    This screams boot to me, lol. I bet you they financed it at something ridiculous too.

    Is there an r/JustBootThings on Lemmy or Kbin? Some of the shit on there was hilarious.

      I said the same thing. My ex-husband was military (though not boot at all) and you could absolutely find this truck in the px parking lot. Probably driven by a 20 year old with a kid and a pregnant wife who goes shopping off base in his uniform solely so people will thank him for his service.

        Boot is a derisive term, in this case it’s referring to young inexperienced people fresh out of boot camp. The mindset refers to doing trashy and/or foolish things usually coupled with a strong sense of entitlement (“thank me for my service!”).

        Not sure who downvoted you, nothing wrong with asking questions to learn stuff.
