"barracks bunny" means: A military servicewoman who sleeps with many other soldiers.. Register: informal slang, fine in casual conversation, texting and social media but not in academic essays, business writing or formal speech. A common non-native mistake is to use the word in the wrong register, or to assume one fixed meaning when it is actually polysemous; always check the surrounding register and the audience before producing it yourself. In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.

Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.

Military slang for a soldier who has an inflated sense of their legal or regulatory knowledge and likes to argue rules, regulations, or rights with superior officers — without any actual legal training. The 'barracks lawyer' is typically seen as a nuisance: the person in any unit who always has an opinion on what the rules say, usually to complain or avoid duty. The term is broadly contemptuous and implies that the person's 'expertise' is self-appointed and often wrong. Equivalent civilian terms include 'jailhouse lawyer.'
