Not really...I like the core, actually, so usually when I'm with someone who's eating an apple I have their core when they're finished./

and, James, that reminded me of a Mitch Hedberg quote:
"I'm not gonna stop doing something because of what happens at the end. 'Mitch, did you want an apple?' 'No, eventually it'll be a core!'"

As well.
Interesting that 'soldier-talk' made it into the popular vocab.
That happened quite a bit in this country because of conscription.
Phrases like
'light duty' (following a medical condition or procedure a serviceman would be given a 'light duty card', preventing him from performing any strenuous activity, especially punitive PT),
'us' (pronounced 'you-ess' it's the abbreviation for UnServicable, or broken),
'sick, lame and lazy' (daily sick call, or the walking wounded) and
'ou man' (literally 'old man', meaning a conscript with very few days left before 'klaaring out' (completing his national service), they were known for becoming NAAFI (either No Ambition and Fu..No Interest or Not At All F-ing Interested) can still be found in my generations general vocab.

It is well established that the highest rank in the SA Defense Force is an 'ou man' with a 'light duty card'.
