WTF was Roger?
And how did he manage to get everyone on a radio in the English speaking world to use his name to mean, "I hear you loud and clear?"
 Enquiring minds want to know.

Without clicking on that wiki link, I'm going to guess it's something to do with the old phoenetic alphabet and either 'read you' or 'rabbits'. Am I right?

Well this is interesting! I will remember this when I "Roger" ATC from now on LOL
"From c.1650 to c.1870 Roger was slang for the word "penis" probably due to the origin of the name involving fame with a spear.[2][3][4] Therefore "roger" became slang for "have sex with". ATC: 23 Kilo cleared for take off runway 26R fly runway heading, contact departure on 124.6 good day. ME: Penis

What're the chances this thread will be locked next time I hit the 'refresh' button?

thought this was interesting - also from wiki:
Contrary to popular belief, Roger does not mean or imply "I will comply". That distinction goes to the contraction wilco (from, "will comply"), which is used exclusively if the speaker intends to say "received and will comply."
