parachutist

A troll or other miscreant who jumps into an online group or forum, usually to push a view that is contrary to that prevailing in the group. They usually melt away when asked to provide evidence, citing 'bullying'. Often extremely smug and rather stupid.
A parachutist landed in our FB group today to 'educate' us all about how we are wrong about absolutely everything, ever.

parachuting

Grinding up pills, wrapping them in a napkin, and swallowing the napkin as a method of administering the drugs. The high from parachuting last longer and is more intense than snorting, and generally thought of as safer than injecting.
"Yesterday I got 100mg of morphine, so I ended up grinding it up and parachuting it before English. God I love english."

parachuting dogs

During World War II, our British allies were the first to use parachuting pooches with their army's newly formed airborne regiments; their special SAS forces, also used them as well behind enemy's lines in both North Africa and France.

The search and rescue sections of the No. Atlantic Transport Command, U.S. Army Air Corp began its own experimenting
in 1942, with the dropping of dogs, their sleds, and a flight surgeon by parachute directly to crash scene in the frozen north; where a quick response could mean the difference in the survival of an injured flier or crew.

The Army parachute dogs wore a coat like harness, lined with sheep skin, developed by the QMC. It was found, that two dogs could be dropped together with a twenty-eight ft. chute, while one could land safely with the regulation twenty-four foot chute.
Most of the experimentation was conducted at Fort Nelson, British Columbia, under the direction of a Major Joseph F. Westover. The knowledge that was learnt there, was to enable scout dogs to be used by the U.S. Army Airborne troops in Europe.

The war dog, Jaint de Mortimormey reputedly made more jumps during World War II than any man. Although no training was ever formally adopted for parachuting pooches, they were used quite extenively during the war.

There's a story told about a poor doberman, who was unceremoniously kicked out the door of a plane, with a special parachute attached to a static line. Part of a special airborne unit, the dog shortly after landing, started to growled, and sure enough, coming over a rise were four germans, who never made it back to the fatherland.
Was World War II the first use of parachuting pooches?

Surprisely...no...although they weren't part of any formal program or even an unofficial outfit, there were some mascot dogs, like Jeff pictured above, who were parachuting with their masters, as early as 1920, shortly after the Great War. Jeff alone made thirteen jumps, twelve successfully, he was the mascot of the 120th Colorado Air National Guard.

Parachuting

Parachuting: When you're on a night out in a strange city without accommodation, and you endeavour to find somewhere to spend the night. Not necessarily "pulling" - for example, ending up at a house party and crashing on the sofa, sleeping on the floor of a hostel etc could be classed as "parachuting".
"Mate, which hotel did you book again?"
"I was thinking we could just do a bit of parachuting instead"
