[edit] "Goolie"

The term "goolie" is British slang for "testicles" and was so called (and still is called by the Royal Air Force) because, in the areas where the chits were used, local tribesmen were known to turn over aviators to their womenfolk, who castrated said pilots for use as servants.

Granted, I have no knowledge on this subject whatsoever, but this strikes me as something that definitely needs a citation. intooblv (talk) 02:34, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
