Old, but .....

3dFrontier.com forum commentary on the best science fiction battlecries.  (Though some of these ... well, quite a few, actually ... don't originate from SF.)

I notice the forum missed a few.  Two in particular spring to mind; the first:

Muad'dib!

And if "Semper fi, do or die" belongs in there, then so does the other motto of Uncle Sam's Misguided Chidren:

Hey diddle diddle, straight up the middle.

And I'd like to nominate one more, even though it isn't SF either, and doesn't even have the connection of the Once And Future Marines to carry it into the category.  But I think it carries as much weight and honor, and means just as much, as any of the entries nominated on that list and above.

It's just two words.

Let's roll.

It's very similar to a rolled "r".

Put the tip of your tongue at the point at which the back of your top front teeth meet your gum. Exhale such that your tongue vibrates, like the purring of a cat. Now vocalize, falsetto. It sounds like you took Johnny Weismuller or a Hollywood-esque Indian cry and put it on fast-forward.

If you've ever seen traditional tribal belly dance, you may have heard something similar, but it's made using a different technique....
