Found this on the net. Definitely applies to this thread:
The historical British meaning of "wrangler" is a person who excels at debate.
It's not just the Jeep that's a Wrangler, it's every flipin member of this forum!!

Yeah, I never refer to my Jeep as "The Wrangler". It's always been either "The Jeep" or "The JK". 
On a side note, I'll take a King Ranch with a King size fries, and a small Diet Coke.

I'm a former CJ owner. I love my JK, but it's the Jeep.

When I had my '03 I thought the "TJ" moniker was great. I thought hearing people from the U.S. referring to it as a "Wrangler" sounded weird for some reason. In the end it doesn't really matter, it's a jeep.

This has led to people that are not part of the Jeep circle referring to the JK as the TJ, including dealers. Quite annoying, but not worth explaining to them.
