Andy Hoffmann, a first lieutenant with the United States Marine Corp, joins the Idiots (Marcello and Ethan) for a behind-the-scenes look at military idioms and language.

From 'act like a boot' to 'blue falcon', we explore the idioms used on a military base and how it reflects the marines and larger military culture. Then we take a look at military idioms used in everyday American English, such as 'the whole 9 yards' and 'got your 6' (20:15).

To finish it off, we play IWI's very own game show, the Idiots Gambit (30:15).
