My least favorite ones is:
"Toy" - Gun, uncommonly used alone but often used in combination with other words like "Toy Store." I dislike this particular bit of slang because GUNS AREN"T TOYS. This language breeds complacency and complacency breeds spontaneous hole production.

"Oh, you're a pilot!"
"That's right, ma'am, a naval aviator."
from Top Gun.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We referred to them as "Nasal Radiators"
Maverick - Pilot (Nasal Radiator)
Goose - NFO - Naval Flying Officer (Naval Flying Object)
F/A-18 Hornet - Lawn Dart
F-14 Tomcat - Turkey
Anyone who flies the F/A-18 - FAG (Fighter/ Attack Guy)
They hate that one!

MarkDido,
Having served in RVAH-7, I observed that the name "turkey" was already taken by the RA5C, which was a flunked-out bomber turned into a recce aircraft. A bit big for flight decks, but they landed and launched them, anyway. It was callede a turkey because it was a large North American bird that couldn't fly worth a - - - - .
MrAcheson,
Dan Wesson was showing his [then] new revolver at an NRA show one year in the very early 70's, and I happened by while he was discussing it with an older gentleman. Mr. Wesson concluded, enthusiastically, "Pretty nice toy, huh?" The other fellow got a bit huffy, and said, "Guns are not toys." Mr. Wesson never missed a beat, replying immediately, "Of course, they are. If they weren't, we'd each own only one."
As you can see, I haven't forgotten that.

My rat-ba$**** step son-in-law is either a Mall Ninja or a Poser.
When I take him hunting or shooting, he's decked out like a Navy Seal. He even carries a Sig that he can't hit anything with. He goes to watering holes and tries to impress everyone that he either still is or was a Seal. Of course I know he wasn't. The only reason I take him hunting is because he is dumb...... I use him to flush birds and he doesn't even realize it.

They - the goverment or government agency, for some the "real" goverment behind the goverment, the unmentionable who are undoubtedly watching
Some who are very "they" aware and/or "they" sensative do not post their location in their profile, do not resond to pm's, and do respond to threads in which folks list some of their firearms or other personally identifyable information with things like "I wouldn't be posting this here if I were you. You know, THEY are watching." and the like.

Process Server -- The guy you walks up to you asks if you're Somebody B. Something, then hands you the divorce papers, etc.

SOL: When involved in a gun fight where your being shat at, and you are hit, you are considered "Shat out of Luck".

When the SHTF make sure you grab your:

watch yer six (traveling as by the hands of a clock)
be aware of what is behind you
be aware of what is behind you
BOB: three cheese sandwiches your wife made sometime in the last century and you sealed in a ziploc freezer bag. 16 shells, unmarked for a handgun you no longer own. 1 can government cheese. 4 fish hooks you inevitably sink into your fingers every time you try to re-stock the bag. 1 pouch gorp (m&m's missing). 1 can US "emergency drinking water" bought at a surplus store for a dime when you were 16... 14 maxipads, a bandana and a travel version of the "cleaning kit"... one greeen brush on a length of string. 1 MRE, tobasco and chewing gum missing.
BUG: Any gun smaller than a full sized 1911, shoved haphazardly into a pocket, waistband, cumberbun or... "Plumber's Crease" so you can buy a Latte in relative safety. You actually made the "yes thats a gun in my pants" joke to the barista... and you have been banned from Starbucks for life.
BUG Dog: a dog that really isn't much for hunting but likes to ride in the car, go to the park etc. Wags excitiedly as you slip a PPk in your pocket... knows this means it's frisbee time.
Race Gun: slightly more doodads hanging off a pistol than the average M-4 carried by a Mall Ninja during SHTF scenarios. Race guns are blisteringly accurate, if fired at sea level at an ambient temperature of 72 degrees with a relative humidity of 25% and no discernable wind. Any other time all bets are off. Only owned by guys in terminator shades and cop mustaches.
Muzzle Brake: dooodad your other cousin Darrel decided to show you by unlimbering a shot across the hood of your new Durango. You are now deaf in one ear, and the Durango needs the hood repainted.
Muzzle Break: Larry tried to put one on your deer rifle for Christmas.
Manstopper: any film invloving guns and Angelina Jolie.
Target Loads: upon firing will dribble out of the barrel, roll towards the target and put a neat dent in the x-ring. Usually fired froma "Race Gun"
Turkey Loads: Aunt Marie once showed you her old Steven 311 Uplander that she kept in the Kitchen. You coyly asked her why she'd need a shotgun in her kitchen and she slyly pointed out the back door at the winding rutted driveway that led back to the "hard road" and how one time some Bikers decided to stop off and smoke a "marywhana" cigarette on her driveway. She grabbed her shotgun and let them Turkeys know she wasn't feeling in a Christian mood that day. Or as she said "Rock salt my ass!" She also claims to have shot a deer from her bathroom.
Huntin' buddies: Anyone you will tolerate with a beer in one hand and a gun in the other.
Viet Cong Deer: The one that almost got away. Wiley, crafty, paintstakingly tough to track on your hands and knees for hours. Antlers 1 centimeter over legal.
Sunday Buck: One you wouldn't shoot at on saturday morning, but you will shoot on Sunday as the sun is going down and the cooler is almost empty.
Night sights: a flashlight duct taped to the barrel of an H&R 12 ga, the spotlight mounted to the doorframe of an F-150.
Duck Blind: sitting in a cold muddy hole before dawn with a wet dog shivering with lukewarm coffee while a perfectly sane beautiful woman lays curled up sleeping peacefully in a warm fuzzy bed somewhere else.

In short, a process server is a person who's job it is to walk up to a person and give them an official document from the court. It could be a subpoena, or a summons, or other sort of court document.
Usually the person being served has no idea they're going to be served. While they are still mentally processing the information, the process server can get the heck away from that person. It seems to be a fairly safe occupation.
In Missouri, process servers may carry a concealed weapon.
Missouri Revised Statute 506.145
506.145. Any person authorized to issue or serve process is authorized to carry a concealed firearm, the provisions of any other law to the contrary notwithstanding.
In the City of Saint Louis, the Sheriff's Department has a program where you take a four day course, pay insurance, get a nifty i.d, and you can become a registered process server.
Some people who wanted to carry a CCW became process servers before Missouri's CCW law passed.
Now, some Sheriffs will not issue CCW permits, so citizens of Missouri get non-resident permits from states such as Florida.
