"Lance Coolie" is used by US Marines to refer to the Lance Corporal (E-3) rank. The term implies that Lance Corporals are used for menial labor; a play on the term "coolie" applied to Chinese workers.
Damn, I'm stuck stacking ammo cans again? I thought I'd be past this shit when I got promoted, but I guess I'm just a Lance Coolie...

A military term used both literally and metaphorically:
1) To remove the rear pin on an M16 rifle, allowing the rifle to fold open to reveal the internal parts. This is similar to how a double-barrel shotgun folds open for loading.
2) To explain something in a very simple and clear fashion.
3) To bend a standing woman forward for sex.

A facetious false etymology for the rank "PFC" (private first class, E-2) in the US Marine Corps. Since PFCs are often tasked with menial work like mopping, sweeping, and picking up litter, this term is used either to mock them, or by PFCs themselves to lament their low status.
A: Dammit, Sgt Fuentes has us out police-calling cigarette butts all morning yet-a-fucking-gain. Why does this shit keep happening to us?
B: Well, we're E-2s, and you know what PFC stands for: "perfect for cleaning".
