This term came about through a very popular cartoon of a helmet topping off a pair of boots to signify the veteran with just a short time left in his enlistment and keeping a REALLY low profile, turtle-like, trying to make it out alive. Among VietNam and older veterans a challenge term by which infantrymen recognized each other.
When a veteran infantryman would meet another veteran, the question would be asked: "Are you a turtle?". To which the challenged veteran would have to either reply "You bet your sweet ass I am!" or have to buy the challenging veteran a drink.

Slang term used in the bay area for marijuana. Coined turtle because it's green and makes you move slow.

The turtle is the breathable, fuckable and nutable daddy pet. It is so horny all the time, just by looking at it i cream so hard. Their booty checks are all ways so round, big and smooth. If you walk on the beach in somalia you could easily get raped by one. But its so nice to be raped by one.
The turtle was so horny
