Malapropism
Malapropism: an act or habit of misusing words ridiculously.
What are some of the odd things you've heard someone say over squad chat??? For instance, using words like "Grenade-Gun" when referring to the M203, "Dragon Rife" when referring to the SVD Dragunov etc.

It = anything that is enemy (tank, chopper, sniper, medic, SL, grenadier, APC...).
Eg."Kill it! KILL IT!"
Sh!t = enemy tank/chopper looking at you.
Eg."Sh!t sh!t sh!t!!!!!!

saying Humvee when referring to any light vehicle with a gun on it.
eg: "Bring the chinese humvee over here!
Ammo techie - a technical refers to a pickup truck outfitted with a gun on it, thus if it does not carry a mounted weapon it is not a techie. the ammo techie is just a pickup truck

Information in the hands of a critical thinker is invaluable, information alone is simply dangerous.

In german communites you may hear "flares" for incendiary grenades. The missuse is because trip flares and phosphor grenades are using the same sound

Some people ask if the medic can resurrect them when they're wounded. Transport trucks are often called logi trucks.
