A pilot who flies a simple mission and fucks it up so badly that he almost kills himself while starting an international incident.
An example of this occurred on Tuesday March 14th 2023 when a Russian Su-27 fighter jet releases fuel as it approaches the rear of a U.S. Air Force MQ-9 drone in what the Pentagon says was "an unsafe and unprofessional intercept" over the Black Sea.
Analysis of the film footage of the incident showed such inept flying that analysts started calling the pilot “Bottom Gun” — essentially meaning that he would never be represented as a hero in a Tom Cruise Top Gun Movie.
Even though the actions of this pilot caused him to receive a medal; his “heroic efforts” also convinced NATO Allie’s to begin sending fighter jets to Ukraine.
It’s a lovely war.
That Russian pilot who flew the mission against our drone was Bottom Gun; what a fuck up — he’s lucky to be alive after that. He’s lucky that Drones don’t shoot back.

The samuraiwarrior readies himself as demonstrates the initial form of his attack using the Battou no Jutsu stance.
Battojutsu is a Japanese term meaning techniques for engaging a sword. It is often used interchangeably with the terms iaijutsu, battodo, or iaido, although each term does have nuances in the Japanese language and different schools of Japanese martial arts may use them to differentiate between techniques (e.g. standing or sitting techniques).
The emphasis of training in battojutsu is on cutting with the sword. All terms are somewhat more specific than kenjutsu (sword techniques) or kendo (the Way of the sword), as the latter two refer mostly to techniques where the sword is already out of its scabbard (saya) and is therefore engaged in combat.
EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).
Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."
Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.
Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
Term used to describe someone who is a mix of both rural (country) and urban (metropolitan) lifestyles/upbringings. He/she is typically equally comfortable in both settings and is able to seamlessly slip back and forth between the two, appreciating the characteristics of each.
