Deep breath. I apologize for the ankle-bracelet-stay away from kids snark, but I honestly thought you might have been an English Teacher who lost it over grammar and beat up a kid. Every teacher has probably been tempted at some point. You have an MOS of cryptolingiust, so SIGINT and HUMINT are your playgrounds. You probably spent a lot of time in Ft. Huachuca and Meade, I guess. Your reference to Ft. Ord makes you probably (spelled right here) retired at least 15 years.
As you know from your service. time in grade exists in all social structures. As a rookie cop, you don't sit in the back with the veterans, you sit up front, listen, take notes, and STFU unless asked directly. Your comment history shows 400, so you're a rookie here. That's OK, everybody starts there, but you shouldn't be criticizing veterans right off the bat. You're gonna get slapped down hard, as you are in violation of the Wonkette version of UCMJ 134.
Which brings us to the subject matter, use of slang. As a #98, you should have a better understanding of slang than an 11-B. Slang is used by members of a sub-group, and it functions as a "are you in or not?" filter. Mlitary, scientist, cop, lawyer, doctor, everybody does it. If you don't use it, don't get it, and insist that members already in the group change to make you happy, then guess what?

All my cats are indoor cats, all the time also too. Cats have a strong prey drive, like some breeds of dogs do. If they see something moving, they pounce. I love cats, but left to roam, they're in constant danger, and so are small native wildlife.
Oh, no question. I used to live in a very old house near a patch of bush and a trotting venue. It was OVERRUN with mice. As in, they would saunter out and party in the middle of the loungeroom floor as I was watching TV. And the cupboards were unspeakable. It was ridiculous.
We got a cat. Suddenly, no more mice. Although we did have a thoroughly distasteful period where the cat would eat those parts of the the mouse she just fancied and...leave the rest lying around. Stepping on a disemboweled mouse torso as you stagger to the loo at 6am is no way to start your day.
We didn't realise HOW MANY mice she was eating until we took her away on holiday and saw how much her food consumption went up. We thought she'd been eating mainly commercial food with the odd snack of mouse. Nope. She'd been eating mainly mouse with the odd snack of commercial food.
She's the main reason I believe ALL cats kill. She had plenty to eat without hunting. She had the sleepiest, cuddliest, most loving personality imaginable. And she slaughtered small mammals every chance she got. In her extreme old age, she still had to be restrained from attacking the native lizards in my daughter's back yard.
SquintsSpits 'baccy juiceKinda new 'round here aintcha?Listen, pardner, if you wanna be the Grammar Cop 'round here, ya gotta have time-in-grade. But mebbe y'all can get a sub teaching gig and make your passion your paycheck?
Oh, yeah, no college, bummer, dudeAnd that ankle-bracelet and Court Decree "500 yards from any school with minor children" is a Deal-breaker. But from your meager comment history, why not mosey down to Breightfart and volunteer as a Grammar Cop? You'd fit right in.
Oh, and Mom says if you want a Hot Pocket, you have to walk to the store and buy some
OK
