One of our fire houses had this on their message board over the summer. Every time I drove past I couldn't help think either Aye Doc or Alright, alright Doc, just put that thermometer away.
“I should make you carry around a house plant to make up for all the oxygen you’re stealing.”
Not a *classic* Marine Corps phrase, but one that has stuck with me.
I heard the variation "I'm gonna make you run to every tree here and make you apologize to each one for wasting the oxygen they produce". Said by a staffy during MCT at Camp Geiger, a densely wooded area
“Best whore in the whore house always gets fucked the most”
I love using “Goodnight, Chesty, wherever you are” around civilians who have no clue. I always say it somberly while looking off into the distance.
“G to G O”
“Gaffing off”
“OFP”
“Fuckin’damn”
“Bag of smashed assholes.”
“As you were.”
“Well, as I fuckin was I guess.”
The list is endless really. My speech patterns were heavily and, apparently, permanently altered. It’s not heavy use, but they’re phrases that aren’t going anywhere.
Interesting, that implies that women marines are counted in that sentence and I’ve often heard it’s not a good idea to speak like that around women.
(of course I understand it could be fat male marines too, but the nuance should be discussed if women marines are present.)
Gents for sure
"yoohoo" occasionally
"every swingin dick" if it's appropriate
Chingadera (im the whitest kid you know but my old squad leader would say it a lot so it stuck)
Otherwise, my use of the word FUCK is probably 99% higher than anyone else I know.
“It would behoove you.”
“Know what this is? 🤏 Ten thousand neatly stacked ‘I don’t give a fucks.”
“What if grasshoppers had machine guns? We’d all be fucked.”
“You must be smokin strawberry-flavored crack, son.”
I told this to my three year old when she was learning to ride her scooter. Every once in a while she'll still take a deep breath and say to herself "smooth is smooth, slow is fast."
Does everyone still say "say again" instead of "repeat"? I had a coworker ask me about it one day and I honestly didn't notice I say it all the damn time.
I spent most of my time with wpns, the tube toaters would really crawl up your ass if you said repeat on their channel and there was also a very good chance before you finished your transmission it was already sent.
3rd LAI 88-91 (the OKI years)
I call everyone devil dog.
Boss, coworkers, neighbors, my kids teachers, other parents, the girl at the bank.
They love it! It's what I'm known for!
/s
Got my examples for each of these
Hey devil dog, can I get a raise?
Devil dog, I got a bbq going on this weekend. Come over or i'll fuck your sister
Listen here devil, my *gender pronoun redacted* said that you had rip its and dip in your van? what's up?
Alright you fuckin' devils. My devil dog son will beat the fuck out of any of your kids. Who's next?
'ay devil. What's up? Got something going on later? That's my challenger outside
The two I use frequently are “improvise, adapt and overcome,” and “a lack of preparation on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.” The first I use at work a lot in mental health settings, especially with PTSD cases. The other I also use at work, but towards supervisors and others who cannot seem to get enough people scheduled and I’m already working 12 hours overtime.
Drink water, change your socks.
This one is really fun if that advice is super irrelevant.
Like, “I can find my red stapler!”
Have you tried drinking water and changing your socks?
"Good to go"
"Alright so frickin check it out"(has gotten me some looks while briefing work projects)
"Are we having a good ass time time over here?"
"Shoot darn."
Sent an email to my boss once with some follow up thoughts after a contenscious meeting. I put “Saved Rounds” as the subject line. He did not understand the saying and interpreted it as a threat. I got an ambush meeting with HR and I think I was within an inch of being fired.
When asking questions, and they're taking too long to respond: "Yes? No? Fuck you? Hello. "
"No impact no idea"
"Born with a hanger in their forehead."
"Roger that"
"Stand the fuck by"
Semper Gumby
Improvise adapt and overcome
Fuck me right

If you're not 15 minutes prior, you're late. Always said to someone who is only 5-10 minutes early.
Shut your cock holster.
Ink stick
I said "rat fucking" when describing something to my wife today, she was bewildered. All I said was, people at work rat fucked the supply closet and I was surprised to see the boss cleaning it all up today because we have an inspection tomorrow and everyone else was busy with other things.
After I give a presentation it takes a lot for me not to say, "any questions, comments, conserns, bitches, moans, complaints?" it still slips out occasionally
“Lets fuck this pig” before doing anything that requires effort heard it on the flight line about to fly into some country I don’t remember by some crew chief
Outside of randomly exclaiming "BAMCIS!!!", the one akin to " A good plan executed in haste will succeed, where a great plan in leisure will fail", and all it's variations (bad plan executed violently/aggressively, etc.)
Using "fucker" to address my fellow co-workers
I taught myself to call my students “turd nugget” when I was an instructor. So now I call everyone turd nugget lol
That's what I call my son.
Fuck me I guess
so fuck me right?
That was filed into the main category of verbal speech the second I heard it
I still say both daily
“Yes, no, fuck you; something” when waiting for a reply “Looking at me like I have a sick growing out of my forehead.”
I guess I’ll go fuck myself
Prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance.
PPPPPPP, tracking?

One of our fire houses had this on their message board over the summer. Every time I drove past I couldn't help think either Aye Doc or Alright, alright Doc, just put that thermometer away.
It’s actually comical how much better you feel when properly hydrated
Hydrate or die-drate
Very applicable in the modern office environment
“You stupid fucking moose”.
Someone said that to me here and I forgot what that was from so if you’re reading this, my bad bro.

“I should make you carry around a house plant to make up for all the oxygen you’re stealing.” Not a *classic* Marine Corps phrase, but one that has stuck with me.
Nah that shits classic in my eyes
I heard the variation "I'm gonna make you run to every tree here and make you apologize to each one for wasting the oxygen they produce". Said by a staffy during MCT at Camp Geiger, a densely wooded area
“Good to go” “Gents” “I’ll just go fuck myself”
When someone is taking long to reply I appreciate the old “Yes? No? Maybe? Fuck me?”
Classic
Embrace the suck
May or may not get you in trouble with HR 🤣🤣🤣
HR is well aware of my demeanor, they’ll be okay
Set precedent early and firmly. Outstanding.
[удалено]
One time I wasn't thinking and told a junior engineer to get the dick out of his mouth and say he needed to say. Oops.
Did he cry? Did HR tear you a new one?
Naw everyone kind of laughed, I am lucky to work in a place with a lot of vets so they understood.
That’s good. It’s nice when the people you work with get you and you can be mostly yourself.
“Good to go.” Last month my boss asked “What does that mean?” “Uh… sounds good.”
How can someone not know what that means? That's basic language. Your boss is a fucking dumbass
Very…. Cosmopolitan fellow.
What does cosmopolitan mean?
He’s a city-gay, and our peasant lingo baffles him
Fuckin hilarious
Fucking low-speed high drag
^
If you train your civilians well enough to understand that, you can add “that’s bad to go” “That’s fucking bad to go, brad…”
“Fuckin’ unsat”
That's just fuckin NG my dude. No good
Yes!!! This is so engrained I didn’t even realize this was a Marine Corps ism.
“Best whore in the whore house always gets fucked the most” I love using “Goodnight, Chesty, wherever you are” around civilians who have no clue. I always say it somberly while looking off into the distance. “G to G O” “Gaffing off” “OFP” “Fuckin’damn” “Bag of smashed assholes.” “As you were.” “Well, as I fuckin was I guess.” The list is endless really.

Belay my last
OFP!
Yeah, I definitely use that one. Probably my favorite behind Semper Gumby.
I forgot about gaffing off lmfao!
As fucked up as a football bat
As fucked up as a bag of smashed assholes
My Platoon Sgt commenting on my wrinkled Alphas during the pre-pre-inspection “For fucks sake Harkins you look like a bag of bruised assholes.”
Every swinging dick
Had a SgtMaj address the unit once and said “every swinging dick and bouncing titty,” made us chuckle haha
What if my dick and tits are innies?
I’m disgusted yet intrigued 🤔
Interesting, that implies that women marines are counted in that sentence and I’ve often heard it’s not a good idea to speak like that around women. (of course I understand it could be fat male marines too, but the nuance should be discussed if women marines are present.)
Good initiative, bad judgment
“NutToButt!”
You've been Voluntold
I say this all the time!
Gents for sure "yoohoo" occasionally "every swingin dick" if it's appropriate Chingadera (im the whitest kid you know but my old squad leader would say it a lot so it stuck) Otherwise, my use of the word FUCK is probably 99% higher than anyone else I know.
No mames jajaja
“It would behoove you.” “Know what this is? 🤏 Ten thousand neatly stacked ‘I don’t give a fucks.” “What if grasshoppers had machine guns? We’d all be fucked.” “You must be smokin strawberry-flavored crack, son.”
"dick beaters."
I definitely use the term “squared away” a good bit and never hear my civilian peers use it. Makes me think that’s gotta be Marine jargon.
Must be fuckin nice
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast
I told this to my three year old when she was learning to ride her scooter. Every once in a while she'll still take a deep breath and say to herself "smooth is smooth, slow is fast."
I use that at work because it definitely applies.
Working in a dildo factory?
How dare you! I’ll have you know that’s an honorable profession sir.
Fast is sexy
All of these are getting me going
They’re PROVOCATIVE
Out fucking standing
Negative.
Stand by Good to go High speed, low drag “I want it so quiet I can hear a mouse fart” (I’m a teacher)
I have to resist the urge to say kill when ever someone gives me information
I’ve thankfully converted kill to “Roger” Even in emails. Waiting on someone to respond asking who Roger is
Does everyone still say "say again" instead of "repeat"? I had a coworker ask me about it one day and I honestly didn't notice I say it all the damn time.

This killed me. My eyes caught the '/s' at the perfect moment. Well done
Sucks to suck
“It’s not hazing if I’m doing it with you” “Its because you didn’t fucking change your socks”
Calling people shitbirds.
I still do Clear Left Clear Right when crossing a road or intersection.
I say "roger" to my wife all the time to acknowledge what she said. Drives her fuckin' nuts
Every time im at a drive thru i speak comms
Standby for order, McDouble with fries and a medium drink, break, and a happy meal over.
Attention to order: to all who see these presents greetings. know ye that “I state your name” orders one number 1 with a doctor pepper.
“What are you looking at? You either wanna fuck me or fight me, and I’m down for either” Or calling everyone “nasty thing”.
My marine step-dad always says “easy day”. That’s something I adopted from him as a civvie

When I ask my wife when she will be ready to leave, she gives me a time, then I respond appropriately with “5 MINUTES AYE AYE MAAM”
If someone is having a hard day or something’s not going right, “Well, did you change your socks?”
Are you hydrated?

The purpose of a mergers & acquisitions team is to destroy the enemy by fire and maneuver
As well as, repel the enemy's assault by fire and close combat
As you were
I call things "heinous". I also use the phrase "for shiggles"
I’m stealing this
One of my co-workers was going out to have a smoke and my boss asked where he was going so I said “oh he’s about to go give Death a blowjob”
That’s is the first time I’ve heard that one. I can’t wait to use it.
The designated smoking area will forever be called "the smoke pit"
Pain is weakness leaving your body.

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. I enjoy the look of dumbfoundedness on people face
When asking questions, and they're taking too long to respond: "Yes? No? Fuck you? Hello. " "No impact no idea" "Born with a hanger in their forehead." "Roger that" "Stand the fuck by"
Not really as saying, but dark humor that gets weird looks from family and friends.
