List of Words Banished from the Queen's English

List of Words Banished from the Queen's English for Mis-Use, Over-Use and General Uselessness. The school in Michigan's Upper Peninsula released its 33rd list Monday, selecting from about 2,000 nominations.
"It is what it is," which Jeffrey Skrenes of St. Paul, Minn., said "accomplishes the dual feat of adding nothing to the conversation while also being phonetically and thematically redundant."

Glossary

7-Day Store: The closest alcohol purchasing station to 4296.
96: A 72 hour liberty period.
Advon: A group who receives the special favor of returning home from an Iraq Deployment early. Persons who are given this privilege have usually sucked the necessary cocks to meet the minimum Advon requirements.
Alamo: A dilapidated rectangular building with an open center. A hive for SgtMaj Express passengers who live in an illusionary state of mind that gives them a false sense of security from a building that would be condemned even in The 'Oming.
Aries2000: Ancient Jedi weapon used for popping balloons, cauterizing paper cuts, removing tattoos and labeling its owner as a jackass.
Banana Slap: A near sacred ritual in which a passed out Nightowl is punished for retiring early for the night, by being smacked with an over-ripened potassium capsule. Can also be used on "Scip-Scaps".
Baraka: A facial disfigurement in which the victim appears to have been in a head on collision and smashed face first through both vehicles' windshields. With Ten being the pinnacle of female sexual desire, and One being the bottom of the barrel, these creatures are considered "under the barrel".
Bounding: An athletic sport that truly defines a Nightowl's agility.
Break-In: Smashing through a 4296 window like the Kool-Aid pitcher in a rallying attempt to persuade another Nightowl to Go Big. Also used when alcohol runs low, and the only remaining source is behind said window.
Camel Jockey: An individual who lives in a hardened mud hut, which possesses more satellite dishes than walls. Owns a vehicle that can only be operated using a skill called the "Flintstone Method", and can be seen firing weapons at clouds and playing Catch the bomb.
Cannon Vomit: Releasing the contents of ones stomach in a manner that resembles a collapsing levy in New Orleans.
Chicky Selecks: A food preferred by Dr. Gonzo, ordered in an asinine voice at the McDonalds drive through.
Chin Parasite: An alien from outer space that attaches itself to people who are subjective to addiction and self destructive habits. Results in binge drinking, compulsive gambling, gluttony and excessive masturbation, to feed the chin's sinful impulses.
Cobble Wobble: 2nd in line to Goldschlager in taking Vin to the highest levels of Going Big. Supreme violence and a loathing for people who are not going big at the time are the main side effects of Cobble Wobble.
Code Red: A drill in which a loud noise is reacted to in such a way that an observer would receive the impression that planet earth had been taken over by giant flesh eating mutant aliens packing RPG's and mortar tubes.
CTB: Catch The Bomb: The most popular sport in Iraq. Includes running, hiding and the overall goal, catching the bomb, which consists of breaking the fall of an object with your body, and scoring points by leaping into the air and spreading yourself over a wide area.
Dale Earnhardt: A fictional deity worshipped by mullet headed greasemonkeys,
Dick Stomp: Much like a dog having its throat crushed by a collar chain as it attempts to escape the yard, having your Dick Stomped is what happens when you try to apply logic to a situation, only to be stopped by someone who has a greater rank than you, and insists that things will be done in the most difficult and painful manner. This tactic is most common with members of a SgtMaj Express.
Dr. Gonzo: A state of mind achieved by Fez while going big, transforming the normally docile Nightowl into a Tasmanian devil like abomination, with equal quantities of shame and degradation. Also see: "drunk like tice"
Drunk Like Tice: A loud, annoying, possibly sobbing, uncontrollable form of self loathing and pity. Usually resulting in nudity and the feared "Cannon Vomit".

FTS: Fuck That Shit; Used when a proposal or idea is counterproductive to the collective satisfaction of present individuals.
G'head: Permission to proceed.
George Bush: President of the United States. Former coke head, now just smokes reefer. Has single handedly ruined the credibility of the US presidency, while Horsefucking the Nightowls and jacking up gas prices.
Gnome: A repulsive, normally red headed creature who attempts to use rank pulling as an exit strategy when a plan to haze subordinates goes horribly wrong. Gnomes' feeble livers have almost zero tolerance to depressive liquid, leaving them red faced and unable to maintain even a modest grip on their surroundings after 2-4 oz. of any alcoholic substance.
Going Big: Drinking far in excess of what ones own alcoholic tolerance will safely allow, turning said person into a destructive, stumbling ball of violence and incoherency.
Goldschlager: A drink with gold flakes, a hint of cinnamon and made infamous with an incident involving Vin, Kaizer, an early evening retirement, Thunderbird, several other Nightowls and a banana. Heavy use of this item will result in Cannon Vomit or an unexplained Pile of Vomit (depending on the Nightowl in question).
Gunnamatna: As the unofficial war cry of the Nightowls, Gunnamatna can be heard from the upper deck of barracks 4169 during weekends when excessive intake of MadDog, Goldschlager, or other "Power Drinks" has taken place.

Iraq Deployment: Also a yearly occurrence in which a Nightowl is cutoff from all opportunities to GO BIG. It is also a time in which a Nightowl's mental sanity is tested.

Jib Lip: A physical mandible deformity which causes a person to look as though they have spent the better part of their life using their upper jaw as a hammer.
K-Span: A structure built in TQ made of a wooden interior, designed to rot after just a few years use, and aluminum outer shell, to create up to 6 times more shrapnel in the event of an attack.

Loud Noises: A common occurrence in TQ, created by controlled detonations and outgoing artillery fire. Can result in "Code Red".
MadDog: A bum wine and staple of the Nightowl diet. Preferred flavor is Orange Jubilee. However, OJ has only 13% Alcohol content, versus 18% for the Grape flavor, which has a less desirable flavor.

Nein: Means no in German.
Nightowl: one who excels at drinking, breaking objects, and making an ass out of ones self in public.

Pig's Ham: A 300 lb or more female who wears an outfit tight enough to crack a tortoise shell, highlighting the tractor tire around her waste in glaring and vomit inducing detail.
Pile of Vomit: A colorful mound of bile, digested food and alcohol, forming in the discreet shape of a puppy fetus still wrapped in its placenta. Has the distinct scent of an intestinal catastrophe left in the sun for 3 days.
POO Site: Any geographical position that has been marked as a place where a possible target was once located, but has since vacated never to return again.
Poot: The position a gay man sleeps or lays down in, with ass propped up in a suggestive position, as if to entice a normally straight man to fuck him in the ass.
Popcopy: one of the earliest of Nightowl scandals, involving Budweiser and chocolate syrup.
Qatar: Nearest accessible alcohol purchasing station to TQ, yet limited by a ludicrous 1 trip per lifetime, and 3 drinks per day on a 4 day trip.
Rip It: A liquid amphetamine designed to keep Nightowls awake during flights which define the essence of boredom and inactivity.
RipDog: An Upper/Downer combination of RipIt and MadDog. This weird but infectious combination gives the feeling of euphoria and evil thoughts all at the same time. Must only be consumed during the absence of alcohol purchasing stations.
RQ2B Pioneer: A high performance, all weather, stealth aircraft employed by the US military to conduct such missions as scanning long island, Aquatic reaction drills (PROG FAIL), circling over expired "POO" sites, and providing real time video of the nosewheel so TFC can stroke their junk while watching "Combat".
S-1 Virus: Causes the disease "Penguin". The affected subject slowly morphs into a swamp assed collection of laziness, kleptomania, and brown nosing that possesses as much charisma as a cheese sandwich. Victims of Penguin consistently complain about co-workers' inadequacies, which remarkably resemble their own. If those suffering from S-1 are in any command position, they should be quarantined, since they draw as much respect as the average child molester.
S-4 Virus: Causes a disease commonly known as "False Motivation". Symptoms include excessively grunting and yelling at anything that moves within the affected subject's personal area, decreased judgment, and a heightened sense of empowerment with minimal rank. Failure to treat this disease may result in mental retardation, or in serious cases, the subject may eventually become a Squadron Gunny.
Satellite: A miracle performing heavenly body that uses magic to fix unrelated aircraft problems in the RQ-2B Pioneer.
Sawhney Syndrome: A non-infectious disease that causes its host to laugh uncontrollably at statements or bad jokes in proportion to the rank of the person who delivers them. Side effects include homoerotic contact and broken English.
Scan Eagle: A Ballistic Missile Employed by Boeing in Iraq. A 12 hour lifespan allows its operator to find a suitable target, then attack it in an uncontrolled, somersaulting yard sale that may or may not have the intended effect. A lack of a warhead makes the Scan Eagle a weak projectile, and is therefore being researched as a possible surveillance aircraft instead of a plastic high school science fair caliber cannonball.
Scip-Scap: see: triflin bitch
Sergeant Major Express: The proverbial Train of brown-nosers and ass-kissers who lack the mental capacity to evaluate their surroundings in a way that complies with the laws of reality. A big rolling obnoxious mass of motivation and cluelessness.

Skittles: Also known as dermatitis eczema; A face scarring condition in which the victim appears to have been blasted 12 gauge at close range.

Small Time: Achieving lesser states of mental incompetence by the repeated consumption of fermented vegetable drinks.
Squadron Gunny: An imaginary title invented to provide a fake sense of empowerment to people who have emotional deficiencies, and whose only talents are having big ears, yelling at people, and executing testicle draining skulljobs to men with higher rank, and a less fairy tale like job title. Obtaining this so called "position" requires little other than a permanent shit-eating grin in the presence of officers, and absence of the knowledge that you are a complete douchebag.
Terrell Owens: see: "Maintenance", and "Triflin Bitch"
The 'Oming: A social purgatory, wherein lives a collection of rednecks, old rednecks, hate criminals, and mentally challenged farmer children. Recognized as the leading producer of incompetent college athletes, and barrels of home made corn squeezed moonshine.

Turkeyneck: 50% Human, 50% Turkey, 100% Dirty, gravel eating whore.
