The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Trump, 79, is ready to add another career accomplishment to his name as he called himself 'THE GOAT' – which stands for the greatest of all time

In light of tariff and Iran wars, is THE GOAT going to be the American equivalent of ‚Gröfaz‘?

Gröfaz (or GröFaZ) is a sarcastic German acronym meaning "Größter Feldherr aller Zeiten" ("Greatest Field Commander of all Time"). It was a mocking term used in secret by the German population during World War II to ridicule Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime's obsession with complex abbreviations.

Key Facts:

Origin: The term mocked Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, who had unironically called Hitler the "Greatest Field Commander of all Time" after the successful Western Campaign in 1940.

Timing: It spread widely as dark humor among the public after the catastrophic German defeat at the Battle of Stalingrad in 1943.

Meaning: It highlighted Hitler's actual lack of military competence and his disastrous strategic decisions that led to Germany's defeat.
