We use a lot of specialized jargon in our jobs, classes or hobbies / interests. What's an example & definition of one bit of jargon you know?

• Wow - I didn't know this one.
  How did you come upon it - or begin to use it?
  And of course, thank you. I hope we get a nice collection of jargon here. Potential to learn quite a bit.
  (PS - nimbyism comes up a lot where I live. Yes re: conservation. Also things like where prisons should or shouldn't be built, where a residential group home for semi-independent adults with mental illnesses should be located (as opposed to state hospital admissions) ... on and on and on and on.)
  Sorry - getting carried away. I love this word!!!

• Exactly the sort of thing I was hoping to hear back!
  Didn't know any of those!
  Imagine if we each share a little from our corners of the world.
  I especially like chicken coup and lot lizard from your list. lol

• I like both of those!! I'd heard FUBAR, but not "Embrace the Suck". My BIL is going to hear about that one. He'll love it. What I say now in that situation is "Get a Grip". But I like this better because it acknowledges that things might be awful .. BUT .. no matter. Get on with it.
  Thanks!!
  PS - where did you run into these, do you know?

• They are just sayings that we have in the military. I am sure that someone's put them into a book or something.
