cook whites

U.S. Army slang term referring to severely worn and faded BDUs (Battle Dress Uniforms). New BDUs start out with random black, loam, and green amorphous shapes that form the camouflage pattern. After several months or years of washing and dry cleaning the colors bleed out. Summer weight BDUs tend to fade faster than winter weight due to the fact that they are made out of a thinner cotton based material. The term is derived from the name of the all white uniform that Army Cooks wear.

“Do not! I repeat DO NOT show up to the division change of command ceremony wearing freaking cook whites.”

kimchi squat

Military slang term for the way that 90% of the people of Asia sit. To properly execute the kimchi squat you must be able to touch your buttocks to your Achilles’ tendons while simultaneously keeping your feet firmly planted flat on the ground.

Most Asians can hold this position for hours while waiting on a bus, smoking a cigarette, shooting the shit, or just taking one.

Fewer than 5% of the population of the USA can execute this modified sitting position.

"Jones has gone so native; he was spotted on the street corner in the kimchi squat eating boiled fish paste on a stick."

"I thought that old lady was trying to give me head on the bus yesterday when she did the kimchi squat right in front of me"
