delta sierra

This is a military acronym, from the Vietnam war era. It stands for "DS" which is how military personnel would describe a bad situation, or poorly planned mission. It stands for "dog shit."
This phrase is derived using the phonetic alphabet (Military Alphabet). Instead of saying Dog Shit, you would say, Delta Sierra instead so everyone over the radio can understand and know what you mean.
By using the first letter of each word and converting that to the Military Alphabet you get the phrase "delta sierra."
D = Delta
S = Sierra
This mission is totally "delta sierra."

Sierra Mike

Slang code word for “Single Mother” utilizing the NATO Phonetic Alphabet (Used by the U.S. Military as well as others) equivalents for the initialism S.M. Although the initialism bares similarity to the slang term “MILF” (Not to be confused with the Filipino militant Islamic group “Moro Islamic Liberation Front”), MILFs were more in the context of being older than the identifier such as the mother of a peer or friend (as in the 1999 American Pop culture classic “American Pie”, which brought further attention to the term “MILF”). Sierra Mikes (Single Mothers/Moms) are characterized, more so, as being younger, roughly the same age or younger, as the person making identification. Both Sierra Mikes and MILFs can be attractive and desirable given circumstances.
