- "I had some great ideas about how to fix all these problems with the motor pool, but Sgt Thompson blew them all off because he thinks he owns the whole lot; what a rice-bowling ass-hat."

Get the Rice Bowl mug.A derogatory reference to the US Army 101st Airborne Division, the "Screaming Eagles". Their patch shows the head of an eagle with its beak open, so they're mocked by comparing the eagle to a chicken, modifying their nickname to "screaming chickens", particularly by their competitor the 82nd Airborne
A: So, your cousin that just enlisted, is he gonna join us warfighters in the "All-Americans" 82nd Airborne?
B: Nah, I warned him they're just fuckin' legs, but the little faggot went and joined the "Screaming Chickens" instead.

Get the screaming chicken mug.A facetious false etymology for the rank "PFC" (private first class, E-2) in the US Marine Corps. Since PFCs are often tasked with menial work like mopping, sweeping, and picking up litter, this term is used either to mock them, or by PFCs themselves to lament their low status.
A: Dammit, Sgt Fuentes has us out police-calling cigarette butts all morning yet-a-fucking-gain. Why does this shit keep happening to us?
B: Well, we're E-2s, and you know what PFC stands for: "perfect for cleaning".

Get the perfect for cleaning mug.A phrase used to accuse someone of staring at you, often used by Drill Instructors at Marine boot-camp. The point being that if someone does't have a valid reason to stare at you (like you owing them money) then they should stop doing it.
DI: (notices recruit looking at him) Hey recruit, do I owe you money?
Recruit: ... what? Sir, no sir!
DI: They stop frickin' eyeballing me then.

Get the Do I owe you money? mug.In the US military, a person with red hair. This comes from comparing them to a "tracer", a firearms cartridge that has a bit of burning magnesium at the base of the bullet, which burns and can be seen as the bullet flies through the air.
The term "tracer" can refer to either their hair resembling the red path of a tracer bullet flying, or the fact that tracer ammunition in NATO has the tips of the bullets painted red so that specialized ammo can be visually identified.

(to a redheaded coworker) Hey, you over there by the water-bull, getcher ass over here! No, not you Sanchez, that tracer ass-hat next to you... that redheaded assclown.
