IN THE MEDIA
Oct. 16, 2025 - As Marines, we share more than just service - we share a way of speaking that reflects who we are: our grit, humor, pride and unbreakable brotherhood. Over the years, I began collecting the sayings, slang and stories that define the Corps’ unique spirit.

I’m not a Marine myself, but I have one in my life — and this book helped me understand him (and his humor) so much better. It’s sharp, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt in how it captures the language and culture of the Corps. I even found myself adding a couple of “Marine words” to my own vocabulary, just to use playfully.
Whether you want to connect more deeply with the Marine in your life, or you’re just fascinated by military culture, The Devil Dog Dictionary is a must-have—and honestly, a perfect gift for any Marine you know.
