The Forces' Dictionary

STOP ! This dictionary contains forces words which some people may find offensive. Don't read if you feel you may be offended !
It is a common fact that the Armed Forces have, above every other walk of life, the most colourful way of expressing their opinions. If they cannot, for any reason, express themselves to an extent that satisfies them. They then invent the words that will do the job.

These words are usually meaningless in the outside world although many have now been adopted as civilian slang. These words have also in the past served as an identification to any strangers who may also have been in the forces. If you hear certain words in a casual pub conversation it may just give that person away. If they then proceed to down twelve pints and casually vomit down themselves you can be sure you've found an ex-forces person.

Here we are attempting to document some of the forces slang. This is by no means a comprehensive list and we would like yourselves to help us expand it. If you know of any other words then click the add an entry link and stick them in. We'd especially like to hear of any Navy slang as, unfortunately, that's an area no-one here has any experience in.

Read on and enjoy...
