I guess giving someone a heads up is the same as SA. Down range is one that I use, but it wasn't on the list. I had a 1SG who used to call the more tore up soldiers soup knots, I use this one in reference to well just about anything that irritates.

Missing:
Blue Falcon
Hurry up and wait
Go find
Battle Rhythm
SWOT
Safety Briefing
Dayho
Zero dark thirty

And that's just off the top of my head.

Soup-sandwich, for sure. I think the imagery is hilarious! I chuckle to myself every time I hear it, or say it myself.

I use a few of them. I don't really care that some dude made a list of his worst military sayings. I've got my pet peeves too.

I can honestly say I don't use any on the list. I do say "Buddy F-c-er", but not a crazy amount.

Another I don't use, but isn't on the list - "Hooah". I think this is the laziest, stupidest expression out there. Is it really so hard to say, "Got it?" or "Ok" or "Do you understand?" or "I understand"?
