“Gung ho” is from a Chinese dialect, not Japanese, despite that one movie where the Americans have to work in a Japanese company’s car factory. It came into the American slang vocabulary during World War Two, when the mainland Chinese became our allies.
Tarzan, those have to be pre-teen, teenagers, such displays are a little, well, odd to say the least. Surely you guys must recall the old WW2 movie, ‘Gung Ho!’: The Story of Carlson’s Makin Island Raiders (1943) …. The action in this movie takes place in the Makin Group of Islands. The Butaritari Atoll. That was a Randolph Scott “true” story.

Will the kid be happy to see her; so we can wrap this up…or will he be a pain; so we can have some mother-son drama?
