marine
When used as a noun to refer to a member of the military, it is often capitalized as "Marine" (especially when referring to the U.S. Marine Corps). As an adjective, it is used generally for anything related to the ocean, such as "marine life" or "marine pollution." Avoid confusing this with "maritime," which usually refers more specifically to shipping, navigation, and commercial trade on the sea.
💬Trò chuyện
🎬Tuesday afternoon, Leo is in his room playing a tactical shooter while David is at his office.
David Smith
Son, your uncle's buddy is a marine. He can help you with that 'discipline' thing.
Leo Smith
Dad, please stop capping. I'm literally just gaming.
💡
David is attempting to be the 'cool/helpful dad' by suggesting a military connection for discipline, while Leo uses the Gen-Z slang 'capping' (meaning lying or exaggerating) to dismiss the suggestion as absurd.
