Military expressions, military slang, vulgar, common lingo, communication,, abbreviationsAbstract
In this article military expressions in English language and their usage in ordinary people’s speech is explained. If you’ve been in the armed services, know an enlisted soldier, or watched movies about the military, you know that military slang is practically a second language. Military slang helps soldiers convey a lot of information very quickly and allow troops to bond in life-threatening situations. Learn more with a list of these sayings and what they mean in the context of the military.The armed services have long been a hotbed of extremely creative (and sometimes rather vulgar) language coining, all of which translates into military slang sayings that definitely stick in the mind. There are tons of military euphemisms that are so original that they've gained usage in the civilian world. Because many of these sayings contain profanity, they have been censored when necessary.
