The idea seems rather long winded. Sorry for the firearm grammar Nazism, but I am a big firearms guy and it drives me nuts when people say "clip." |
It totally doesn't matter these days. I'm big on firearms too, but terminology just takes on new meaning over time. Just look at the word "gay" it used to mean "happy" but now it means....well you know. There are lots of terms that just end up taking on multiple meanings. "Clip" is one of them.
