2007-2011:

Skating: To avoid work while simultaneously flying below the radar regarding such. A sort of "Getting off easy" compared to everyone else, whether by intent or luck. "Fuck, man, did you see the roster? That Tom Jones dude is fuckin' skating hard. His cock-sheath has kept him off these details for the last three months, and the last one he even got fuckin' assigned to was cancelled due to the snowstorm."

Pogey bait: Candy and other unhealthy snacks, named duly because you can theoretically use it as bait for POGs (Person-Other-than-Grunt; support troops).

Basically just being slick at getting out of work.

Also called Shamming (primarily Army).

Those who failed at the bolded part came to be known to NCOs as shitscreens

Not saying it's new.

Yeah, I heard it called "shamming" while in Jump as a Marine Sgt in 2000.

I was USMC 99-05 and been Army (Guard) since 2010. Def hear shamming used in the Army. Also, nice, I went to jump in 2001 as a Cpl.

I still find myself using Marine Corps jive occasionally.
