In my day, we had more acronyms.
AMIIGAS (pronounced ahMEEgas), short for "Ask me if I give a sheet."
DILLIGAS (dilliegas) as above, "Do I look like I give a sheet?"
IMBIKOFDI "I might but I kind of flippin doubt it."
YGBSM (pronounced as the letters) "You gotta be shirting me!"
We had a million slang terms for the enemy, all derogatory: slopes, gomers, slants, VC, Victor Charley, Charley and lots more.
With 100 or fewer days left in country, we were two-digit midgets, and officially a "short" for short-timer. How short are you?" "So short I can walk under doors." "So short I can sky dive from a dime."
