gi joe
Toy military man
GI Joe refers to an American soldier, originally World War II slang from "Government Issue" or "General Infantry." The term became iconic through the action figure line launched in 1964, marketed to boys as a military adventure toy.
By extension, GI Joe can describe any generic American serviceman or, dismissively, someone who embodies gung-ho military attitudes: He's such a GI Joe.
