Spent a good few hours chuckling at this absolute work of art. It’s the @RoyalMarines version of #JackSpeak and if you can get a copy do so.

@nplindley ... possibly inciting that Irish people wouldn’t do a very good job of using rope an a tidy fashion. It is no longer considered to be offensive today with the exception of being used to describe someone with skinny arms (See also: Pull-through).

@nplindley Irish pennant (aiy-rish-pe-nant) Noun: A loose thread or out-of-place piece of string found on an item of clothing. This word derives from the golden age of sail. Sailors would use this word, with potential offence, to refer to an untidy, loose or misplaced rope...

@RMBandService @bonnydeathridge See if I transferred to the Band Service? Would I be a Royal Marines Band Service Commando? And then got myself on the All Arms Commando Course? Would I then be a Royal Marines Band Service Commando Commando?

@beardedPT @nick_marsh1 @JahnineDavis Can also be used to describe the galley (See also: Galley). As a verb: To eat; consume. In the case of “scranning hoop”, the meaning changes (to lick). Example: "What are you scranning?" "Scranners-onners, Royal" “I’ve been scranning hoop”

However, when done in groups rules can differ: whoever is the odd one out can win regardless of choice. Owing to its popularity, the choice of rock is sometimes referred to as “pusser’s rock”. There is an unwritten understanding that “pusser’s rock always wins”.

“Bish Bash Bosh” is always done in a synchronised “three, two, one, show” movement, where participants gesture their fists in succession three times before revealing their choice of rock paper or scissors. Rock wins over scissors, paper wins over rock and scissors win over paper.
