salty

A term originating from the United States Navy, used to describe disgruntled senior enlisted members. Also used to describe someone who has sea experience from a prior deployment, for whom the romanticized idea of ship life is gone, and replaced with sea salt.

Sailor: You got caught sleeping during general quarters, what happened?

Shitbag: I got yelled at for hours by some salty old senior chief.
