Best military slang you've heard

[blankedboy]

"Boosh"

Cookie for the reference.

Frisky Dingo. Boosh!

Nope.

"Boosh"

Cookie for the reference.

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.

Aw, you Googled it. No fair.

"Boosh"

Cookie for the reference.

Haze right? If so please don't mention that game anymore, I want to forget that I ever owned it.

WE HAZ A WINNER

This no doubt about it. Anyone that says otherwise I'll FUBAR, I'm just kidding but seriously Fubar is the best military slang word.

Marine - My Ass Rides In Navy Equipment / Muscles Are Required Intelligence Not Essential

"Shit the bed" - A slang term, apparently only typical in Naval Aviation used in reference to a piece of equipment or situation that was kind of working, and then decided to just go to hell, with our without operator interference.

UCFLA - Unnecessarily Complicated Five Letter Acronym.

OFF - On Full Force. Typical cause of equipment failure for officers. It's more a joke meaning it didn't work because they didn't turn it to the on position.

Well, the worst is Oscar Mike for sure.

You need double the syllables just to mess up an acronym that isn't useful anyway.

FNG (Fucking New Guy) is one that I like.

SNAFU and FUBAR too, but those have been mentioned alot already in this thread.

Aw, beaten to CF...

Always heard SA80's called "Gat's"

Territorial Army referred to as SAS (Saturdays and Sundays), SWAT (Some Weekends and Thursdays) or STABs (Stupid Territorial Army Bastards)

Crunchie is a guy on foot

From an (alleged) conversation between British Commandos and American Marines.
American - 'So RM(C)? I get the Marine (Commando) but what does the R stand for?'
Brit - 'Real mate, Real fuckin' Marines.'

Fight ensues....

I like Marine Crops. slang for those ugly-ass GI eye glasses. So ugly it's proven to keep you from getting laid.

For women: Rape Prevention Glasses (RPGs)
