Business Insider website shares a somewhat interesting explanation of some slang words, phrases and terminology that has filtered into everyday communications through soldiers merging back into society.  I had to laugh at a few of these terms because some of my family members still use them even after 20 years of being a civilian.

Hooah: anything requiring abundant enthusiasm
