Tin soldier

1.a toy soldier made of literal tin

2. An expendable, generic, (everyday, run of the mill) mass produced/trained soldier.

3. A durogative name for a soldier who is generic, mass produced and will say yes to any order given. Even if its suicidal, morally wrong, or will lead to the ultimate sacrifice being made.

(I.e. if the soldier is ordered to murder an entire innocent village to set an example, the tin soldier will do it without question.)

4.a brainwashed person who does the bidding of a mad man.

5.(non military related) a person brainwashed by society and mass media.this person follows the latest fad/ trends, listens to mass produced fad music, and blindly goes with what hes told. Like Emmett from "The Lego movie"

Slate: No tin soldier will take me! We deserve a soldier's death

Jam tin

A type of improvised grenade-like bomb used mainly in the first world war. Soldiers would use the empty tins from their ration of jam and fill it with explosives and shrapnel. Improvised jam tins often resemble the 'Double Cylinder Bomb' that was in use at the same time.

"I managed to kill two guys in trenches today using a couple of jam tins"
or
"Shit, a jam tin went off next to me and now I've got shrapnel stuck in my leg"

tin bitch

The name for the automated female voice associated with large, corporate IVR (interactive voice response) or voice mail systems usually resulting in wasted time and total frustration.

I called their customer service number to complain, but I couldn't get past the tin bitch.
