TeufelHunde in German, or in English, Devil Dog.

A head banging tribute to the fierce fighting style of the U.S. Marines. The title "Teufelhunden" translates into "Devil Dogs", and it is the nickname German soldiers gave to Marines during the battle of Belleau Wood in 1918 by an offical report. Ever since, the nickname Devil Dog has been common in the United States Marine Corps.

THEY ALSO CALL US.

DEVIL, KILLER, DEVIL PUPS (YOUNG MARINE CHILDREN), HARD DOGS, AND A FEW JUST TO NAME A FEW

Often referred to as Jarheads.

You can call a woman marine a BAM - if you want to carry your teeth home in your pocket!

M-A-R-I-N-E-S= Muscles Are Required, Intelligence Not E-Sential.

Gyrenes - a term the Navy came up with to insult the Marines, but they liked it

Uncle Sam's Misguided Children

Also leathernecks -- from an archaic uniform no longer in use (same with jarheads).
