A Dictionary of Military Slang: 1945 to the Present Day - Hardcover
This is an A-Z record of military slang. One of the facts of modern life is the way in which specialized communities develop their own language. In part this is to facilitate the communication of complex information, but it is also a means of reinforcing group solidarity and maintaining its distinctiveness against the presence of outsiders. Nowhere is this more evident than in the military where the regime of military life has brought forth a vast, complex and highly colourful language of its own.
