steely eyed poser 

A term used to describe someone who knows the lingo of all the real warriors, killers, and violence slingers... but has never really actually lived that lifestyle. One who has probably got some buddies or some mundane connections to that world and uses those befuddled connections to gain just enough knowledge to sound a little credible on the subject to others like him on blogs and such. The term is a play on words of the phrase " steely eyed killer" which is a way to desciribe those who are or who have lived the life of performance of violence and warriorship on demand.

Vague martial arts credentials, hazy claims of SEAL knowledge, LARPING and queer adoration for all things spec ops (without actually being spec ops) are definitely signs that you are dealing with a steely eyed poser. Or a 14 year old boy.

Blogger A- " Wow I did this blog. This guy is real high speed and he sounds just like those guys from the Predator movie. A real steely eyed killer, ya know?

Blogger B- "No, I bet he paints dolls and SEAL action figures. Probably more like a steely eyed poser."

steely-eyed missile man 

A man's man. Especially a military man who is willing to place himself in harm's way for the good of his unit or its mission. Also, any man who weighs his own desires and aspirations against the needs and welfare of others less powerful than himself. Any male, protective provider capable of violence against those who would harm the weak, but not overly quick to "bring it."

Grandchild: "Why are Grandpa's hands so stiff and sore?"

Father: " 'Cuz he spent his life fighting in wars so you won't have to."

Grandpa: "Shut up, boy, you'll make him into a pussy."

Father: "Give me a break, Pop, I want him to be a steely-eyed missile man just like you."
