Line 212:
* [http://notalwaysright.com/inter-screwed/8762 This story from Not Always Right]. Also qualifies as [[Oh Crap]] moment for the trash talker.
* In Vietnam ARVN and VC would occasionally Trash Talk over the radio.
* There was a variation in Afghanistan. The Afghans would set up loudspeakers [[Blatant Lies|not imported by the CIA]] at the crest of a ridge and set them to blare down at Russian columns below various themes such as the supposedly low manhood of Russian troops, the incontinence of their female relations, etc. If the Russians just marched past they got a score in morale. If they went to find the loudspeakers, they found them playing tapes automatically while snipers waited behind the next rock.
* One time during the [[American Civil War]] a group of pickets were shooting at each other while trash talking each other. One Rebel and one Yankee got so angry with each other that everyone agreed that guns were to impersonal, and so they called a truce to settle the manner with [[Good Old Fisticuffs]]. Once that was done, they had a rest. Then they went back to shooting at each other.
* Subversion, during the [[Napoleonic Wars]] British preferred to remain silent while the French were approaching to make sure that there was as much tension begging to be released when the order to fire and charge came.
