Russian Charge

Military:
Charge forward against the enemy line, and at the first opportunity, drop and hide from the Russian snipers tasked with shooting deserters. Wait to be POWed and probably fed.

These young men had little training, and no appetite for war;

Commanders behind the trenches sent them into the maw of fire, from ahead and behind, a Russian Charge.

French queue

A line of people who don't follow rules of typical line-courtesy found elsewhere. An anarchic assembling for entrance at a door or gate. This is a normal behavior in France. The word pairing is an ironic construction, because it is really the opposite of a queue.

The skyway door opened and the passengers converged in an impatient French queue, shuffling slowly forward.

Conspirabators

People who seem to be aroused by promoting conspiracy theories about controversial public events. They are often found on obscure internet forums, or in bars or parties, where they spew implausible scenaria explaining historical events. The data that they provide is usually cherry-picked or flawed, and they are adamant about the veracity of their cause. Examples include, 9/11, the JFK assassination, Obama birthers, vaccination autism warners, etc.

I saw a guy on a date, and all I heard from him was about how the World Trade Center was brought down by explosives. I couldn't tell if the girl was impressed. I almost went over to him to bitch-slap him. I wish I did. He was just one of those conspirabators.
