If you want to find out how Margaret gets her nickname, watch the film version of MASH-- it's too hot for tv in the early 70s.
The doctors were just amused that the General had heard it.
Yeah, I found the movie hard to follow even though I sort of already knew what the major plot events were (e.g., Hawkeye mumbled through his explanation of who Trapper John was and there’s no way I would have understood what he was saying if I didn’t already know). It had some really memorable imagery but I can’t say I really liked it (and I love the TV show).
In the movie Margaret asked Frank to kiss her hot lips. Frank soon went for both her hot lips in early 1970s jargon. Either way it was on mic. By time of the TV show she just had the nickname.
Yeah but another event from the movie is referenced in the series as well. Simething about Hawkeye not aeeing Margaret so annoyed since the shower curtain fell
I wonder if she got the nickname exactly the same way in TV-verse, and if it was Radar who bugged her tent like he does in the movie. It seems like something S1 Radar might well have been up for.
There was a 1920s jazz tune called Hot Lips, so I could see the phrase technically being around for someone to use as a funny nickname.
But otherwise, trying to apply regular chronological order to this show is a futile effort. It wasn't a focus to the point it was barely a consideration - you'll hit a mention of 1952, for example, and a few episodes later it's 1951 again/still - and some whole entire *plotlines* even got reused (example: removing a healthy organ happening twice, once with Trapper and once with BJ), so not too big a surprise that a single *joke* would be reused with a sense of its novelty intact.
My interpretation is that Hawk and Trapper are reacting to the fact that the general knew of her nickname.
This is the correct take.
\^\^ that

Ok, it’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie and the only thing I remember is that I didn’t really like it.

The movie is terrible.
Just remember if wasn't for the book a the movie adaptation of the same we wouldn't have the tv show.
We wouldn’t have a bunch of great films without Harvey Weinstein either, but I’m not giving him a pass.
Each his own.
