MASH is culturally important but it’s not The Guns of Navarone or A Bridge Too Far. If Bridge on the River Kwai had watches, Sir Alec Guinness would have not yelled hack.
I've seen practically every B-grade and up WWII movie made in English, and I don't remember ever seeing the use of "hack". Anybody please point to movie references if they know any.
Because nobody says that in movies.
It's been 'synchronize watches' since WWII movies became a thing.
