Get the STRAC mug.US Army slang common during the Vietnam War, although possibly originating much earlier than this. It means a soldier who is a combat virgin who has not been 'blooded' and, therefore, one whose behaviour in combat is unpredictable. The arrival of a new soldier as a replacement in an established unit was always difficult, hence the referral to such an arrival as FNG (Fucking New Guy). Where this soldier had not seen combat the difficulty was compounded and the established troops viewed them with suspicion as an unknown quantity.

Get the Scrounging mug.A predatory female who is sexually active. This does not necessarily mean she is a nymphomaniac but that when she sees a male she wants she is single-minded in her pursuit. There are occasions when she does not desire male company and like the tiger leads a solitary existence as she does not usually have many female friends. When she gets a man into her bed she displays a huge appetite for sex and is enthusiastic in her application. She was celebrated in the 1969 song by The Move 'Wild Tiger Woman'.
