An acronym standing for Action Conquers Terror. It is unclear whether this was originally a military acronym, where personnel are trained to overcome fear by action until this becomes automatic. It does, however, highlight that people are capable of far more than they realise, and that fears can be beaten when they are confronted. Action show fears and self-doubt as merely a question of attitude; forward-looking action overcomes habit and inertia to produce something new and is the simplest way to start the process of change.

Get the ACTmug. Besides being the name of the knife used by US Army and Marines, k-bar can also be used as a verb. So if a k-bar knife is used to kill someone they can be said to have been k-barred.
You heard that STRAC REMF went missin' on patrol?
Yeah, heard too someone k-barred the bastard an' left 'im in the boonies.
No shit?
No shit.

Get the K-Barmug. CNA stands for Certified Nursing Assistant. These are people who are underpaid and usually underappreciated. They work hard, doing the menial or unpleasant jobs which, if they weren't done would make the patients life intolerable. They usually carry out their work with no fuss and are frequently moaned at by the patients they look after. Nurses tend to look down on them, and it was possibly from this quarter that they received the sobriquet 'Cleaner of Nasty Arses'.
When my Gran was in hospital, there was this CNA who was brilliant. She looked after my Gran as if she was her own.

Get the CNAmug. This can also be ripped her a second asshole. Originally this phrase meant to attack someone with vicious and overwhelming brutality but, over time the meaning changed to become to reprimand someone so totally and effectively that it effectively destroyed them. If you have ripped him (or her) a second asshole you have administered the ultimate put down.
Jay, you know that wanker Malcolm ruined the design for the new website? Well the boss called him into his office and ten minutes later Malcolm came out, he was pale and shaking and I think he'd pissed himself! The boss sure ripped him a second asshole and on top of that he got potted!

Get the Rug Munchermug. Originally a medical term used to describe the pain associated with piles, now used to describe someone who is a pain in the arse. See also rectalgia.
Malcolm must think the boss is suffering from piles, he's got his head so far up the boss's arse it's a suppository.
I don't know about the boss, but Malcolm gives me pygalgia.

Get the Pygalgiamug. This expression originated with the British Royal Navy from the time of the wooden sailing ships. Storage of food aboard these vessels was quite primitive and foodstuffs were subject to attack by the numerous rats living on them. Frequently food, or other stores, would be destroyed by rats or so contaminated by them as to be totally unusable, the crew would then say that whatever had been destroyed had 'gone to rat shit'.
The expression became common in the Royal Dockyards where its use expanded to mean anything that had become broken or unusable whatever the cause. The use of the expression further expanded to mean someone who had changed from being a pleasant person to an unpleasant, grouchy bastard, or someone whose health was beginning to fail.

Malcolm's gone to see his doctor again, he really has gone to rat shit.
