I'm pretty sure when he says fouled, he means :cen:

I, of course, was using the polite version, so as to not get banned.

A few others:

HABU = Hook a brother up
SITFU = Suck it the F*** up
BOHICA = Bend over here it comes again

These are some that I have heard in use around my work section. Not sure if they are in popular use.

I overheard my husband talking to another veteran a while back... they both used the term "split tail"... Is this term meant to be derogatory, or is it just "a term"?

A split tail is a female member in the military.



HMFIC = Head Mother F:cen:ker In Charge...

 

[AB_Shorts_Momma]

I figured that it meant female... but didn't know if it was a commonly used phrase, or if it was meant to be derogatory. The phrase I over-heard was, "a split-tail screwed me" they were talking about promotions, if that helps.

 

[Team Infidel]

that's about it. it isn't used that often. we have become way to PC for those comments.

 

[AB_Shorts_Momma]

LOL OK... I guess two Marines talking about the good old days of Desert Storm were before the days of being PC.

That makes sense.

Thank you.

They could also refer to a Woman Marine as a BAM-Broad Azzed Marine.
