[QUOTE="JimJimmyJames, post: 600000, member: 11425"] Well, we call delivery trucks "package cars", we call switchers "shifters", etc. Plus we have all kinds of acroynyms that, combined with our own labels we give to activites and objects, gives UPS a unique "language". I take offense at your mischaracterization of Ike. Not only did he lead us to victory in WW2, he presided over a period of time in America that is often looked back with fondness (for example, the t.v. show "Happy Days"). For a large part of America, the decade ultimately represents the "American Dream", when what we term as the middle class was at it's most prosperous. Don't fall for all the liberal left slandor about the fifties. As for these fakakta "derby" jackets, I have never heard that term in all my life until your post. And I have worked for UPS for 22 years. The picture you provided as an example looks to me like a "bomber" jacket. UPS still provides a bomber type jacket, but without a dress shirt type collar.
