685: Schwack the Nose
Rear Admiral John Kirby, Schwacking Noses, Pentagon Body Counts
Pentagon spokesperson Rear Admiral John Kirby is mocked for using the term "schwack every nose" to describe killing ISIL fighters. The hosts use the Urban Dictionary to investigate the etymology of "schwack" and criticize the Pentagon's refusal to provide body counts. They argue that the goal of "degrading and destroying" is a vague metric designed to prolong military engagement.
