No Shit

US Army slang in common use during the Vietnam War but probably originated during the Korean War. The phrase has multiple meanings which are dependent on the inflexion used and can usually only be determined from the context of the conversation. Four of the commonest are:-
1 No shit? – Are you giving me the facts?
2 No shit! – I am telling you the absolute truth!
3 No shit. – Don’t give me any lies or evasions.
4 No shit? (A question but with an implicit sneer) – Why don’t you carry on stating the obvious, you dumb cocksucker?

“Get your gear together, Charlie’s had his ass kicked and we’ve got 24 hours in Saigon!”
“No shit?”
“No shit!”

Cherries

This is US Army slang commonly used during the Vietnam War. It was also used during the Korean War and may even date back to World War II. It means a soldier who is a combat virgin whose behaviour in combat is, therefore, unpredictable. When soldiers like this arrived in a unit, as a replacement for someone killed or wounded, they were often viewed with suspicion and were referred to as FNGs, until they had proved themselves.

The replacements we got are all FNG cherries, no lifers, number ten.

Whistling up a pig’s ass

This expression was originally by Rednecks in the USA, but achieved wider recognition and usage due to combined operations between the US Army and British troops. It is used to describe something that is totally futile, a waste of time and effort and something you do not wish to do. By extension it can also be used to mean a person who is a waste of time and resources, someone with whom you do not wish to associate, that the world would be better off without and who is one of nature’s biggest mistakes, in short a complete and total Malcolm.

Malcolm has just fucked the system again, that waster is no more use than whistling up a pig’s ass.

Shit Warmed Over

English slang which can mean feeling poorly or can describe something as useless or unfit for purpose. So if someone says they feel like shit warmed it means they are feeling extremely unwell or under the weather. But if it is their opinion of a device, person or product, it means that the device, person or product is a total WOFS.

“Are you alright?”
“No, I feel like shit warmed over.”
