K-Bar

Besides being the name of the knife used by US Army and Marines, k-bar can also be used as a verb. So if a k-bar knife is used to kill someone they can be said to have been k-barred.

You heard that STRAC REMF went missin' on patrol?
Yeah, heard too someone k-barred the bastard an' left 'im in the boonies.
No shit?
No shit.

CNA

CNA stands for Certified Nursing Assistant. These are people who are underpaid and usually underappreciated. They work hard, doing the menial or unpleasant jobs which, if they weren't done would make the patients life intolerable. They usually carry out their work with no fuss and are frequently moaned at by the patients they look after. Nurses tend to look down on them, and it was possibly from this quarter that they received the sobriquet 'Cleaner of Nasty Arses'.

When my Gran was in hospital, there was this CNA who was brilliant. She looked after my Gran as if she was her own.

Ripped him a second asshole

This can also be ripped her a second asshole. Originally this phrase meant to attack someone with vicious and overwhelming brutality but, over time the meaning changed to become to reprimand someone so totally and effectively that it effectively destroyed them. If you have ripped him (or her) a second asshole you have administered the ultimate put down.

Jay, you know that wanker Malcolm ruined the design for the new website? Well the boss called him into his office and ten minutes later Malcolm came out, he was pale and shaking and I think he'd pissed himself! The boss sure ripped him a second asshole and on top of that he got potted!

londoncentric

A word used to describe the attitude of Londoners who seem incapable of realising that places other than London even exist. It describes the attitude that London is the centre of the universe and that anywhere else in the country or even the rest of the world is unimportant and not worthy of their attention. In short it describes people whose heads are so far up their own arseholes that if their eyes aren't brown then they ought to be.

Since he was moved to HQ, Malcolm has become really londoncentric.

Malcolm must think the boss is suffering from piles, he's got his head so far up the boss's arse it's a suppository.
I don't know about the boss, but Malcolm gives me pygalgia.
