“We were using that term in the military decades ago.”

It was a mild Navy/Marine term going back to at at least 1961.

As a rookie Seaman Apprentice, you quickly learned that when a Petty Officer used that term, you needed to get your act together.

When you became a Petty Officer, you used that term with fellow PO’ to remind them to be aware they might be heading to into trouble. You used it to get the attention of those lower in rank to shape up.

It never had any homosexual aspects.

Of course it would be scary for our snow flakes in our colleges today.
