Thelbert (Whitey) Roark – I'm familiar with "Un-ass the area" but what does the phonetic spelling of 'S-H-D-S' represent when used in context?

SH = Shit Hot, most often heard in the presence of pilots.
DS = Dog shit, pretty much the opposite of SH.

Tango Uniform = Tits Up - broken or dead
DS = Dog Shit was also a meteorological term for bad weather
Excuse me, sir, but I believe you have me confused with someone who gives a shit.

SPC Jan Allbright, M.Sc., R.S. – Thanks for sharing! This is one of my favorite military asyndetonic series. I learned it during the Cold War while undergoing Platoon Confidence Training (PCT) with 10th Special Forces Group Rangers at Bad Tolz, Germany. Unfortunately, most veterans cut it short when using it, thereby diminishing its maximum Ranger-rhetorical effects. I think the full Monty is, "high-speed, low-drag, crew-served, gizmo-operated, gyro-propelled _______." Please share if you find contradicting information. Thanks again!
