park". The State of Texas did.

yes, all 1,400 feet of them. Do you have to use special recipes at that high elevation?

Never claimed I lived on Everest. They are still mountains though, so are the Chisos, Baby head, Davis, Franklin and so on. What do I know though, you're the Frisco Mountains Sherpa lol

Bet winters up there are brutal.

I live in town. Just Regular ole town folks I’m not near the man, hunter, outdoorsman and bad mofo that you are.

I am a grey. I use "running" in place of "performing as expected". Now I feel dirty.

Now he's quoting the old narcissist. There's a pair to draw from.

Same. Like I tell the guys at work..... you ever see me running, you better be running too. Don't ax no questions, just run.

Oh,

Well, I guess I ain’t country then



But I am warm and dry on the side of the mountain

Probably the same folks that wear their "operator" gear at the gun range.
I never thought to wear a vest with plates while zeroing a scope.
I guess if it makes someone happy, well. . . . .
Don't forget to wear your spurs in Walmart shopping for a box of wine

Takes a whole new meaning on off shore platform.

Lmao. My house elevation is higher than that

But I only live in the Hill Country.

Now I know where to go for expert mountain man advice.

'Know a guy that used to go to our church. Loves to wear his spurs up to the bar at the Cordillera Country Club. He's a roper! 'Married a Houston debutante who's grandmother owned the ranch the development sits on. At least he married well.

From someone who has mastered the concept of running his mouth.

Yes Sir it does, you can go from running to swimming real quick lol. God forbid.

I be running to the Cody Jinks concert tonight. Running my ropers and a nice button up shirt. The GF hates it when I run my overalls in public, they embarrass her. I tell her I run things the way I want to around hera, and what I say goes.......right out the window.

We need to run Biden down the road.

Skinner, I’ve never seen you in person or a picture of you not wearing overalls



I feel for ol’girl, sounds like a good one though.

Yeh, I'll let her stick around for a while. She likes to hunt.

Few weeks ago at a crawfish boil while wearing overalls. (Dude you eat 5-7lbs of bugs you want that lose fitting waist) someone told me that next year I did not have to dress up so much as it wasn’t a tuxedo event. I said good these are hot next year I’ll wear my convertible Overalls and no shirt.

I have used “running” when referring to what tires I have for decades. Other than that I don’t use the term much.

I like the new standard. I have a couple of trees in my yard so I live in the woods.

Tactifool asked me what I was "running" at the range one day. I took my white sunglasses off, In my best early 80's Austin, Texas Wooderson drawl I said, "Let me tell you what Melba Toast is packing, I got Tikka CTR, 20 inch med weight barrel, 1-10 twist, 2.5 lb trigger, got me a Leupy VX5HD on top, pushing 165 Gr of Hornady SST bad medicine 2900 FPS......I'm talking some F-n' muscle. Fist Bump, He said cool.

See that’s a perfectly acceptable scenario in which to use the term.

yall are running this into the ground

I laugh at folks like this. Most folks in the Army prefer doing everything “slick”…. I hope i never have to wear any sort of ballistic protection ever again.

We're going to run up to the ranch in the morning and move the water.
We live in a valley at 7,220 ft elevation, does that make us mountain folks too?

I'm gonna run this thread up the flag pole and see if I wanna come back to it.

I’ve never heard it from a hipster

I was excited to get to this thread and y’all are mostly really going way off course.
OP only used the clothing as an example. His point was using the term “running” instead of something more appropriate like “using”.
I never heard the term till I got on this forum and I hear it on here a lot. I’ve never used it. The guys in firearms seem to use it the most so I assume it’s kind of special lingo so you know who’s in your club. Maybe like pig Latin or gang talk. NOTHING WRONG WITH IT but to everyday people any specialized lingo is like a foreign language. Kinda like some hunters will say they got a “50’s” buck instead of saying “150’s.buck”. Just from what I can tell on THF I have assumed it was mostly younger guys, especially into guns, and other guys that are into lots of bells and whistles toys.

So, how long you been using.

The term "Running" doesn't bother me

What bothers me is "battle worn" stuff for sale

Battle worn triggers me

Good one, Creek. “Using” in that sense would be slang or lingo and “not appropriate” for every day conversation.
Unless you “use”. Since you used the term, I should ask you how long you been using…..

Never. 'Can't stand to even see a "kit" in a movie. Freaks me the hell out. "Ray" is a perfect example. I love jazz and R&B. So many great artists thought they couldn't get by without it. Extremely sad.

“Kit”, see, there you go. Never heard the word.
In the restaurant business a commonly used slang term is “86”. It means you are out of that item. Once, we ran out of chicken livers so someone alerts every one by hollering “86 livers”. Well, everyone in any restaurant “club/click “ knew we were out but a Nigerian cook that was new started to batter up 86 orders of livers.
Suggestion mine, know your audience when you use slang/lingo…..

It's not a new term.

I always was disappointed to hear “No 29” after running someone.

Oh god I hate that term. Drives me nuts. It’s it that hard to put a “1” on front of the last two letters?

Someone say “ I think he’ll go in the 60’s” I’m thinking they are talking about a yearling buck.


Also, I’ve never heard a serious hunter use the term, it’s all been a bunch of wannabes trying to sound cool

must be a thing.

Beats being broke down

You're a hipster.
