impact area

1) (n) A military term. The business end of a firing range. Where all the ordnance fired, lobbed, dropped or planted does it's work. Basically every millimeter forward of the firing line. Typically contains unexploded ordnance and as such is not such a good place for a hike or picnic.

2) (n) A zone of approximately 3 feet by 5 feet in front of your boss or manager's desk.

3) (n) Anywhere in which interaction with certain people can be detrimental to your health or career.
1) The Lieutenant couldn't figure out the map again, so we ended up humping through the impact area behind the mortar range.

2) "The boss called me into the impact area today to tell me our department needs to boost throughput and reduce time to market."

3) I got off the freeway at Crenshaw and had to drive through the impact area to find a gas station.

Sphincter Nazi

In the FPS computer game Call of Duty, it's that German soldier that materializes in the room that was just cleared, and shoots the player in the back with some species of automatic weapon, making a counterattack impossible.

This primarily occurs when the player doesn't follow the linear construction of the game's timeline and spawn triggers.

For example: Killing every German on a given map prior to actually achieving the objective. After which, while en route to the extraction point, the player is shot and killed by a soldier that apparently dropped from the player's ass (since that's the only place he could have been hiding).
Ovserver: Dude, why the hell are you just running around?
Player: Making sure there are no hostiles left on this map before I set my charges.
Observer: Whats it been, half an hour?
Player: Give or take.
Sphincter Nazi: "Americaner." *Brrrraaaaaaap*
Player: Where the fu...
Observer: Man, you got schooled by that Sphincter Nazi.

hump rash

n) The resulting rash left between the tops of one's thighs after a prolonged hump (hike). Legs rubbing together, with the addition of an abrasive such as denim or a similar heavy fabric, removes the top layer or two of skin leaving a red, uneven, and sensitive hump rash.

Not always noticed during said hump (due to adrenaline) but becomes immediately obvious once you step into a hot shower.

Can be prevented by wearing compression shorts (Spandex) in the place of your standard undergarments (boxers or briefs).

The difference between a hike and a hump is that a hump involves carrying gear. One can hike with a day pack, a water bottle and a camera. One humps when they are carrying items of greater density such as tents, field rations, ammunition for the mortar and a rocket launcher used for destroying enemy tanks.
"We had a 20 miler yesterday and when I hit the shower I realized I was sporting a harsh case of hump rash."

dummy cord

1) A lanyard (or leash if you prefer) applied to something you wish to keep on your person while you perform acts which may result in said object's irrevocable loss.

Ex: Tying a length of paracord to your fishing knife so if you drop it, it won't plunge to the bottom of the ocean, thereby leaving you to cut that salt encrusted bowline with your teeth.

2) The act of applying such a lanyard to your equipment.
1) "Ya got some dummy cord? I don't want to lose my compass when we jump."

2) "Dummy cord that radio for me so we don't lose it when we hit the surf zone."
