Whiskey Tango Foxtrot was my latest catchphrase and now it's going to be the title of this movie. :(

The nerve of her! Always knew that Tina was up to no good.

The nerve on that woman.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning!

Surely... you jest? It's been a stock phrase in the US military since the Reagan Era, maybe longer... WTF basically replaced FUBAR...

Yep, I use it quite frequently. "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Over."

Go ahead and trademark Army codenames why don't you. I have to say the phonetic alphabet everyday at work down a headset' i do not work in The RAF or Army. So why do I not go around saying "Lima Mike Foxtrot Alpha Oscar" Mostly because the people who use text speak are not intelligent enough to come up with "catchphrases" like that, if you can call them that?

I have been using Whiskey Tango for "white trash" since Generation Kill, as in "my whiskey tango neighbors are slinging crack again". Tons of other great mil-speak in that series too.
