Throughout the years, military lingo has always inserted itself into normal civilian talk, until it is commonplace. You still see some Civil War, WWI, WWI, Korean, and Vietnam lingo floating about in the Webster's Dictionary, or out of your very own mouth. Here's a jumpstart for the next set of warwords. Here's how to speak like a soldier... some more! Snatchmobile (adj) - No, it isn't a 'pimped' vehicle that you and your buddies go out in to pick up women. It is a Hatch-Back Humvee with space in the back to toss in detainees. We can thank the men and women in the British Royal Army for this gem. It is priceless. ... more jerseydanielgibson Welcome back, Jers...

Straight from my mouth to this blog page are the subtle intracacies of the Army Lingo! So, hopefully, the next time you encounter a soldier, your mouth won't drop, making you look like a buffoon!  Here's how to speak like a soldier... again. Rat-Fuck (v) - to rat-fuck, to going through some package or goodies, and take only what you want, leaving the rest for some poor sucker. ex. PVT so-n-so just rat-fucked all the MRE's for some Skittles!. This one has been in use probably since C-rations... Donkey Dick (n) - Not an enderment of manliness size, but instead, a fuel spout. Put it into a gas can and you can add fuel without spilling gas all over the place. Some poor civilian found this one out the hard way one night when I asked him "Do you have a Donkey Dick?". Lord knows who invented it, but you can imagine the implications. ... more jerseydanielgibson Welcome back, Jers...

That age old Army motto, I thought, was one of the best that they ever came up with. IT says it all, and even says what isn't spoken. Great line. The motto "An Army Of One" wasn't too bad either, but "Army Strong" just plain sounds gay. It sounds like a thug with a paper bag with brains lording over the playground, bullying the small school children for their lunch money Now if I could make my own commercial... This stems from two different ideas. The first was a (former) soldier of mine, whose emptyheadedness was almost legendary. If you've ever seen the commercial with that young adult playing some "military" game shooting things, and one of the soldiers knocks on the screen and asks "Hey kid, you're pretty good at this. Wanna try the real thing." ... more jerseydanielgibson Welcome back, Jers...

The key caller, assigned to me through the Family Readiness Group associated with my husband's Troop called me. I thought it odd in the seconds before answering th call that she was calling, as we had already spoken once this month. Passing the thought off, I answered.   She had a strained tone to her voice, and told me she had a script to read to me. My heart dropped, because I knew it meant someone had died. At least the Department of Defense realizes the most important thing to put at the top of these briefs is "Your soldier is OKAY," before going into the details of what happened. ... more caelanwolf Diary of a military wife Wed, 28 Nov 2007 06:25:19 GMT /section-470-diary-of-a-military-wife#comments 3 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/6081 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/6081 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A6081 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-6077-crunch-time https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-6077-crunch-time "" -- Caelanwolf - griffey chriss - Shakespeare's Monkeys The best advice I can give to people who ask me how to "survive" deployment from home is simple. I tell them to just stay as busy as you can - get a hobby, go to school, get a job, a second job, volunteer, etc. Some days this is harder than it seems. Some days going for a walk in the park to clear your head just makes you cry into the forest, or doing whatever hobby it is you've picked up, or doing anything at all just reminds you of how lonely you really are. But for the most part this trick works out rather well. ... more caelanwolf Diary of a military wife Wed, 28 Nov 2007 05:45:22 GMT /section-470-diary-of-a-military-wife#comments 1 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/6077 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/6077 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A6077 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-6074-poem-by-poem https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-6074-poem-by-poem since it's impossibleI'll tell you nowa cottage in the woodsbut close to everythingflowers everywherewe don't speak for two yearsexcept about poetrydon't need towe know it allI go firstI choose one of yourswe do it that waythen you choose one of minenever stop writing Kath Kathabela in Verse Mon, 26 Nov 2007 17:47:54 GMT /section-42-kathabela-in-verse#comments 1 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/6074 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/6074 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A6074 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-6067-holidays-a-conversational-piece https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-6067-holidays-a-conversational-piece (a sort of conversational response BLOG to the lovely husband's BLOG on holidays spent in Iraq) caelanwolf Diary of a military wife Sun, 25 Nov 2007 16:03:31 GMT /section-470-diary-of-a-military-wife#comments 1 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/6067 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/6067 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A6067
