Language originating from and used by military personnel. They can be in the form of acronyms or actual words. They can come in the form of an insult, general conversation such as words to describe unit or job, and there are some educational ones.

This is a brief example, not by any means is it all inclusive.
Acronyms: Military Slang
FRED- Fucking Retard, Extra Dumb (insult to someone who typically fits the description)(You literally make this their nickname)
RABFO- Riding Around Base Fucking Off (conversational, acronyms are just easier sometimes)
SAR- Search and Rescue (occupational)

Phrases: Military Slang
Dick Beaters: Your hands (usage-general conversation or insult..."Get those dirty Dick Beaters off my shirt")
Cock Holster: Your mouth (usage-derogatory..."I didn't hear you, my dick was in your Cock Holster again")
Douchebagery: General stupidity (usage-derogatory, reference, conversational..."The Douchebagery that projects from that disgusting cock holster is unbelievable. Congratulations FRED, you found yourself making it through another day.")

A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.
1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.

Oh I'm sorry, you didn't know that Kelly is on eternity leave? She resigned and moved to Hawaii!

With regrets I would like to inform you that my boss is officially on eternity leave. I will never see or hear them again. Ever.

I thought she'd need multiple trips to carry her phone, keys, wallet, and Starbucks to her car since she needed the other hand to open the door, but she used her impressive girl grip to carry everything in one hand.
