I'm imagining an old British guy with the same sticker on his Jaguar, except the word is "Lieutenant".

@Anonymous, you do know that the British pronounce it JAG-you-er, not JAG-wahr, like we do in the States, right?

What else did you expect?
We speak English over here.

That just reinforces my point. Now I'm off to schedule my bath and check my stance on missile privacy.

This is pure hyper bowl

And it is 'Jag you are', not 'jag whar'.
Taken from the Indian people who actually have jaguars (Indian Indian not indian.
And Niss-Ann, not 'knee-san'.
Taken from the Japanese who actually make Nissan (Japanese Japanese, not Japanese).
And 'Loo-ten-ant', not 'loof tenant'.
Taken from all the armies that existed long before the United States was invaded by the Dutch, then the French, then the British (Coloniser Coloniser, not colonizer)

My ex-wife, mother of my children, known her since I was 16, makes the very best pecan pie in the world.
That is an actual fact, and is in the Guinness Book of World Records.

See, the problem is, those younger "jaguars" had a different pronunciation. It was totally like Freddie Mercury, and his dad's problems with his name changes, per the not-at-all-accurate not-exactly-a-documentary.

"You are jag-you-ars!" the oldsters say, and the beatnik youth speak something they call poetry (even though it doesn't effing rhyme or anything!!!), and start snapping their fingers, with a loud "JAG-WAhRS!!!!!" that they really only say, because it annoys the heck out of the daddy-os and memaws.
