Short-Range Spaceflight

The art of leaving the planet just long enough to wave goodbye, then coming right back down—suborbital hops, tourist flights to the edge of space, and any mission where you can still see your house from the window. Short-range spaceflight is for people who want to be astronauts but also want to be home for dinner. It's the space equivalent of dipping your toe in the cosmic ocean before deciding the water's too cold and returning to the beach of Earth's atmosphere, slightly shaken but ready for the souvenir photo.
*Example: "He bought a ticket for short-range spaceflight on a billionaire's rocket—11 minutes of weightlessness, a view of the curve of Earth, and then back home in time for lunch. When asked if he felt like an astronaut, he said he felt like a very privileged tourist who had briefly escaped the gravity of his problems, which immediately resumed upon landing."*

Ranger Shot 

(n): A bottle-cap/top sized shot of any liquor snorted via the nose.
Friend: "Take this Ranger Shot to wake you up." *pours a splash of Bacardi 151 in it's top*

Me: "Ok!"
*grabs the top, tilts it back, and snorts the alcohol*

Me: "Wow! That fucking hurts! Let's go light things on fire!"

Rage Shirt 

Comparable to Red Shirts. Expendable, relatively main characters in an action movie who go on a sudden killing rampage in a battle scene, usually ending in their death by multiple gunshot/stab wounds.
Guy 1: DUDE! Did you see that cavalry guy during the Last Samurai? Epic killing rampage.

Guy 2: Yeah man, I love seeing rage shirts in movies.

ranger shot 

A method used by soldiers to quickly ingest the instant coffee found in MREs.

Typically, one pours the contents of the instant coffee packet directly into the mouth, followed quickly by a swig of water to dissolve the grounds and wash it down. If feeling particularly creative, one may add the included sugar packet to the instant coffee packet prior to taking the shot.

This allows the caffeine contents of a medium sized cup of coffee to be swallowed in a matter of seconds. This is usually a last resort for soldiers who must remain awake, because the high comes quickly and is often followed by a severe loss of energy.
Platoon SGT: Those of you on fire watch MUST remain alert tonigt, take ranger shots if you have to, but we move out at 0400.
