"MORTER" - a word that does not exist, and has not existed since before the King James Bible.


"MORTAR" - Several meanings, the one most germane to this discussion being an indirect fire infantry weapon.

"FGIF" - A reminder to mortarmen to insert the round correctly into the tube - "Fins Go In First."

"Beaucoup" - a French word meaning "much" which found it's way into IndoChinese pigeon English with a pronunciation of "Bow-coo."

"Dinki-dau" A poor attempt to say "Dien Cai Dau" - VietNamese which literally means "Sick in (the) head." Like a dog poisoner.
