Bend over. Here it comes again. Had a Navy buddy that used that term.
Glad to see that this board does not always make me dumber! I learned something today. Thank you!
also associated with the phrase, "the screw may stop turning, but the shaft never ends"
DILLIGAF can work in the right situation. It's not an official one, but AMF is awesome. AdiosMF
We used Bohica all the time when I was a first year resident ("intern" as some would call it). When the second year admitting resident would call you in the middle of the night after just finishing your work-up of the last admission he would exclaim "Bohica" and you know what was coming.
Other terms:
Signed out AMA YO YO MF - signed out against medical advice, you're on your own MF

Here is another Navyism we used ( invented ) and used on the flight deck of the Eisenhower back in the 80s.
PYHOOYA. Pie - Hoo - Ya.

I think I got it thanks to my wife. When I showed it to her she looked at the pronunciation and immediately said "Ya" is "your a$$". Then I figured OO had to be "out of" and the rest fell into place. Pull your head out of your a**.
