I don’t want no horsing around on the airplane. To "horse around" is to play around or act like small children. Earphones. Small devices that you can put in your ear to listen to a radio or phone without disturbing others. Is it possible this is some kind of loyalty test? In this case, a type of test to see whether a person is likely to follow instructions, even if those instructions are difficult to carry out. Give the go-code and recall to see who would actually go? The "go-code" is the Air Force instructions to pilots to actually carry out their mission (in this case, to bomb the Soviet Union). To "recall" a plane is to tell it to come back or return from where it was going. Ain’t nobody ever got the go-code yet. A very ungrammatical way of saying "Nobody has ever..." You should never use the word ‘ain’t’! Old Ripper wouldn’t be giving us Plan R unless those Ruskies had already clobbered Washington and other towns with a sneak attack. "Ruskie" is a very dated and silly way of referring to the Russians. "To clobber" a person is to hit them very hard. A "sneak attack" is a sudden and unexpected military strike. Well boys, I reckon this is it. "To reckon" is an old-fashioned but still used word meaning to think. Something doggoned important is going on back there. "Doggoned" is a dated and silly way of saying very. I got a fair idea of some of the emotions some of you fellows may be thinking. "Fellow" is another word for guy. Heck, I reckon you wouldn’t even be human beings if you didn’t have some strange feelings about nuclear combat. "Heck" is an old-fashioned filler word used to express emotion such as surprise or anger. "Combat" is another word for war or fighting. Folks back home are counting on you, and by golly, we ain’t about to let them down. "Folks" is another word for people. "To count on" a person is to depend on them. "By golly" is a very dated way of showing emotion. "To let a person down" is a common way of saying to disappoint them. If this turns out to be half as important as I figure it might be, you’re all in line for some important promotions and personal citations. If a situation "turns out" well, it concludes or ends up well. "To figure" is to think or believe. A "promotion" is a raise in salary or job responsibility and "personal citations" are awards or official letters of thanks, in this case from the Air Force. Regardless of your race, color or creed... Another word for religious or philosophical belief. General Turgidson learns of the crisis as Ripper seals off his base, and then explains to Mandrake the real reason the communists must be eliminated... Oh, we’re just catching up on some of the generals’ paperwork. "To catch up on" work is do what s
