I think this just highlights the differences between the Brits and the Americans. The Americans used the solemn term Blood Chit, whereas the Brits were more direct!!

Quote:
goolie chit - a scrap of paper or piece of cloth that when shown to the natives of a country over which you might be shot down offered a reward if they would return you alive and entire to the nearest Allied unit: arose from NW frontier and Iraq where the ladies of some tribes played nasty games with sharp knives
Good list, Morse
