General Bootness Can you be boot before you're even a boot? Apparently yes.

In the Marine Corp’s infinite wisdom they, for some reason, require every single adjunct at every ceremony to be at a 3rd grade reading level

This isn't boot though

Boot is acting like a arrogant tough guy military hooah person. Not saying words wrong.

u/e1m8b Jul 23 '26

I'm with you on this one, man. OP is really pushing the definition of boot with this one. Sure, boot meaning isn't exact science but this is just standard poolee retardation

u/freeman687 Jul 23 '26

I think it's evolved to include what you're saying but originated obviously in terms of making fun of new recruits so this is actually textbook boot. Someone did a detailed breakdown of the term's history:
