Oddly enough, but today often cuts in the English language is accepted by the armed forces of America.With this consent, those who prefer to watch American films in the original language.There you can hear a huge number of abbreviations, the meaning of which we do not understand.
Where did the cuts?
Does not mean that the cuts that we hear in the movies, it is accepted in the US Army.They are found in Hollywood, but the veterans of Afghanistan or Iraq only laugh heard similar phrases.In fact, the soldiers of the American army is seriously outraged that the war films distort reality (at least in regard to the language).
no longer uses the word chopper , which denotes a helicopter or GI , which meant state property.More than 20 years ago, the US military was called in this way.But today, America is considered to be politically correct, and the country does not fall to such statements.
Military reduction in English
CHU comes from Containerized Housing Unit, which literally means "the unit for containers."This is a common cabins in which migrant workers live.Often, however, there can be seen a fairly large family, have created good conditions for life.In
COP, but not the American police
most popular cuts in the English language - Slang.Today, everyone understands the meaning cop .So called men dressed in ironed shirts with a variety of useful items to help clean up on American soil.However, if all the letters are the words of capital, it stands for Combat Outpost, which means "military outpost".It is slightly smaller than FOB .There are no special conditions for a comfortable stay.Their task - to protect and patrol the area.In his spare time you can relax a little.There are enough interesting cuts in the English language.For example, by connecting words Hobbit and FOB, there was quite an interesting reduction Fobbit .Translate definitely a word in Russian is difficult.Usually so disrespectfully called the soldiers who almost never leave FOB .
What chopper and other military terms
in 90 years in American action movies helicopters are often called chopper .For example, in the movie Predator, where Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a major role, it is the brutal expression, when it is practically impossible to control the situation, asks the question: "Where`s the chopper?"("Where's the helicopter?") And yet these cuts in the English language are found in Hollywood movies.But in the US Army helicopter for a long time so it does not call, he received another name - Bird .Word Dustoff represents medical evacuation using bird .Word Bone called an American bomber. Fitty - an American machine gun, which is quite an awesome view.And another frequently used reductions in military personnel of the US Army - Embed .This is the name given to the reporters who try to cover all events in military terms.These people are provided with food and live, usually in FOB .They wear flak jackets and military themselves are trying to protect their life and health.
Thus, in the speech of US troops can be heard quite often reduce, the value of which you need to know.After all, their meaning is ambiguous enough.And not all people are able to understand them correctly.
