Oh that's great guy, I'm touched having all of you getting me some translation just because I had my army courses in French .

I always thought buckshee meant half-assed or improvised.
Of course, grunt for army, pigeon for air force also come to mind.
I guess I'm dating myself then, because my Dad (who was air force) called all army guys grunts (50s-70s). They returned the favour by calling him a pigeon, which he said harks back to the light blue unis they used to have before unification (looked kinda like pigeon shit).
My uncle....actually my mom's uncle, used to refer to the sheep molesting, ditch sleeping, ground pounding types as pongos(sp?). He served on the HMCS Uganda during WW2.
