This “dictionary” of terms is meant to provide the information necessary to translate fighter pilot slang and jargon; it’s a Rosetta stone to fighter pilot “lingo,” if you will.\u00a0 There is some language on this page that should not be repeated or may otherwise be inappropriate.<\/b> They are here only<\/i> so that you can interpret fighter pilot terminology.\u00a0 Some relevant non-fighter pilot terms are also included.<\/p>\n

Most of these terms are literally slang or unofficial terms.\u00a0 To read about official brevity communications, reference the Joint Publication on brevity comm<\/a> (PDF)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ever wonder why you hear a fighter pilot say “cranium” or “skull” instead of “head?”\u00a0 For insight as to why fighter pilots sometimes use “abnormal” words in an “normal” way, read here<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
