As some of you may be aware I go away on my jollies (w/end break) tomorrow including a day trip with parents to Dunkirk etc.
Anyway whilst I'm away I thought I'd give some of you something to think about.......
Being a Cockney and Ex Military and Police Officer I have always been interested in slang ie.
Bobby from Robert Peel, Founder of the Police Service
Not enough room in here to swing a cat, from Naval punishment and not having enough room below deck to swing a cat of nine tails
Scalie Back from Signallers carry their Radio Batteries to the front during WW1 and getting acid burns on their backs.
So what Military terms do you know and where do they originate from?
