      Son of a gun is when Navy sailors got to ports, banged foreign chicks, then bailed. They were usually gunners.
      And flipping the middle finger during an old English versus French war came from one side cutting off p.o.w.'s crossbow trigger fingers. When the front lines faced each other, soldiers would flip off the other side to show they still had all their fingers.

    From my personal experience in military, when you push the ball of gear to wall you going full throttle. Similarly for pilot, the knobs on fighter plane created that phrase.
