Default request for ideas on decoding jet jock slang

Hi, guys.

An acquaintance has asked me to help decode a bit of
Navy pilot jargon his daughter heard at a Poli Sci lecture.
The prof is a former Tomcat pilot, and was apparently
regaling the class with Tomcat tales. He used the
acronym "SBFAFP" (spelled out, not spoken as a word
as Navy types are wont to do) and told them that "FP"
stood for "Fighter Pilot."

Having known a few Tomcat drivers, I immediately
thought of a possible decode which is not very
professional or polite when spoken to or around
someone's daughter (but then, he IS a Tomcat pilot).

Anyone ever heard this one, or have an idea on how
to break it?



TIA,

Jeff
