21 Gun Salute

Whenever a person from the military dies, a group of seven soldiers fire off three shots each. 7 times 3 equals 21, thus the name 21 gun salute.

In order to honor Captain Robert Jordan, some soldiers from the Navy fired a 21 gun salute.

21 Gun Salute

According to the first guest star of Cops, Season 26, Episode 5, I believe "21 gun salute" can roughly translate to "death to all pigs!"

"21 Gun Salute yo! You don't like that, do ya? 21 Gun Salute! You know what it means!"

21 Gun Salute

A 21 Gun Salute is a Military Honor fired from 21 "Guns" or heavy artiliery or "Canons" NOT Rifles

At military funerals, one often sees three volleys of shots fired in honor of the deceased veteran. This is often mistaken by the laymen as a 21-gun salute, although it is entirely different (in the military, a "gun" is a large-calibered weapon. The three volleys are fired from "rifles," not "guns." Therefore, the three volleys isn't any kind of "gun salute," at all)

Today, the national "21 gun salute" is fired in honor of a national flag, the soverign or chief of state of a foreign nation, a member of a reigning royal family, and the President, ex-President, and President-elect of the United States. It is also fired at noon of the day of the funeral of a President, ex-President, or President-elect, on Washington's Birthday, Presidents Day, and the Fourth of July. On Memorial Day, a salute of 21 minute guns is fired at noon while the flag is flown at half mast. Fifty guns are also fired on all military installations equipped to do so at the close of the day of the funeral of a President, ex-President, or President-elect.

21 Gun Salute

When a girl runs through a gauntlet of 20 guys trying to cum on her, only to get it up her nose by the last guy who is standing at the end of the gauntlet.

I saw Mary the other day, she had a shirt that said 'I Survived the 21 Gun Salute.'

Trump's 21 gun salute

When you and 20 other blokes drop their daks and show their cocks to the incumbent president. No-homo.

A Trump's farewell, I saw a lineup of 21 guys drop their daks and flop their cocks, giving Trump's 21 gun salute.

21 gun salute shit

An attempted shit where one makes loud intense farts, but no actual crap comes out.

I wish I could deuce, but all I've been doing in the bathroom is a 21 gun salute shit.

21 gun toilet salute

The innate desire after dropping a turd of some substance to stand up and watch it pass as you flush - to admire it and pay your last respects as it were.

After stretching my sphincter to its Matrix-like limits, I had to given that turdzilla a proper 21 gun toilet salute.
