Declare by anonymous 2323 April 19, 2010
A radio brevity code used to inquire about the ID of a track, target, or group. Responses include:

Friendly: a positively identified friendly surface position, ship, aircraft, or spacecraft.

Bogey: a contact whose identity unknown.

Bandit: a contact that has been positively identified as an enemy in accordance with theatre ID data. Does not imply the unit or element requesting the declare has been directed or has the authority to engage.

Hostile: a contact that has been positively identified as an enemy. The difference between "hostile" and "bandit" is that with "hostile," the unit or element requesting the declare has permission to fire on the hostile in accordance with theatre rules of engagement. A "bandit" is a target where permission has not been granted.

Neutral: a positively identified ground position, ship, or aircraft whose behavior, origin, characteristics, or nationality indicate that it is neither supporting nor apposing friendly forces.

Unable: the unit or element from which the declare has been requested cannot comply as requested or directed.

Clean: no information is available about the track, target, or group of interest.

Furball: non-friendly and friendly aircraft are within five nautical miles of each other.

All responses to a declare request are given in bullseye format: the bullseye is an established reference point from position is referenced by magnetic bearing and range in nautical miles.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
