Army term meaning to use someone else to draw fire or draw the enemy's attention. Sabot is the main gun round on a tank. Using someone as a sabot sucker means you're intentionally sending them to do something that will cause them to get shot (usually by a tank).
So if you were in a training exercise and wanted to know where the enemy was hiding you might send one vehicle into the open. Once they're fired on you now know where the enemy is. That vehicle would be a Sabot Sucker. You might also use a sabot sucker to draw attention in a different direction so you can sneak around another way, etc.
Many times at the National Training Center at Ft. Irwin, CA active duty Army units are assigned a National Guard unit to go through the rotation with them. It's common practice to send the useless National Guard units first as sabot suckers. NOTE = Anyone to be used as a sabot sucker will be decieved into thinking their role is critical when really its a diversion.

Army Captain: We've been very impressed with your unit, we want YOU to lead the charge. You'll be the tip of the spear, the point element in our critical advance.
National Guard Captain: YES! We've been training all year for this, we won't let you down.
Army Captain (under breath): see ya Sabot Sucker.

Get the SALOT mug.The act of destroying someone's shoe while urinating or pooping inside of it. Usually works best when you've done a liquid diet and all your stools are liquid-like. After "Sabotaging" the shoe, tell the person who owns the shoe to hurry up and come outside because there is something very interesting outside. But remember to give them reason to put their shoe on such as there is broken glass outside. When they place their foot inside, they'll feel either a warm sensation or a cold one, depending how long it took you to sabotage their shoe. Afterwards, run around screaming like you are a hype man on a concert stage. Usually, the best words to scream are, "Oh Shit! Literally!" and "Damn! Yo' foot smells like my ass!".
