I grew up in an area influenced very heavily by military, in particular navy slang.
One word, still in use, is 'mush', pronounced 'moosh'. {Short sound however not oo as in moo.
Right mush, lets get this finished.
Ok mush?
Where on earth does this single word have it's origins?
It's not mush, or mash.
Is the origin arabic.

Like many Pompey slang words, the origin lies within the Romany language. In this case, "mush" (pronounced as in "push") meaning "face" in Romani, is used by Portmuthians in the same way as "mate" - although can also be used more aggressively.
