"Gomer" is an old Army term for a guy who openly smokes at night, sleeps on guard duty, generally doesn't care and screws up a lot. Basically...an easy target who won't last long once the shooting starts. <br /> <br />"Gobbers" was supposed to be "Goobers", (finger slipped on the keyboard) who was of course...Gomer Pyle's cousin. <br /> <br />GERF's are Glassy Eyed Rail Fan's. <br /> <br />I know there are more terms out there but that's probably better suited to a different topic. <br /> <br />Run8John
