President Harry Truman said that and I’m inclined to agree with him. I feel as Veterans we have a greater interest in the past than most others. From the moment we arrive to our first duty station, one of the things we are given is a booklet (or several booklets) that details our unit’s history. We’re told to read it and know it just as well as we know how to field strip a rifle. Unit history gives us a detailed look into the past and a relatively micro one at that. For example, my first unit was A-Troop 1st Squadron, 4th US Cavalry of the 1st Infantry Division. The 1st Infantry Division is the oldest, actively-serving, and most storied Division in the United States Army. Literally forged on the battlefields of western Europe during WWI, the “Big Red One” has served our nation, without pause since 1917. 1-4 Cav has done the same albeit since 1855. Just those facts alone instill a pride in anyone who wears that Shoulder Patch or pins on that Distinctive Unit Insignia. Those things are a bridge to the past and you are now someone whose purpose is to honor that lineage by adding to it; to keep it alive and relevant. That brings me to the point of this article… Keeping Military Slang of the Past Alive and Relevant in Contemporary Society
We all know that slang is an intricate and often relished part of military life. It’s a language all its own and generally known only to a select group of people. Slang is also quite timeless. In 490 BC, a Greek runner named Pheidippides was in Marathon and witnessed the victorious defeat of the Persians. However, his elation at having just seen the invaders thrown back into the sea must have been short-lived as he saw his commander approaching him. Pheidippides knew that someone was going to have to inform Athens of the victory. He also knew that meant running the 26.2 miles from Marathon (Look at that...more history!) to Athens to accomplish that mission. He also knew that he ran fast and had therefore likely drawn the short stick. I’m fairly certain that having deduced all of that, he muttered *BOHICA, or a derivative of, as soon as his commander made eye contact.
*BOHICA: "Bend Over, Here It Comes Again." First recorded usage was during the Vietnam War.
It is my hope that upon viewing the following list of military slang that spans from the Revolutionary War to WWII, we can bring some of these back into common usage both in the military and in the civilian world. It’s not at all impossible; look at how common the phrase “That’s on point” is on both sides of the fence. I will include examples of sentences to help you out.
Yankee Peas - A British Army term meaning buckshot. American Militia would often load their muskets with a few buckshot in addition to the standard musket ball in order to inflict more casualties at close range.
Ex: “I used Yankee Peas in my shotgun to defend my home against an intruder and now I have to go to Home Depot and buy new drywall.”
Grab - To loot a civilian house while the homeowner is present.
Ex: “Your Honor, ‘home invasion’ is such an ugly term. I would argue that my client was merely performing a ‘grab’ as a project for his history class.”
Lob - To loot a civilian house when the homeowner is not present.
Ex: “C’mon, Your Honor...at least it wasn't a ‘grab.’”
Bread Basket - Stomach.
Ex: “That Jalapeno Cheese Spread is a bit rough on the bread basket today.”
Pepperbox - Pistol.
Ex: “Anyone seen my pepperbox? All I can find is the lanyard.”
Grab a Root - To have dinner.
Ex: “Hey, girl...you busy Friday? Wanna grab a root?”
Girl: “No.”
Nokum Stiff - Liquor. This requires no example as it’s just fun to say.
Wallpapered - Drunk.
Ex: “That Nokum Stiff done got him wallpapered.”
Quick-Step - Diarrhea.
Ex: “Seriously, boys...that cheese spread is not sitting right at all. I think I’m about to have a quick-step situation over here.”
Pogey Bait - Candy or snacks of any kind carried by American and Canadian Soldiers. This one is still in common usage among today's troops and I found it interesting to learn how far back it went.
Iron Rations - This expression was actually used as early as the 1860s to describe a Soldier’s emergency food rations. However, during WWI it came to be used as a nickname for shrapnel or artillery fire.
Ex: “Smitty took some Iron Rations right into his bread basket.”
Flap - To be worried.
Ex: “I’m really in a flap over this quick-step situation.”
Spike-Boozled - To completely destroy something.
Ex: “Seriously, fellas...I might spike-boozle the latrine if and when I make it.”
Dekko - To take a look at something.
Ex: “You want to go have a dekko at the latrine damage?”
Army Banjo - Shovel.
Ex: “Until the dream of the self-filling sandbags is realized, you’re going to need that Army Banjo.”
Awkward Squad - Men who require extra instruction in tactics and skills.
Ex: “The Awkward Squad is repeating the Land Navigation course...again.”
Bath Tub - Motorcycle Sidecar.
Ex: “Hop in the Bath Tub, dude...we gotta go find that damn Awkward Squad...again.”
Battle Breakfast - Navy term referring to the heavy breakfast of steak and eggs commonly given to Marines and Soldiers on the morning of an amphibious landing operation.
Ex: “Hey, look...Battle Breakfast! We’re as good as dead.”
Bayonet Course - Hospital treatment for venereal diseases. “Bayonet” refers to the male sex organ.
Ex: “After a long night of passionate love-making to a self-proclaimed virgin, Tim found himself with a ‘burning’ desire to run the Bayonet Course.”
Blanket Drill - Nap.
Ex: “I don’t know how I got it, Doc...I swear I woke up from a Blanket Drill and it was just BURNING.”
Bottled Sunshine - Beer. This one just makes perfect sense to me.
Chatterbox - Machine Gun.
Ex: “Get that damn Chatterbox away from the Awkward Squad...again.”
Chicken Berry - Egg.
Ex: “Why are these Chicken Berries green?”
Collision Mats - Pancakes or waffles.
Ex: “Heading over to IHOP for some Collision Mats; who’s with me?”
Garbage Catcher - Mess tray with depressions into which food is served.
Ex: “Grab a Garbage Catcher and get some Chicken Berries and Collision Mats.”
Jeepable - Impassable except by a Jeep.
Ex: “The road is bone-jarring but at least it’s Jeepable.”
Nut Buster - Mechanic.
Ex: “Do you remember all the heroic Nut Busters from 'Star Wars'? Me neither.”
Pep Tire - Doughnut.
Ex: "These Pep Tires are rotting my bread basket.”
Ribbon Happy - Dazzled by one’s own decorations.
Ex. “That Ribbon Happy Major is going to get us all killed.”
Royal Order of Whale Bangers - An ‘exclusive’ club open only to those Airmen who have mistakenly dropped depth charges onto whales believing them to be enemy submarines. Honestly, I see no way to carry this over into contemporary society and only included it because I thought it was hilarious.
Sin Buster - Chaplain.
Ex: “As soon as you’re done at the Bayonet Course, you should go see the Sin Buster and get right with Jesus.”
That pretty well exhausts my list. There are literally hundreds more like these but I did my best to select the ones I felt could be brought back into usage as well as those I thought were funny. In addition, I didn’t want to make it too long as the only thing more prevalent in Veterans than an appreciation of history is our short attention sp

Cop Who Kneeled on George Floyd ‘Tried to kill Me’ in 2008
Courtesy Ira Latrell TolesIra Latrell Toles didn’t immediately recognize ontario cop Derek Chauvin in the now viral video of him holding his knee on George Floyd’s neck as the handcuffed black man repeatedly told him he couldn’t breathe.But when news outlets known the officers involved, Toles, 33, Realized the man accountable for Floyd’s death was the same police officer who barged into his home and beat him up in the bathroom before shooting him in the stomach 12 years earlier while responding to a domestic violence call,The officer that killed that guy might be one which shot me, Toles texted his sister on the following friday night, to be able to messages shared with The Daily Beast. "They said his last name and i think it was him,dui lawyer las vegas him, His sister correct replied.On saturday, Chauvin was one of four officers fired for his participation in Floyd’s death, Which has sparked protests around the world and calls for a federal hate crime investigation.

He said that while he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge and still suffers pain from the bullet hole in his lower stomach Chauvin continued his career at the Minneapolis Police Department with just a slap on the wrist. The 911 operator could hear a woman yelling for somebody to stop hitting her, Local media reported once.Toles, Who was then 21, Admits that mom of his child called the cops on him that night, But he was surprised when several officers showed up without announcing their particular own,When I saw that he breached the home, I ran in the bathroom, Toles told The per day Beast. "it’s possible that [Chauvin] Starts spewing in that door. I was in the toilet with a cigarette and no lighter,The 33 year old said that Chauvin broke into the bathroom and started to hit him all of a sudden. Toles said he delivered blows to the officer because "My natural reaction to someone hitting me is to stop them from hitting me,All I could do is assume it was the police mainly because they didn’t announce themselves or ever give me a command, he explained. "I didn’t know what to think when using the hitting me.
