Civsplaining (blend word ‘civvy’ & informal form splaining of gerund ‘explaining’) is pejorative term meaning "(of a civ) to comment on or explain something to #squaddie in condescending, overconfident, often inaccurate or oversimplified manner"
I’m not #civsplaining you thick squaddie twat, I’m giving you guidance based on my considerable military knowledge gleamed from Commando comics & years of mucking thick military types, like MrSnaplegs, around.

A fun sponge in the military is a socially inadequate, humourless & deeply unpopular person who, through a sense of bitter loathing & revenge, sucks all the fun out of everything. Normally calls senior officers ‘sir’ on twitter.
Dude: why don’t we show our human side & engage online?
Military Fun Sponge: all this social media stuff is only a passing fad & has to be boring.

A Wedgehead is a member of the British Army's Royal Engineers. The expression dates back to when the Royal Artillery ran away in Crimea forcing the Engineers to rescue their guns before the Russians stole them. In the chaos, they used dead infantry officers' bodies to wedge the wheels to stop the cannons rolling downhill.

It is total bravado based on a rigid hierarchy where people have to do exactly as you tell them even if you are an utter knob. Civvies don’t give a shit about rank & will tell you to poke it.

DVD is short for a military distinguished visitors' day and replaced VIP or VVIP as some staff officer thought it was a good idea. DVDing is the flat-spin everyone involved in the DVD goes into. Normally DVDing means everyone stopping whatever they are supposed to be doing for a full day, so the grown-up can be shown stuff that they do not want to see. Bad DVDing means getting sacked. Good DVDing means you move closer to being a grown-up yourself.
This stupid DVD has taken everybody out of the game for 3 days. We have less employees than Tesco, and I bet they don't get this excited when a middle manager wants to visit a store to inspect the pick & mix counter. I hate DVDing.

The undercover investigative element of the British Royal Military Police. An organisation that is supposed to blend into the wider military community to mirror the effect that CID provide to civil police. In reality it is populated by a bunch of barely literate mouth breathers who spend all day taking screenshots of Facebook and being outsmarted by even the slowest witted squaddie. Most likely military group to be Swingers.
In Special Investigation Branch office:
SIB: "Look sunshine, we know you did it, confess or else"
Perp: "I didn't do it"
SIB: "Oh, you sure? Well, you'd better get out of here, we'll be watching you"
Perp: "L8rs"

A code word that means a military exercise is complete. It is also the prompt for alcohol deprived soldiers to drop everything, power up vehicles, abandon kit and charge in a mob towards home before first orders. For the Staff Officers, it is time to delete all the evidence, pretend to pay attention in the AAR and not update SOIs, thus landing the next incumbent in the shit.
