Nemophilia is the love of spending time in forests or woodland; woodland survival training, as practised by the armed forces could, therefore, be considered the equivalent of sex.

British Army slang in use before the Second World War, a sand rat is a whore, hooker or prostitute in a seaside town. They became known as sand rats because, like rats, they only came out after dark and would take their clients down to the beach for sex on the sand.
A British squaddie going on leave might say to his mates, "Right, I've got me 'water wings and calamine' and I'm off to play with the sand rats."
Note Water wings and calamine referred to condoms and barrier cream issued to soldiers to try to reduce the risk of them contracting STD.

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!

British army slang acronym from just after the Second World War and stands for Balls, Bum and Armpits. This referred to the areas washed when speed is of the essence or water in short supply, somewhat similar to an airplane bath. Extremely common during the 1950s when National Service was compulsory for all British males between the ages of 17 and 21, the BBA was reintroduced to the public conciousness by author Jonathan Gash in his Lovejoy novels.

A renifleur is someone, can be male or female, who gets sexual pleasure from smells. This can be triggered by a particular smell which is why males and females can be more sexually receptive when a certain perfume or after shave is used. In very rare cases it can be triggered by ordinary, everyday, common smells which means that the subject must be kept in a sterile, odour-free environment.
Have you smelled the stench coming off Malcolm? He's enough to make the most ardent renifleur get nose plugs!

US Army slang common during the Vietnam War, although possibly originating much earlier than this. It means a soldier who is a combat virgin who has not been 'blooded' and, therefore, one whose behaviour in combat is unpredictable. The arrival of a new soldier as a replacement in an established unit was always difficult, hence the referral to such an arrival as FNG (Fucking New Guy). Where this soldier had not seen combat the difficulty was compounded and the established troops viewed them with suspicion as an unknown quantity.
