Some translations of phrases typically heard on channel 1 in the MA:
"You alt monkey!" = I am low. slow and out of ideas.
"You HO Dweeb!" = I have just failed to HO you.
"Ack runner!" = Come out and fight me and my 40 friends or we will kamikaze your base flat!

Hizookas: Slang for the British Hispano 20mm cannon. Hispano + Bazooka = Hizooka. Thats about the lethality of the gun.
