The English language has evolved organically, gathering words and phrases from different languages, countries, and communities.
It should come as no surprise that many of the words in English have come from the military. For centuries, soldiers have developed their own way of speaking and created words to describe their unique circumstances.
Some of those words and phrases have managed to make it into the wider language, even if the meaning sometimes changes.
Learn more about the English words and phrases with military origins on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
