Was "BOHICA" a term commonly used in 'Nam?

I can't say I like the name, and certainly don't find it appealing, but perhaps it had period relevance that should outweigh my aversion?

If this has already been discussed, please let me know and I'll read that discussion.

Yes.

Evidently originated in WW2 but mainly used in Vietnam.

"BOHICA. BOHICA stands for Bend Over, Here It Comes Again. The meaning is that something undesirable is going to happen again and that there's not much else one can do other than just endure it."

Along with many other famous military slang terms.

Yeah, we used those, particularly SNAFU, FUBAR, and BOHICA.  We also used DILLIGAF......which is slang-acronymese for "Does It Look Like I Give a F**K"?

I can see me using the last one soon

My copy of BOHICA arrived today.

First impression is very good.

[CapnJim]

First impression is very good.

Mine too.  I'll start reading it in earnest, likely tomorrow with a little bourbon after I shovel some more f***in' snow....

Think this is the first set of rules I have ever seen with an age restriction - this in itself could be a reason to purchase them...

- "These products are not advisable for under 14 years old unless supervised by an adult." See:https://www.empressminiatures.com/bohica-rule-set-2933-p.asp

[Paul @ Empress Miniatures]

Thats to stop you eating them. Oh and the picture on page 23
