More than you wish to know about the surname 'ROGER' can be found on my personal files server: http://69.68.220.78/Seneschal_Roger.html . My question is: Why did the English decide to use the word 'Roger' to represent 'Seneschal'? And why is 'Roger' such a derogatory term in Britain? I suspect I know, and the above file may show, but others may find the thread interesting. Quoting a correspondent, (paraphrased), "Scotland has been more than adequately Rogered already".

A telephone and other device are known as duplex transmitting devices meaning both parties can talk at the same time. However in radio land the two way radio on single transmission single receive and only one person can talk at a time so to avoid confusion and one person walking on another the word over is used to indicate the end of talking by one of the parties. Wilco in radio land means will comply and is used a lot with the word roger like roger wilco meaning I received your transmission and I will comply with the request. "go to the store and get some milk and bring it back" roger wilco. Charlie I don't know and I really don't care. My name is Roger and I really don't care about Charlie especially if Charlie is competing with me for your heart. I thought you might find that cute. You are cute and that begins with a C as well. Charlie is actually the phonetic word for the letter C but you already knew that. Over in radio land means I am done talking and now it is your turn to talk.
