Welcome back to SNAFUBAR. This week, we are diving into the topic of military lingo, a way of speaking that is embedded into everyday life for former and current military personnel as well as for civilians.
In this episode, there are plenty of topics and stories that will make you stop and think about the words and phrases you use on a daily basis that have origins in the military. And of course we will find time to laugh and reflect on our own experiences with this very particular form of lingo that has become such a normalalized part of everyday life.
