Slang from Operation Iraqi Freedom

[Cohen, Gerald Leonard]

    If Grant would like (and I am completely flexible on this point), he would be welcome to prepare an item on this subject for the next issue of Comments on Etymology. Besides presenting whatever list of items he finds appropriate, he could clarify which terms were already present on his website list and perhaps that of others.
