Gash Bin. A place to deposit gash.

Drip Sess. A chance for a mass drip from everyone.
Goffer. To A. Hit someone, B. a large wave, C. a soft drink.
Goffer Waller. A person selling Soft Drinks.
Chins. The chin is flicked by the fingers of one hand, meaning hard luck, suffer, I don't care!
My Heart Pumps Purple Piss! I don't care about your problems.
Gronk. An ugly female.
Trapping. Trying to pull a female member of the human race.
Gronk Trapping. A competion to see who can trap the ugliest woman.
Foo foo Dust. Talcum Powder.
Scran. Food.
Aden Sippers. Being very frugal with your drinking water as in not downing it all in one go.
Runashore. A night out on the town.
Oppo. Your mate/Runashore Oppo.
Pusser. The Navy/Marines
Proffing. Obtaining an item without paying, Getting a bit of good luck for a change.
There a loads more so I will leave other members who have served or are serving to add to the list. If you want to then go to http://www.jackspeak.com/
Rick Jolly the author was a Surgeon Commander in the Navy who served with the Corp before during and after the Falklands. Know him personally. Once he asked me to run off some headed notepaper for him when I was at Portmouth Dockyards Printshop. Agreed at once just so long as he paid! Whilst preparing his note paper for printing I noticed that amongst all the letters after his name one was CP. CP? I thought, what the hells that then?
Belled Rick, "Sir what the flying fecks CP mean?" I asked him. His reply had me in tears. "C*nt Plumber" (Rick was a Gynagologist as well as being a Naval Surgeon) so take it as read he's a belting bloke in all ways!
