Nitnoy

"A little bit" - from Thai "Nit Noi". Some soldiers brought back this word from Thailand during the Vietnam War, while on R&R.

I only like that girl nitnoy.

Nitnoy

Nickname given to the Sikorsky HH-3 " Jolly Green Giant" during the Vietnam War. The nickname was likely the result of the aircraft being dwarfed by the replacement HH-53 "Super Jolly Green Giant".

During the Vietnam War the 20th and 21st Special Operations Squadrons infiltrated Laos in support of SOG secret wars using the HH-3 "Nitnoy".
