LCPL

Little Cock Pleasing Loser or LCPL (noun):
A tongue-in-cheek term coined by MSgt Michael Green to describe a Marine Corps E3, poking fun at their position as junior enlisted personnel. Often used to highlight their perceived eagerness to please and their place at the bottom of the chain of command, this phrase humorously exaggerates their willingness to "go above and beyond" to win favor with higher-ups—sometimes to a fault. Despite the ribbing, it’s all part of the good-natured banter that builds camaraderie in the ranks. The term was later adopted to describe anyone who kisses tail.
SSgt: "Hey, Green, why is LCPL Johnson out there scrubbing the rocks around the barracks with a toothbrush?"
MSgt Green: "Because he’s a little cock pleasing loser, that’s why. Gotta make sure the rocks shine for the Gunny’s inspection!"

The term is clearly meant as a humorous jab, reflecting the kind of sarcasm and ribbing common in military culture.
