Carabello Hair
Reference to the camouflage netting applied to the Advanced Combat Helmets of soldiers in the 1-32 Infantry Regiment, part of the 10th Mountain Division stationed at Ft. Drum New York.
The practice was started in 2006 while the unit was deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Command Sergeant Major Carabello was responsible for the order of the application of the netting to the helmets of all soldiers operating under his command.
Soldiers began referring to it as "Carabello Hair" partly in jest and/or simply because it was easier than saying "the camouflage netting that is put on our helmets and tied to the helmet 4 to 8 times to keep it secured because Command Sergeant Major Carabello wants it that way."

This Carabello Hair really sets us apart from the other units on Fort Drum.
Fuck man, my damn Carabello hair got caught in a tree limb last night and knocked me on my ass.
Your Carabello hair looks like shit, mine is pimp because it looks like dreadlocks.

Ratfucker
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.

That ol' gal of mine drives the 12 lane freeway during the week and a John Deere on the weekends. She likes opra and the Grand Ol' Opry. I love them countrypolitan women.
