Ah yes, Siseman, "mong", a very good word connotative of certain people and not just mongoloids or spazzes or the similarly afflicted!
Actually the non-slang or derogatory use of the term monger (a homonym) means:
denoting a dealer or trader in a specified commodity
.
As in "warmonger".
As an ex military sort yourself you would be aware of the so called "Mong Gong" pithily defined by ARRSEpedia as:
Officially titled the Queens' Golden Jubilee Medal 2002, this tacky and prolific trinket is also (and derogatorily) referred to as the Mong Gong - 'cause every mong's got one! Also referred to as the 'Luvly Jubbly'.
This gong should not be confused entirely with the ProNutro of the seventies, eighties and nineties in the SADF! The original ProNutro was a foul breakfast cereal that was ultimately found to contain carcinogenic grains and was discontinued although a safer version is still sold by Bokomo. The medal was admired about as much as the cereal hence the name.
The Pro Patria Medal was awarded to serving members of all ranks of the South African Defence Force. The conditions for award stipulated that the recipient had to have:
been involved in combat or a skirmish or combat situation or an incident caused by enemy activities, or
participated in a specific operation acknowledged by the Minister of Defence, or
served for a continuous period of 55 days or 90 days non-continuous duty in an operational area as designated by the Minister of Defence.
The wording on the certificate of award reads that the Pro Patria Medal was awarded for service in the defence of the Republic or for the prevention or suppression of terrorism.

My word of the day is
cacogenic, which by its prefix should describe something so awesome as to be indescribable! Sadly it describes something somewhat obverse in racial or genetic terms. Ah well! A bit like mong as well I guess.
Caco of course means "bad"!
Bad, bad Caco.
Caco
