Well, no idea why this came up after so long, so I thought I would contribute a new one.

FUBIJAR = eFf yoU Buddy, I'm Just A Reservist, good for whenever a soap is busting you down for useless stuff.

POOMA = Pulled Out Of My A** (there is another variant, I like this one better though... Beware of the chocolate POOMA)

Pon"go\, n. (Zo["o]l.) Any large ape; especially, the chimpanzee and the orang-outang. Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, © 1996, 1998 MICRA, Inc.

My dad (a sailor) told me a story about a decree coming down from the UK MOD to "Cease and desist referring to Infantry personnel as pongo's"

So the Air Force promptly put out a message stating "The reference to Infantry personnel as pongos shall cease forthwith."

The RM issued a similar directive that "Referring to infantry Personnel as pongos shall be prohibited."

The navy also issued a directive that "All pongos shall henceforth be known as Infantry personnel."
