Unofficial army command. Typically used during PT (physical training) formations during extremely shitty weather as a way of dismissing a unit from duty. After the command of “Zonk!!” is given the entire unit runs off screaming and shouting to their barracks rooms or cars.
Man, this morning it was 34 degrees and pissing rain. Thank god First Seargent called a zonk.
1SG : “Company!!”
Platoon SGTs in unison : “Platoon!!”
1SG: “Atten-sion!!.....ZONK!!!!”

Get the zonk mug.(shouted) ZONK!!!
(everyone runs)
First Sergeant looks confused.
When everyone shows up for morning pt muster or formation, the command zonk is called out and everyone runs. Those who are caught by the first sergeant or fail to zonk must do the morning workout. There is no prepatory command (i.e. "Ready, Zonk")

Get the Zonk mug.Sleep is most often defined by, “a condition of body and mind such as that which typically recurs for several hours every night, in which the nervous system is relatively inactive, the eyes closed, the postural muscles relaxed, and consciousness practically suspended.” American slang has hence taken the basis of “sleeping” and reformed it into conditional words, often grouped as synonyms of their fore-bearer. Zonk is one such word. The literal definition of which is, “ to fall or cause to fall suddenly and heavily asleep or lose consciousness.” While sleep and zonk are very similar, sleep has more a dreamy and wistful connotation to it. Zonk, however, is a more violent word, often associated with power naps or a sudden urge to go into heavy sleep (see Stage 4 REM cycle). If one were to, in pure theory, say they were sleepy rather than zonky, then that mayhaps imply that there is a slight edge encouraging them to close their eyes, but not quite enough to make them truly, and wholly, zonk.

Get the Zonk mug.A game of chance using five dice. You roll all five together, and ones are worth 100, fives are worth 50, triples are worth 100 times their face value, and 5-of-a-kind is worth 1000 times its face value. The object of the game is to accumulate as many points as you can before "zonking out", which means rolling a hand of 0.
