However for some civilians with little or no previous contact with the military some of the unique language and slang used by soldiers, sailors and aviators can be quite confusing. This glossary is meant to help explain some of the more common terms you might hear in every day life. (We have tried to keep if focused on the kind of slang that might cross over from military to civilian life, not an exhaustive list of tactical terms!)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"cm-glossary\"><div class=\"glossary-container \"><input type=\"hidden\" class=\"cmtt-attribute-field\" name=\"glossary_index_style\" value=\"classic\"><div id=\"glossaryList-nav\" class=\"listNav \" role=\"tablist\"><\/div><ul class=\"glossaryList\" role=\"tablist\" id=\"glossaryList\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/DefinedTermSet\"><li class=\"\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/DefinedTerm\"><a href=\"https:\/\/forcespenpals.net\/gb\/glossary\/brew-bitch\/\" role=\"term\" class=\"glossaryLink glossary-link-title \" style=\"\" itemprop=\"url\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Brew Bitch&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;What Does Brew Bitch Mean?Branch: RAFDefinition: Remember when we told you what brew means? Well this term takes things a step further. A brew bitch is essentially someone who is in charge of handling the drinks. One has to remember, however, that this is no voluntary position. The person making the hot beverages is stuck doing so, they&amp;#039;re not there of their own volition.Example: I thought it was supposed to be a romantic date, how did you end up playing the part of the brew bitch at a child&amp;#039;s birthday party instead?&lt;\/div&gt;\"><span itemprop=\"name\">Brew Bitch<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/DefinedTerm\"><a href=\"https:\/\/forcespenpals.net\/gb\/glossary\/buckshee\/\" role=\"term\" class=\"glossaryLink glossary-link-title \" style=\"\" itemprop=\"url\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Buckshee&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;&amp;lt;span class=&amp;quot;blue-underline&amp;quot; data-startindex=&amp;quot;0&amp;quot; data-endindex=&amp;quot;23&amp;quot; data-paragraphid=&amp;quot;3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;What Does Buckshee Mean?&amp;lt;\/span&amp;gt;Branch: &amp;lt;span class=&amp;quot;red-underline&amp;quot; data-startindex=&amp;quot;8&amp;quot; data-endindex=&amp;quot;10&amp;quot; data-paragraphid=&amp;quot;4&amp;quot;&amp;gt;All&amp;lt;\/span&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span class=&amp;quot;red-underline&amp;quot; data-startindex=&amp;quot;0&amp;quot; data-endindex=&amp;quot;11&amp;quot; data-paragraphid=&amp;quot;5&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Definition: &amp;lt;\/span&amp;gt;The word takes its roots from Hindi or Urdu, two languages from Asia.

However, within the UK military&amp;#039;s ranks, it means something extra that&amp;#039;s for free. In the context of a relationship, it could mean something that&amp;#039;s a freebie that wasn&amp;#039;t meant to be a part of the original picture.&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span class=&amp;quot;red-underline&amp;quot; data-startindex=&amp;quot;0&amp;quot; data-endindex=&amp;quot;8&amp;quot; data-paragraphid=&amp;quot;6&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Example: &amp;lt;\/span&amp;gt;Her little Buckshee brother accompanies her everywhere we go.

I have a serious thing for men who have served as Royal Marines.&nbsp;&amp;lt;\/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;\/div&gt;\"><span itemprop=\"name\">Bootneck<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/DefinedTerm\"><a href=\"https:\/\/forcespenpals.net\/gb\/glossary\/what-does-brag-rags-mean\/\" role=\"term\" class=\"glossaryLink glossary-link-title \" style=\"\" itemprop=\"url\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Brag Rags&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;What &amp;lt;span class=&amp;quot;red-underline&amp;quot; data-startindex=&amp;quot;5&amp;quot; data-endindex=&amp;quot;9&amp;quot; data-paragraphid=&amp;quot;7&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Does &amp;lt;\/span&amp;gt;Brag Rags Mean?Branch: All branches&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;Definition: Brag Rags is a fun little way to refer to medal ribbons, with the medal being the thing you&amp;#039;re bragging about and the ribbon being the rag that helps denote the bragging.

Soldiers use it to refer to feeling tired or that they haven&amp;#039;t had much sleep, given that they&amp;#039;ve been in their gear for too long. In the context of a relationship, this can refer to someone feeling sick of the person that they are with.

In terms of a relationship, clacky is something you would use to either woe your date or earn back someone&amp;#039;s favour.

Why are members of the RAF called crabs? Simply because they do a drill that requires them to move sideways and diagonally, making them look like a crab. There&amp;#039;s another more NSFW reason that has to do with pubic crabs and their colour, which seems to resemble the RAF uniform. Crabfat, on the other hand, refers to the colour of grease (more like the ointment used to treat crabs), which once again looks similar to the uniform. In the context of a relationship, we would take this word to refer to someone that no one should date.&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;Example: What is it with those two? How do they end up picking the worst crabfat idiots they can find? Are there no more people left on the planet that can entertain them?

They were used by the RAF to clear areas up. They can also be used to refer to a faultless landing. In effect, a daisy cutter can have both a good or bad impact, depending on what it has been used for. Against enemies, they have a positive impact, and they help with landings. But used in the wrong way, they can be a disaster.

But in the Royal Navy, it&amp;#039;s also used to refer to someone who has been knocked down.

It can also double to mean &amp;quot;missing,&amp;quot; and it&amp;#039;s mostly used to refer to material things that are lacking.

In the Royal Navy, &amp;quot;dipping out&amp;quot; refers to missing something that should have remained in a person&amp;#039;s attention. Dipped in, on the other hand, doesn&amp;#039;t mean keeping something to attention; it has more to do with unexpectedly gaining something. In the context of relationships, dipped out can be used to refer to someone who is forgetful, and dipped in can be used to refer to someone who is unexpectedly on point with something that has to do with the relationship. Whether you are dipping out or dipping depends entirely on the activity that you are a part of, and sometimes it can even have to do with a little bit of luck.&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;Example one: It feels like we have been married a million years instead of dating just a few months. Ever since our schedules have stopped aligning, things have started to go wrong. I have been trying to get him to pay more attention ever since I got a new job. It doesn&amp;#039;t matter if I plan a date night or wear something he would like, he seems to dip out anytime it&amp;#039;s about romance. The man is a bore, and I wish I could break up with him.&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;Example two: It&amp;#039;s not much of a loss to me to cancel on a blind date. I hadn&amp;#039;t dipped in to begin with, so it&amp;#039;s okay if it all goes south. I think for the time being, I need to take a break from dating and tinder anyway!&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;There you have it, folks. Let us know what you think of the term, and tell us if there are other ways in which you use the words &amp;quot;dipped in&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;dipped out.&amp;quot; Hopefully, we weren&amp;#039;t dipping out and gave you a good explainer, but in case you didn&amp;#039;t get it, definitely get in touch!&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;&lt;\/div&gt;\"><span itemprop=\"name\">Dipped out\/in<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/DefinedTerm\"><a href=\"https:\/\/forcespenpals.net\/gb\/glossary\/what-does-dipstick-mean\/\" role=\"term\" class=\"glossaryLink glossary-link-title \" style=\"\" itemprop=\"url\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Dipstick&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;What &amp;lt;span class=&amp;quot;red-underline&amp;quot; data-startindex=&amp;quot;5&amp;quot; data-endindex=&amp;quot;17&amp;quot; data-paragraphid=&amp;quot;3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Does Dipstick&amp;lt;\/span&amp;gt; Mean?&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;Branch: &amp;lt;span class=&amp;quot;red-underline&amp;quot; data-startindex=&amp;quot;8&amp;quot; data-endindex=&amp;quot;10&amp;quot; data-paragraphid=&amp;quot;4&amp;quot;&amp;gt;All&amp;lt;\/span&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span class=&amp;quot;red-underline&amp;quot; data-startindex=&amp;quot;0&amp;quot; data-endindex=&amp;quot;11&amp;quot; data-paragraphid=&amp;quot;5&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Definition: &amp;lt;\/span&amp;gt;If you think this word is a cousin of the slang word &amp;quot;dipshit,&amp;quot; you aren&amp;#039;t far off. A dipstick is someone who is extremely useless. It&amp;#039;s been widely used in the military to tell people that they are being absolutely, horrendously stupid or idiotic. This is one UK military slang word that can basically crossover into regular language pretty easily. Not to be confused by the stick that&amp;#039;s used to check a car&amp;#039;s oil or male genitals (although some do argue a correlation between the dipstick&amp;#039;s dual meaning being connected).&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;A dipstick isn&amp;#039;t just a regular idiot, though. There is something more potent in their idiocy. They take things to another level when they irk those around them. We&amp;#039;re pretty sure you can already think of a few people who would qualify as dipsticks. We ourselves have a dipstick list that continues to grow longer each day!&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;Example one: Only a dipstick would take a call from their ex in front of someone they were dating. I wouldn&amp;#039;t blame his girlfriend for reacting the way she did. He&amp;#039;s been a dipstick for a long time when it comes to boundaries with his ex, and if he can&amp;#039;t get his head back in the game, then he may as well count two exes instead of one.&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;Example two: I&amp;#039;m not sure if that date went sideways by accident or not, because our dumb friend has a habit of acting like a dipstick when they are on a date with someone who they think is better looking or more accomplished than they are. It turns the whole thing into a gigantic mess, and their insecurities overshadow all the good qualities. If we&amp;#039;re being honest, only another dipstick would be able to understand and adjust to the craziness.&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;&lt;\/div&gt;\"><span itemprop=\"name\">Dipstick<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/DefinedTerm\"><a href=\"https:\/\/forcespenpals.net\/gb\/glossary\/what-does-dit-mean\/\" role=\"term\" class=\"glossaryLink glossary-link-title \" style=\"\" itemprop=\"url\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Dit&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;What Does Dit&nbsp;Mean?&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;Branch: British Army, Royal Navy&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;Definition: To spin a dit, true dit. Sound familiar? The word &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; originates from the Royal Navy but, with time, was picked up by the British armed forces as well. Some sources suggest that if you look at the very beginning of this word&amp;#039;s lifetime, you will see that it stems from morse code communication, where instead of dah (which sounds funny in speech), an operator would ask for &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot;. Others think that it could have something to do with the French too. The word also has a cousin, i.e&amp;lt;span class=&amp;quot;red-underline&amp;quot; data-startindex=&amp;quot;497&amp;quot; data-endindex=&amp;quot;497&amp;quot; data-paragraphid=&amp;quot;5&amp;quot;&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;\/span&amp;gt; Gen Dit, which you can read about in our glossary as well!&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;In this day and age, &amp;quot;dit&amp;quot; refers to a story, often exaggerated or outlandish. It&amp;#039;s quite closely related to spinning a tale that&amp;#039;s based somewhat loosely on the truth. In the context of relationships, this could refer to a person talking up their game far more than reality should permit them.&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;Example one: James is always spinning one dit after another about his exploits from when he was younger, but the truth is he is full of hot air. Back then, he was too busy finishing up his degree and juggling college to spare time for dating. He counts his one long-term relationship as something that gave him serious game. He&amp;#039;s a greenhorn, genuinely.&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;Example two: I don&amp;#039;t blame her for breaking up with him with all the dits he&amp;#039;s been throwing her way. It was going to be a short matter of time before she realised a lot of it was just exaggerations. He puts on a good show, though, and I can understand why women are mesmerised by his stories. The only trouble is that when one sticks around, the facade starts to come apart! He needs to stop if he wants a woman to stick around.&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;&lt;\/div&gt;\"><span itemprop=\"name\">Dit<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/DefinedTerm\"><a href=\"https:\/\/forcespenpals.net\/gb\/glossary\/what-does-dob-mean\/\" role=\"term\" class=\"glossaryLink glossary-link-title \" style=\"\" itemprop=\"url\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;DOB&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;What Does DOB Mean?&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;Branch: British Army&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;Definition: So the term is actually a shortened version of the phrase &amp;quot;devoid of brain&amp;quot;. If you&amp;#039;re planning on using it when you talk, be sure to spell all three of the letters out instead of pronouncing it as one word, otherwise no one will understand what you&amp;#039;re saying. It&amp;#039;s a term used for someone who is in the armed forces and has very little brain power at their disposal. In the UK military, there&amp;#039;s a running joke that the army recruits dumb people. While the reality is that this isn&amp;#039;t true at all, there&amp;#039;s a lot of banter that goes on that easily uses terms like &amp;quot;DOB&amp;quot;. In the context of a relationship, the term &amp;quot;DOB&amp;quot; would be used for someone who doesn&amp;#039;t think things through or doesn&amp;#039;t really understand a problem.&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;Example one: He&amp;#039;s so DOB every single time I ask him to plan a date or pick up the slack at home. But when it comes to hanging out with his friends or gaming all day, he&amp;#039;s all hands on deck and seems to have an Einstein-level intellect. I swear, I don&amp;#039;t understand how he can so easily switch between the two. The only possibility is that this is weaponised incompetence and he&amp;#039;s doing this so that I&amp;#039;ll be forced to step in and take care of these things.&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;Example two: Bless her soul she tries really hard to stay in the conversation but once we start talking about cars her DOB moments just start to get higher and higher in frequency. I feel like instead of forcing herself to hang out with our group because of her boyfriend she should instead look for other friends who share more interests with her. It would be different if we were a regular group of friends but we are literally just a hobby club so each time the couple comes over all we do is talk about cars. It&amp;#039;s just sad really, even her boyfriend doesn&amp;#039;t seem to notice her discomfort.&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;&lt;\/div&gt;\"><span itemprop=\"name\">DOB<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/DefinedTerm\"><a href=\"https:\/\/forcespenpals.net\/gb\/glossary\/what-does-doby-mean\/\" role=\"term\" class=\"glossaryLink glossary-link-title \" style=\"\" itemprop=\"url\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Doby&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;What Does Doby Mean?&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;Branch: Royal Marines\/Royal Navy&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;Definition: This is a term which has to do with the military branch known for its aqua connection. Doby refers to washing something. You can also use the word to refer to someone taking a shower. The word has several longer forms, such as Doby dust, for example. The term originates from an Indian word and was picked up by the British Army in India back when the country was still ruled by the British. The original term is actually &amp;quot;dhobi&amp;quot;, which refers to someone who handles the laundry. Dhobis are supposed to be an entire profession across South Asia even today. In the context of military slang, the term is now used more in the Royal Navy than in the British Army, although some remnants may persist. Some people can also spell the word as Dobie or Dobi.&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;Example one:&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;&amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t understand how that dude ends up doing all the dishes every time we get invited to dinner. We used to live together and you couldn&amp;#039;t convince him to touch the dishwasher. We once even offered to pay him and he refused. But now he&amp;#039;s dating and all I see is him obsessing over the dishes.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Yeah well, he&amp;#039;s got a new game. It&amp;#039;s called the Doby game. And it&amp;#039;s the sole reason all the ladies love him, including his current girlfriend. Since he so effortlessly settles into any and all Doby duties. If she presents him with dishes, he&amp;#039;s all in. If she mentions her laundry, he&amp;#039;s there to take care of it. Instead of it emasculating him, it ends up making him look like a caring, helpful partner. Guess what else he automatically gets Doby duty for? If you know what I mean. Happy times, my friend. He&amp;#039;s a genius.&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;&lt;\/div&gt;\"><span itemprop=\"name\">Doby<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forces Penpals is a place where military and civilians mix and mingle for friendship, support and dating.
