Shortened form of Non Sortie Producing Motherfucker. Term created by the "working" side of the U.S. Air
Force. A sortie is one
take-off and landing of an aircraft. Those that don't work on the flightline do not produce sorties and are
thus labelled nonners.
Dad, what did you do during the war?
Son, I counted batteries in a box on a shelf. If there aren't 12 batteries in that
box, it's my job to tell someone about it.
Dad that's pretty lame.
Well son, I am in the Air Force but I'm a nonner.
