When you're taking a situation as it comes and flying by the seat of your pants. Often attributed to anxiety, and feelings either good or bad. A reference to clinging fiercely to something, such as a rope, to the point where ones knuckles would turn white from forcing blood from the capillaries.

U.S. Army slang term referring to severely worn and faded BDUs (Battle Dress Uniforms). New BDUs start out with random black, loam, and green amorphous shapes that form the camouflage pattern. After several months or years of washing and dry cleaning the colors bleed out. Summer weight BDUs tend to fade faster than winter weight due to the fact that they are made out of a thinner cotton based material. The term is derived from the name of the all white uniform that Army Cooks wear.
“Do not! I repeat DO NOT show up to the division change of command ceremony wearing freaking cook whites.”
