About Face - Rose

Her decision to become an actress instead of a dentist was an about face from her original plans.

‘About Face’ by Larry Durham

...
Origin

From the military command of the English Army - where it is still used. The earliest citation that I can find is from Manoeuvres, or Practical observations on the Art of War, 1711, by the English soldier, Major William Young.

Camouflage (W3)

...
Etymologist Robert K. Barnhart believes that the Italian "camuffare" comes from Medieval Latin "muffula" = "manipulation".

Camouflage
eine Aussage wird sprachlich so verhüllt, dass sie im Allgemeinen nur von einem eingeweihten Leserkreis in der beabsichtigten Weise verstanden werden kann; fungiert z.T. wie ein "Sprachversteck" bei einer politisch opponierenden Literatur als "Lesen zwischen den Zeilen" durch ihre semantische Mehrsinnigkeit, Metaphorik und ihre scheinbar naive Art zu zitieren

Military Terms of the Modern Era

The emphasis of this educational reference is on words and phrases that appear in published works about war and military service; and amongst this jargon and slang, there is no pretense of objectivity or completeness, which may be readily found in official documents or government resources. This fragmentary opus is a work in progress ....

Terminology and nomenclature, argot and cant, jargon and lingo can be confusing. One reason the military has trouble coordinating joint operations is that the different services don't speak the same language ....

NOVEMBER 22, 2004 (COMPUTERWORLD) - Deadline anxiety has long been with us, since well before your project team got up and running. In fact, the word "deadline" once indicated the boundary of a military prison, and to step over the "deadline" was to tempt gunfire. Modern office workers may not be aware of this etymology, but many nonetheless fear that they could be symbolically shot if they miss their deadlines.

Jeep (W3)

...
Die Etymologie des Wortes "Jeep" liegt allerdings im dunkeln. Die häufigstgehörte Version mit einer gewissen Wahrscheinlichkeit geht so: Als die amerikanische Armee sich im Zweiten Weltkrieg solche Fahrzeuge zulegte, nannte man diese, der Vorliebe aller Militärs für Abkürzungen folgend, "GP" für "general purpose", zu deutsch etwa "Allzweck"(-Fahrzeug). Nach englischen Ausspracheregeln klingt das "Dschih-Pih", woraus im Alltagsjargon der amerikanischen Soldaten bald "Dschihp" wurde und das schreibt sich englisch korrekt eben wieder "Jeep".

National Guard

National Guard, the name in some countries for the organized volunteer militia. The name was first used in 1789, during the French Revolution, when citizens of Paris and other French cities formed militias. The French no longer use the name National Guard for their militia forces, but the term is used for militias in the United States and a few Latin American countries.

Pumpgun (W3)

riding shotgun (W3)

...
The the term "shotgun messenger" or "shotgun guard" does indeed date back to stagecoach days. The term "riding shotgun" however seems to come from the movies of the 30s and 40s, referring to the stagecoach. The first references to "riding shotgun" meaning in an automobile seems to be from the early 1950s.
...
"Shotgun house" may well be folk etymology. In his book In Small Things Forgotten, archaeologist James Deetz makes the argument that "shotgun" in this phrase is a corruption of a word that means "house" in some West African language. I don't own a copy of the book, so I can't check the details.
...
Vlach has shown that a more likely possibility for the name's origin lies in the Yoruba word for house, to-gun, meaning place of assembly.
Footnote: John Vlach, "Shotgun Houses," Natural History, Vol. 87, no. 2 (1977), pp. 50-57.
...
I'm wild-ass guessing here, but it's possible that the term "riding shotgun" referring to an automobile was used in later movies about bootleggers and gangsters... That could easily conflate (is that the word) in the brain to actual booleggers' use?
...
Summarizing, my research indicated:
- 1880s actual stagecoach usage for "shotgun messenger" or "shotgun guard".
- 1939 Western movie usage for "riding shotgun" on a stagecoach
- 1954 usage for "riding shotgun" in an automobile
...
Just to be clear: the references I found said that the phrase "riding shotgun" emerged from movies (westerns, natch) of the 1940s. On my own, I watched John Ford's STAGECOACH (1939) and found two direct usages of "riding shotgun", so I have found an earlier cite than the other sources.
...
I do some amateur genealogy and have read thousands of Civil War documents. I know for a fact that soldiers/guards on the railroads were referred to as "shotgun guards" and/or "shotgun riders".

Sticklers, Sideburns and Bikinis
The Military Origins of Everyday Words and Phrases

Kurzbeschreibung
Did you know they started "hearing through the grapevine" during the American Civil War, that "ghettos" originated in Venice or that "deadline" has a very sinister origin? Jam-packed with many amazing facts, "Sticklers, Sideburns and Bikinis" is a fascinating trip through the words and phrases that came to us from the military but nowadays are used by soldier and civilian alike. The sources of many are surprising and their original use is often far removed from that of today. From "duds" to "freelancers" and "morris dancing" to "bikini" this enthralling book describes the military origins of words that we use without thought on a daily basis.

Garrison, Cheryl (Author)
The Encyclopedia of Civil War Usage
An Illustrated Compendium of the Everyday Language of Soldiers and Civilians

Product Description
NOW IN PAPERBACK! There are few systematic guides to the language used by the generation that fought the American Civil War. In the 150 years since the great conflict, our language has changed, and as meanings have become obscure or lost, links with this vibrant past have dissolved and much of that which had meaning to our forefathers no longer has the same meaning to us.

What did it mean "to cross the bar"? What did it mean "to see the elephant" or "to go South"? Why did the armies have so-called ninety-day men and hundred-day men? What were soldiers supposed to do when their commander shouted, "Let her go, Gallagher"? How did one "pay tribute to Neptune"? What was a "picket pin"? Could one make a passable meal of "possum beer" and "secession bread"? How did one "vibrate the lines", and why would anyone want to attempt such a maneuver?

To address this need, Webb Garrison has pored over his notes from more than thirty years of research and study to produce this dictionary and encyclopedia of words and phrases (including nicknames and slang) commonly used during the war. Where appropriate, examples and anecdotes are included to illustrate meanings. Often overlooked naval terms and esoteric formal and informal military expressions are addressed as well as short descriptions of oceangoing vessels and river craft.
