    No matter the first name. Be it Coke, Pepsi or RC, they all belong to the Cola family of beverages. However Clip and Magazine are not related. A clip being a binder and a magazine being a container. You can have a Magazine compartment aboard a ship or a Magazine bunker on land for ammo storage. However you can only load a clip into the magazine of a gun.

    The term clip is widely misused as it pertains to magazines. However I do not permit it to disturb me. Lest I get involved in the numerous misstatments, such as refering to an engine as a motor or a revolver as a pistol.

    Ah Ha! They were all pistols, until the introduction of the revolver.

    "revolver"? What's that? I think I went through one once, trying to get into Macy's. I kept ending up where I started.

    I tried shooting a revolver once but couldn't figure out where the clip went.

    So, Motor City isn't named for its electrical grid?
