The Pentagon\u2019s self-appointed chief of social engineering, Navy Secretary, Ray Mabus, ever eager to remake America\u2019s fighting forces into Obama\u2019s UniCorps, has determined to rename all military specialties to reflect their increasingly bi-gender status. According to Mabus, job titles with the suffix man, rifleman or mineman, can be replaced with specialist, technician, professional or something of the sort.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is with the time-honored naval term yeoman which designates a clerk. In the case of yeoman, the \u2018man\u2019 syllable is not a suffix but the second syllable of a Middle English term for young man. So the Navy is up the Potomac without a paddle and I thought, knowing the generous nature of all you creative types who comment here at TAH, that perhaps you could suggest a proper nomenclature for this naval job specialty. As you can see, I have started off the process with <em>yeomama<\/em>.
