Commando

Going Commando means running around without underwear.

Commando is also a colloquialism for special forces soldier, which is probably what they were going for. Who's the pervert now?

I'm laughing harder thanI should be.

I don't get it... did they skimp on model textures somewhere?

@Dio: you think a normal person would know that? XD

I figured it would be even more recognizable in Commonwealth countries, seeing as the British and Canadian special forces actually have the name "Commando" in their unit names!

Commando is a type of elite light infantry or special forces, specializing in attacking conventional military targets, as opposed to other special forces which specialize in counter-terrorism, reconnaissance or sabotage. The term commando stems from the Afrikaans word "Kommando," which translates roughly to "Mobile Infantry Regiment." Originally by horseback, since as early as 1652, where it was used to describe bands of militia in the Dutch Cape Colony.

"Going Commando," is likely attributed to the US Vietnam war era, starting on college campuses where it was a reference to the elite military soldiers who were supposedly "always ready." It didn't enter popular culture until the mid 1990s thanks to the Seinfeld episode "The Chinese Woman," in 1994, and the Friends episode "The One Where No One's Ready," in 1996.

I laughed SO hard at this!
