Seriously? Not even in the military? I'm actually quite surprised.

LOL... Looked up "green" in Wikipedia...

Colloquial expressions:
1. Envy, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, is also called the green-eyed monster (after a phrase in Shakespeare's Othello). A person suffering therefrom is said to be "green with envy". Substances that may impart a greenish hue to one's skin include biliverdin, the green pigment in bile, and ceruloplasmin, a protein that carries copper ions in chelation.

2. Traditionally, someone who works well with plants is said to have green fingers, or a "green thumb".

3. An inexperienced person is sometimes known as green, probably by analogy to unripe (i.e. unready, immature) fruit. The word greenhorn also refers to an inexperienced person.

4. Aliens (of the extraterrestrial variety) are sometimes referred to as "little green men".

5. People who are feeling ill are sometimes referred to as "green around the gills".

6. "Green" is a slang term for marijuana, due to the color of the plant material.

7. "Being Green" can either mean someone who is new or someone who is overwhelmed and prone to desertion.

8. A "bowl of green" is a green chile stew popular in New Mexico.

Anyone else notice the irony that this whole discussion of the meaning of "green" is taking place in a thread called: "Hello all, i'm new too"?

Brad, can we change the name of this thread to "Hello all, i'm GREEN too"? Or maybe: "It's not easy being green" ....?
