I think the big difference is understanding when something is just a part of your life vs your entire identity

An archives account might not be a bad idea, assuming the archives are still around, work, and don't require radium gypsy code levels of knowledge to read. If nothing else, chock it up as a robotic spine donation to the 'tax.

poo poo, you don't even need that. They're public records in the Library of Congress. I might dig around a little later for them if no one else does.

Looking forward to forums poster UP THE BUM NO BABY being cited in an academic paper.

If it doesn't happen here I'll be a little self serving and try and get myself published this summer, and I may cite myself on the forums for it

Anecdotally, I'd say this is the case. The military dialect isn't just the jargon and acronyms, it's also the liberal use of profanity.

Though then I suppose the question is whether the it's a case of service members of whichever gender adopting the military's mode of speaking, if the military is giving them freedom and permission to adopt more profane language, or if the language is inherently male and females feel pressured to adopt it to fit in. Or some combination of the three.

gently caress it man, who gives a poo poo what people think about the way that you use profanity. there's no rule anywhere that says you can't curse or you won't be allowed to be remembered by history or something. plus, life is short, use the language that suits you best.
