A valediction which has come to mean "be cool," but which more properly understood is an admonishment to stay alert and on one's toes. See the quote below for the pop culture origin.
"Hey! I know we're all in strung out shape but stay frosty and alert. We can't afford to let one of those bastards in here."
--Corporal Hicks (Michael Biehn), in Aliens (1986)

Get the Stay Frosty mug.Earliest origin I have seen is the 1972 movie "The New Centurions" and is spoken by George C. Scott to the "newbie" Stacy Keach. The meaning is "Stay cool and in control"

No soldier would disagree that it means nothing more or less than this
