  • Military Slang Wiktionary

    I stumbled across this site while researching military jargon and thought I'd share it: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:U.S._Navy_slang

    The following (from the Wiktionary) is just about the funniest thing I've read or heard in months!

    BCG's: Birth Control Glasses. Standard Navy-issue corrective eyewear. So named because they are so thick and hideous that you are guaranteed never to have sex while you are wearing them. Term has become obsolete due to more normal looking frame choices offered nowadays (outside of recruit training, at least).

    I'll let you look up "B.O.C.O.D" for yourself.

    Thanks for that.
    Tres helpful.

    Question --

    Tons of video games are being converted into screenplays...

    See COMIC CON...

    Are you seeing lots of military slangs and jargons in these scripts.

    What is the trend?

    cheers,

      This is absolutely true. I did my own study.
