Yeah my EX wife laid a similar line on me several years ago; we had just moved to Indiana and money was tight due to the expenses involved in moving, etc. and one day she came home to find a LARGE Igloo cooler sitting on the kitchen floor. Understand we had no need for another ice chest and one this big is essentially useless for any purpose I have. She immediately starts chewing my ass over buying that "stupid cooler" with money being tight and all and she knows it cost well over $100. She even commented on the large NAPA logo on the front of it and asked why I'd be stupid enough to pay NAPA to advertise their product. It took her about 10 minutes to spool down enough to ask if I had anything to say for myself; my response was simply "I won it in a drawing".
Then she was pissed because I allowed her to carry on like an idiot (her word) for 10 minutes!

I played rugby at Kadena AB Oki. we were playing on a Sunday at Camp Butler, as we took our half time beer break, a platoon of Marines come running by in formation....Back in the 80's, "Ate Up' was a common term in the military. Pretty much meant "100% sold one's soul to a particular branch of service".
To us degenerates in the chair force, Marines were the poster children of Ate Up!
HOLY NECROPOST, BATMAN!!I played rugby at Kadena AB Oki. we were playing on a Sunday at Camp Butler, as we took our half time beer break, a platoon of Marines come running by in formation....
Later after the game were taking our after game beer break, and the platoon comes running back down the hill......now That's ate up!
Military in my experience."You're ate up"? Is that a Southern expression?
"Ate up" is synonymous with "hard core," and "gung ho" in my view. Some are all three.Military in my experience.
This thread just jumped from 2018 to today. Is that a new record?HOLY NECROPOST, BATMAN!!
I've seen some over 10 years.This thread just jumped from 2018 to today. Is that a new record?
Six years later I get my answer!Military in my experience.
Mine was the same way. That was before I found out I was gonna need to number them.. My first wife was no fun at all.
Let me rock you, FuPa CONMy wife says I'm ate up every time I yell EXERCISE-EXERCISE-EXERCISE. She really hates it when I put the THREATCON signs around the house. We are real-world THREATCON BRAVO, exercise THREATCON DELTA is coming later.
(I know it went from Threat Condition to Force Protection Condition many years ago when I was active duty. FPCON doesn't spell anything, THREATCON does.)
Or it can simply mean crazy. From the context, I'd say that was the intent in this case."Ate up" is synonymous with "hard core," and "gung ho" in my view. Some are all three.
