Hooah (hü-ä or who-ah) is a U.S. Military slang term. It is used[1] by US Army soldiers "Referring to or meaning anything and everything except no".[2] It can also be a type of battle cry. The word's etymology is unclear, but one possible origin is that it is based on the acronym HUA, meaning "heard, understood, acknowledged".[3] A joking etymology for this is also "Head Up Ass" so that Hua can have a double meaning, either a motivational one ("Hua, Sir, we'll take that hill") or else when told something that one couldn't possibly believe, they answer sarcastically with "Hua", knowing the other derivation
FIDO(fi·doe), F*ck it Drive on!
Semper fidelis(sem·per fi·de·lis), a Latin motto meaning "Always faithful".
Combat Ineffective 1. Unable to perform 2. Hungover 3. Shot to pieces on the battlefield
