Re: Hushpuppies - was Ahem! (blush)
In reverse chronological order, there's:
The War
The Great War
WW2
Also sometimes referred to as:
The American Civil War
World War I
World War II
For example one would say:
Great Grandaddy was in The War, Grandaddy was in The Great War, and Daddy
and Uncle Frank were in WW2, at least I THINK Frank went to that one.
