"Ace" is the term bestowed on a military aviator who has accomplished five or more confirmed aerial "kills."
An Ace need not be a "pilot," although they are by far the predominat type. Gunners and "Wizzos" (Weapons Systems Officers) may aslo earn the Ace credential by defeating their enemies in aerial combat.
The Ace moniker is a dying breed today, with fighter combat becoming less and less likely to occur in modern war. High altitude bombing, electronic countermeasures and long range missiles have had the effect of limiting American Ace production to sigle digit numbers since the Vietnam war.

Get the Ace (Noun)mug. Awesome band that is known for its loud, no frills rock, with sweet piercing vocals. Great for football games, or anytime.

Get the acesmug. 1. A name only a nerd would ever used, it screams zero originality and possibly homosexuality
2. A scrawny white kid that probably thinks he's black
3. Someone who tries to fit in everywhere but is always rejected

Get the Tyrant Acemug. First appearing in the AJR song "Ace", the phrase is used often to boast about one's abilities. An "Ace", specifically, is someone who goes against the mainstream and succeeds in their ambitions.

Get the ace familymug. A person shits inside an air conditioner as he or she is leaving a hotel. The next person to use it will no doubt put his or her face up to the air conditioner to get the full blast of coolness.
Instead, he or she will get the full blast of shitness.
