    Question Royal Armoured Corps Jargon

    Hey guys

    I'm going to be joining the SCOTS DG in the foreseeable future (start date for Pirbirght is 15/07/2012).

    I was wondering if you "lovely bunch" could fill me in on some common Royal Armoured Corps jargon, just so I don't misunderstand people when they use some.

    Thanks in advance for the useful help...but I also expect some trolling so good luck with that too

    Get the beers in = It's your round.
    ACTION! = Wake up we are about to shoot somebody.
    Pussy = (depends on context) 1. Clunge; 2. Soft individual.
    Clunge = Phlange
    Phlange = Growler
    Growler = Minge
    Minge = Pussy (start over).

    Hope this helps.
    Twat = Cunt

    Refer to everyone in the RAC except RTR as 'Cavalry Under New Tasking' it is an old acronym for Cav in Tanks.

    'Non-Taskworthy' and 'Limited Role' are good ones as well. Fuck knows what 'Fully Fit' means...
