Bum wad -- originally British slang for toilet paper, it has expanded to mean newspapers, particularly newspapers with a liberal editorial bias, like the LA Times.

Congress Colonel -- a pejorative term for someone who second-guesses the military strategy to gain political points. Sort of like a Monday-morning quarterback. Or John McCain.

Boxer shorts -- brief quotations from Sen. Barbara Boxer of California. Generally so ill-informed and hyperbolic as to be hilarious. Often used as jokes to break the stress of battle.
