Acronym. Typical Enlisted Dude. A slang term used to classify the junior enlisted portion of the military. A total cliche. Probably only joined the military because they watch too many movies. TEDs can easily be identified by their motivated regulation haircuts, lack of fashion sense, dopey personality, mindless devotion to their particular branch of service, limited vocabulary, and arrogant sense of self worth. They usually serve a some small role in the military, which often involves carrying guns to work. Typical Officer Dudes are obviously TODs
1) Air Wing Marine: Man, what a rough week. We had to send 3 planes overseas.
Grunt: Stupid POG! Why not join the infantry like a real Marine!
Air Wing Marine: Because I got higher than a 30 on the ASVAB, TED
2) Marine 1: Dude, look at the high and tight on that tool.
Marine 2 Hey TED(yelling)!
Marine 1: holy shit he looked. What a tool.

stands for "That Enlisted Dude." typically a enlisted member of the Coast Guard (or really any service) that feels slighted by the fact that he chose to join up right out of high school rather than try to become an officer and displays a high level of ignorance and contempt/jealousy for officers and cadets. Usually displays a lot of "service pride" which really means 95% of his clothing says Coast Guard on it somewhere, because it's way cheaper to buy things at the exchange than even Wal-Mart.
Guy 1: I was going to get a huge decal on the bag of my Dodge with an Eagle carrying the CG emblem.
Guy 2: Dude, that'd be like, so sick... Let's smoke some Camels and get nautical star tatoos to celebrate.
Cadet standing awkwardly: (under breath) TEDs...

Typical Everyday Dude. A TED is commonly seen wearing a striped shirt, or worse yet, a popped collar. TEDs try to hit on women at bars but have absolutely nothing interesting to say, and they usually roll in a crew with 3 to 5 other TEDs. TEDs can be sighted at Dave Matthews Band concerts, the driving range, or frat boy bars.
"Ew, did you see that TED trying to hit on me? I could've had better conversation with a dead cat. And at least the dead cat would not have been wearing a braided belt and double popped collar."

Web videos of white dudes talking about highly theoretical random shit on the level of graduate students that is interesting but probably has no effect on your daily life.
I just watched this video on TED of some dude talking about the effect of neuron-mapping on rhesus monkeys! Now I have to go pick up my sister from the skate rink.

A TED conference is often an invitation-only opportunity to hear the latest thinking from stars in their fields.
