A politician of sorts- will be friendly to everyone at face value, never share anything personal, and always needs to excel. Needs to be and OS god. Complains when the faculty critic his class I prep on week 2 of sim lab, argues every exam for grammatical errors, and constantly bitches about the bullshit comps and requirements. Doesn’t give a fuck about actual dentistry, just wants to be at the top. Someone who will do anything for past exams, but never share them, and then claim they just study really hard. Day 1 walks in and goes “I’m going to be number 1, refer to me for all your OS cases!!”
‘Did he just cut me in line at dispensary?’

A humorous reference to rear echelon personnel who like to talk up how much combat experience they have.
Yeah, that Jack is a real hero. Ask him about his tour as a Space Shuttle Door Gunner if you want to shut him up.

An internet blowhard, especially on internet gun or military forums, who like to dog others from the safety of theor anonymous keyboards.
That Jon3, he's such a Space Shuttle Door Gunner, posting definitions when he doesn't even really know what they mean.

A reference to gay men in leather pants or chaps (or a leather skirt, for that matter). Primarily found in gay nigtclubs looking to find "a real thweet fwiend." First known use of this phrase is accredited to Kevin "Bloody" Wilson, an Aussie comic.
" We were so pissed I didn't realized we'd stumbled in to a poofters bar. While me mate was odering up a another round of piss, I noticed that we were surrounded by a bunch of leather clad tail gunners."

The kind of guy your super judgmental grandma would still love. A Gunner is a true Casanova who has more ladies than Kylie Jenner has Instagram followers. Mr. Steal Yo Woman? More like Mr. Steal Yo Woman, Yo Girlfriend, Yo Mom, Yo social Security Nu... whoops, too far, but you get the point! Once any woman lays eyes on this unstoppable force, there’s no use trying to shield her attention. No use checking this dude’s vibe, your vibe doesn’t even COMPARE to his. He is, as 80’s boomers would say, totally rad. All in all, if your friends with a Gunner, then your pretty lucky to be friends with such an awesome dude.
“Did you hear he got asked out by twelve girls just last week?!”
“Yeah, my girlfriend ditched me for him, and he didn’t even say yes to her.”
“Dang, what a cool guy, he is such a Gunner.”

A person who goes above and beyond to exceed expectations. It only has a negative connotation to those who aren't gunners. The term isn't actually about peers. It is about the person who wants it most. The person willing to stay up every night of the week to get it done.
