Talk:Geronimo (exclamation)

Satirized in Cartoon?

Wasn't there a cartoon showing paratroopers jumping one by one and shouting, "Geronimo!", except for a Native American paratrooper who shouts "George Washington!" before he goes out the hatch? 45750born (talk) 12:55, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Dr Who

Inspection of previous edits will show that I've been uncomfortable including a reference to the use of "Geronimo" as a catch-phrase from the TV show "Dr Who". I've now seen several clips from the upcoming series, some of which use "Geronimo", so it seems to me we need to prepare for the inevitable editing of this article by Dr Who fans. In the absence of any other criterion, may I suggest the following: If the word "Geronimo" is appropriately used by the Doctor (that is, he says it as he drops uncontrollably into the unknown) in more than half the episodes in which he appears, we treat it as a catch-phrase and add an appropriate sentence. Otherwise, we say nothing. Comments, anyone? RomanSpa (talk) 21:53, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Well, he's definitely used it the right way thus far. Especially at the very end of the episode The End Of Time, just after David Tennant's Doctor regenerated into Matt Smith's Doctor; the TARDIS was crashing and he grabbed the controls and shouted, "Geronimo!" I can only imagine he'll use it correctly, just as David's Doctor used "Allons-y!" when preparing for a fight or an adventure, etc.
