"Semper Fi" is short for Semper Fidelis, the motto of the Marine Corps meaning "always faithful". Only Marines get to greet each other with the phrase.

Happy Birthday Jarheads. ..

Pop culture's comparison of the 200+years of Marine Corps history in a cheap wrestling poser. Sometimes you gotta wonder.

"Semper Fi" is short for Semper Fidelis, the motto of the Marine Corps meaning "always faithful".

And a common bastardization about 3 decades ago was "Semper Gumby", for "Always Flexible".

Of course, I also got a chuckle the first time I went to Disneyland after I joined, and saw the motto for Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

I guess "semper" is used a lot". The motto of the state of Virginia is "Sic Semper Tyrannis" "Thus Aways to Tyrants".
