Thank God for the EDO
The EDO, or Enforcement Duty Officer, is a prestigious title reserved for only the most competent, highly trained, and operationally gifted individuals in the United States Coast Guard.
Known for their unmatched situational awareness, an EDO knows the exact location of every asset under their control at all times. They answer every phone call on the first ring, provide clear and accurate information, and never leave the Command Center wondering what the fuck is going on.
Becoming an EDO requires an incredibly rigorous qualification process, sometimes lasting upwards of an entire afternoon. Once qualified, these elite professionals are entrusted with the extraordinary responsibility of knowing absolutely everything while somehow being available for absolutely nothing.
When shit hits the fan, there's only one person you can count on to have all the answers.

Bounty Curse
The apparent curse placed upon the New Orleans Saints following Bountygate, requiring the franchise to lose important football games in increasingly improbable, devastating, and creatively named ways.
Symptoms of the Bounty Curse include watching your favorite team become the losing side of The Catch III, the Minneapolis Miracle, the NOLA No-Call, and seemingly any other playoff moment destined to become an NFL Films documentary.
Unlike normal football heartbreak, the Bounty Curse rarely allows the Saints to simply lose. The loss must occur in a manner so absurd that opposing fans give it a nickname and replay it for the next 30 years.

Saints fan: “We’re up with 10 seconds left. There’s literally no way we lose this game.”
Stefon Diggs scores a 61-yard walk-off touchdown.
Saints fan: “The fucking Bounty Curse.”

Goff’d
When the New Orleans Saints appear to make a huge, potentially game-changing play, only for an officiating decision involving Jared Goff to rip it away and leave Saints fans questioning the meaning of football itself.
The term originates from the Saints’ infamous 2019 NFC Championship loss to Goff’s Rams, when an obvious pass interference penalty went uncalled late in regulation. Years later, the Saints were Goff’d again in Week 1 of 2026 when a Jared Goff strip-sack returned for a Saints touchdown was overturned because Goff had already begun his “throwing motion.”
Getting Goff’d does not necessarily mean the ruling was technically incorrect. It simply means Jared Goff was involved, the Saints got screwed out of something awesome, and somehow New Orleans is angry at the rulebook again.

“Chase Young just strip-sacked Goff and we returned it for a touchdown!”
“Never mind. Apparently he had the intention to throw.”
“Unbelievable. We got Goff’d again.”

Liberty Chicken
The dangerous game where everyone waits to see who leaves the unit first because nobody wants leadership to see them being the first one out.

Warm Turkey
The act of quitting an addictive substance gradually instead of going cold turkey, usually by using a less intense substitute or quitting aid to soften the withdrawal before eventually stopping altogether.
Common examples include quitting cigarettes or vaping by temporarily using nicotine pouches, gum, or patches and gradually reducing the amount until you’re nicotine-free.
Unlike cold turkey, the turkey is still leaving — it’s just taking its sweet-ass time.

“I’m not quitting vaping cold turkey. I’m going Warm Turkey with patches for a few weeks and slowly cutting down.”

Billet Stockholm Syndrome
Spending three to four years talking about how much you hate your unit, then getting orders and immediately becoming nostalgic about it.
"What's gotten into you man? I thought you hated this place." "I guess I just have Billet Stockholm Syndrome."
