What can I do sometimes

The phrase was used by a former national team coach (Fatih Terim) in an interview. Though grammatically wrong, it entered the Turkish daily language as a way of meaning "there is nothing to do about this" and it is being used in English.

sometimes it’s okay to be a bit selfish and there will be times over the next 12 months when you really must put your own interests first no matter what that might mean for other people. What you do for yourself will benefit them too later on

Semper sometimes

A marine reservist

Often called "Semper sometimes". This is funny because Semper fidelis means "always faithful". Due to the nature of a reservist, they are the equivalent of part time workers in what is known as the Marine Corps. Therefore they are not "always faithful" which leads to them to only being faithful "sometimes". They are also called "weekend warriors" or "part timers" and are often the object of ridicule in jokes around real Marines
"John went the reservist route because he couldn't handle being a full time marine. Talk about Semper sometimes"
