Patrol Names

A few weeks ago my son told me that their new patrol name was the "Ghillies". For those of you like me, who had no idea what a "Ghillie" is, here is the definition from Wikipedia:

A ghillie suit, yowie suit, or camo tent is a type of camouflage clothing designed to resemble heavy foliage. Typically, it is a net or cloth garment covered in loose strips of cloth or twine, sometimes made to look like leaves and twigs, and optionally augmented with scraps of foliage from the area.

Since I didn't know what  a ghillie was and certainly didn't know how to spell it before looking it up, I just entered "gilly" into Google. Interestingly, a "gilly" is also slang for drugs and a derogatory name for Hispanics. :(

Urban Dictionary (Caution - Profanity)

These poor ten year old boys have no idea what else it means, so should I say something or just ignore it? They will have this patrol name for eight more years.

On a side note, I found the perfect patrol for myself and the other leaders. (Cute, huh?)
