Men In Korea Have Created Bill To Enlarge
Their Own Special "Lingo"
By H. D. Ql'IGG
(SOMEWHERE IN KOREA —
nJP) —Quigg’s Guido to Phrases
used.
Panic
in use in Korea:
(All in current usage — more
or less.) A good many of them
you have to know in order to
make any sense out ni conver-
sations between soldiers out
here. Sonic blossomed in this
war. Some have made come-
backs.
(Anyone loudly claiming to
tave heard any of them first in
Ip Spanish-Amerioan war is
kindly invited to come out here
so I can clobber him oxer the
head with a baseball bat.)
llassel — an argument, disa-
greement, hard time, fight, e.g.,
“\Ve got. into a hassel about our
rations.”
No Sweat — Means something
was no bother or trouble. You
thank someone for doing some-
thing for you and he
(no sweat.”
^ Got It — As in •'lie’s got it
made.” Means a person is well
set up, has plenty of whatever
ho wants, has triumphed.
I Got News For You: You're
Wrong, null — You have the
wrong information. (Was used
especially among liaison pilots;
now has spread.)
Hug Out—To get the hell our
of wherever you are. "Let’ bug
out of here.” Goes well with re-
peats.
Cut a Trail—To bug out. Used
by outfits whose commanding
officers have given orders that
the phrase "hug out” will not he
Hutton—Usually sorne-
Ixxl.v "pushed,” “presses," or
“hits” it. A joking expression
u id to cover almost anything.
When ;m outfit moves, wags will
remark, "t-omcbod.v hit the panic
button.” some guys in the rear
areas even have a well-labeled
panic button on the wall by their
tiesks.
Prize expression when the
Army bugged out of Seoul:
“They moved the panie button to
Pusan.”
Mils (pronounced Moose) or
Mouse (pronounced mouse)—girl
friend. A term picked up in
Japan during the occupation,
from Hie Japanese word “Musu-
iiii'" (pronounced Moosoomay).
What’s the Mig Picture?—First
thing a soldier asks of a corres-
pondent.
You’re fat, or, he’s fat—means
replies, I well fixed, has plenty. (Especial-
ly by Navy carrier pilots).
Clobber—-To hit hard, really
slaughter. "We clobbered them
with artillery.’’ (never caught on
too well in World War II hut go-
ing great guns in Korea.)
Thom Cook The enemy,
(look—A term used loosely by
.soldiers for Pacific island natives
and Orientals generally. Had
about died out in Japan before
this war darted. Had big come-
back in Korea. Now, South Ko-
rean soldiers call North Korean
soldiers (looks.

Francisco claims she got this big, SI500 check—which the bank
wouldn't honor—and little else for sitting on a 60-foot pole from
August 1 to January 1 this year. Erma filed suit against her
former employer, “Horsetrader Ed” Shapiro, charging he failed to
make good on his promises of S7500 cash, a 1950 Cadillac and a
mink coat if she broke world’s flagpole sitting record—which she did.
