Killer

A nickname U.S. Marines call eachother.

This term used to be an insult during the post-Vietnam era when servicemembers came home to being called "baby killers". It was turned around and made positive.

"Hey killer."

"Woah slow down there, killer"

"MUZZLE AWARENESS, KILLER!"

semester friend

Someone you hang out with for one, but up to two, semesters during college/university. After that, they drop off the face of the planet and/or make no effort to interact with you.

This state of "friendship" is further exacerbated if they're hostile or indifferent when you attempt contact with them.

Sam was just a semester friend. We hung out during Fall of 2008 and Spring of 2009, but now she never talks to me anymore.

hard charger

A nickname that U.S. Marines call eachother when referring to an individual Marine that does their job well and is well respected among other Marines.

Sgt Lucas is a hard charger. He stayed until 1900 last night just to finish all of this extra work, and THEN ran a 10k this morning!
