Parrotting
I was stationed in Guadalcanal as part of a PBY squadron, VP12 Blackcats. This was while the Japs were still around. Our unit had a camp area. We had parrots down there and someone had trained one to talk. The Bird sat on top of this commanders tent and had a steady string of words to the effect of "Screw The Skipper"
Only that was the polite way to say it. and the parrot had had no courtesy training, LOL.
