Pylote

A humorous substitute for "pilot," often used within the aviation community. Many believe the obviously incorrect spelling is meant to be the humor itself, but the word actually comes from an anonymous user operating under the username "PyloteP6" who would often write comments online on proposed FAA Advisory Circulars around 2012. These comments would detail supposed outrageous practices the user had witnessed during his career as an airline pilot, and would frequently try to "expose" the aviation industry by claiming that pilots were frequently intoxicated in the cockpit, that sexual favors were required to get top airline positions, and that being anally raped was widely considered a rite of passage for flight attendants.

The term is now most commonly used on the Reddit forum r/shittyaskflying, where users substitute "pilot" for "pylote" as a way of mocking fellow pilots or signalling their participation in the niche aviation humor.

"For some reason, the girl at the bar was not impressed when I told her I was a pylote."

"For pylotes, the alcohol rule is '8 hours, bottle to throttle.' That means that after 8 hours of heavy drinking, the bottle turns into a throttle."

Gomer Pyle

Named after Private Pyle in Full Metal Jacket, this type of recruit makes you wonder "how the fuck did this kid get recruited?" Usually, these types of folk join the service due to years of bullying and abuse for their weight or other issues. Most likely they may be partially or completely unable to perform basic tasks such as putting their own uniform on or improper use of firearms, making them a liability to their squad.

Private Cash "Did you see that Gomer Pyle trying to catch butterflies at the shooting range last night?"

Private Doug "If you think that's bad he almost shot the Sarge cause he didn't know how to put the safety on."

Private Cash "God damn, they should just do him a favor and ship his ass back home."
