Best military slang you've heard

[The Long Road]

Love 'em or hate 'em, you have to admit that the military has some great slang terms for just about everything. My personal favorite is Tactical Trunk Monkey, which is the rear gunner on a vehicle (usually a Humvee).

What slang have you heard?

 

[elementsoul]

I personally like snafu(situation normal, all fucked up)

 

[ShenCS]

Stay Frosty.

 

[Cazza]

FUBAR

Don't know if it counts as slang, but 9mm handguns get called, "Milly's" i found that kinda funny.

 

[Amethyst Wind]

Jackboots.

 

[El Dingo]

Just about anything ever used by Capt. Richard Marcinko. Ever.

My personal favorite, that I still use all the time in the civilian sector: FNG. Fucking New Guy

When you go through Basic in the US Army (at least as infantry at Ft. Benning) a common one is SAP.

I can actually picture this scene, but for the life of me I can't remember where it's from. Two guys just up in the air and sorta.. chest-butt each other and yell "boosh" then a third says "oh great, the Marines get 'Oo-Rah', we get 'Boosh'." As I said though.. I can't recall who the people are or where the scene's in. Can I at least get a chocolate chip for that?

EDIT: Waitwaitwait I got it! Well I Googled it but still... It's from Haze! I'll be taking my cookie in full now thank you.

Beat to it. Damn you.

My first though was stay frosty. Saw it was already done and had to think some more. FUBAR is better and I glad I was beaten.

I've heard the SA80 referred to as "The Civil Servant", because it doesn't work and you can't fire it!
