Smokin' and Jokin'

US Army terminology utilized to describe a person or people who are standing around smoking cigarettes and chattering about car chase movies when they should be doing something constructive.

Officer: Where the hell are all of the Soldiers?

NCO: Not sure, Sir, but I think they might be out back.

Officer: Alright, can you get them to load that new equipment onto the trucks by the motor pool?

NCO: Roger, Sir. Smokin' and Jokin' is NOT an MOS, so I will get their attention! (walks away)

NCO to Soldiers: Alright, assholes no more smokin' and jokin'! Get your asses to work, NOW!!!!
