Tango Uniform ~ Polite phonetics for "tits up"; broken, not functioning.
Wash Out ~ To not make the grade at flight school.
Whiskey Charlie ~ Phonetics for "Who cares"
Whiskey Delta ~ Phonetics for "weak dick", a pilot who can't cut it. Such a scurrilous term that it's almost never used. Wingman ~ Second pilot in a two-ship pair. responsible for ensuring that his leader's six o'clock remains clear.
