Originally a military acronym for STRategic Army Corps. An elite unit, the word became a term of compliment; "to be Strac" meant "to be militarily excellent" in both dress and skill. Usually "back-formed" to mean "Strategic, Tactical and Ready Around the Clock" and several other "backronyms." However, as all words tend to do, the meaning drifted, the sense becoming more of excellence in military appearance than military skill ... to the point where being called "Strac" came to mean that he looks like a recruiting poster but couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag.
ORIGINAL: "Wow, did you hear what Sergeant Jones did on the line last week? If we had ten of him, the war would be over in a week. What a STRAC soldier!"
COMMON/CONTEMPORARY: "Geez, look at Private Smith: hair buzz-cut, uniform perfectly pressed, patches and pins immaculate, leather polished to a mirror-brightness. Such a pity the loser has no skills whatsoever. STRAC jerk."

Get the strapeing the frumpet mug.1. (n) The kind of song that is pretty much NEVER on the radio. Its "Too Good For Mainstream." The kind of song that you cant help but dance to. And not just dance, but DANCE! Like a total idiot, otherwise known as jerking. Often times its parts of other songs mixed together because the artist wasnt creative enough to make his own original song like the rest of the world. Its just one of those songs that you have to hurry up and rip off of a YouTube video because it will probably get taken off due to copyright infringement. Partial techno, partial RnB, sometimes even a hint of rock. It just sounds like the kind of song that a little asian girl named stacey would listen to.
