      Someone in the military, especially Navy or Marines, who stays in because hes too scared of civilian life. Not all career military are lifers. Someone who is career is respected because they stay in because they like it, whereas a lifer hates being in the military but is too scared they will end up sleeping in their car if they get out (which sometimes happens). A lifer is basicly serving a self-imposed life sentence in the military. Lifers will kiss every ass above them in the chain of command and will try to make everyone else around them as miserable as they are.

              A person whose sole purpose in life is to succeed at their minimum wage job. They often will be two-faced in that they will be nice to your face and then backstab you to others in order to advance their friendly relationship with their boss. Lifers will often get upset over trivial things that are work related and rarely have good things to say about employees who do not plan on becoming lifers. Lifers will commonly be attracted romantically to lifers of the opposite sex at the workplace. They will spend an unbelievable amount of time outside of work with this person under the guise that they are just friends. When faced with the opportunity to do something that will make their life better (i.e. pursue higher education)or pick up extra hours at their work, lifers will consistently do the latter. Lifers also have a unrealistic belief that their job is better than it really is. Because of this lifers will typically talk about their job even when no one is interested. Their is no proven scientific research regarding why lifers feel thier job is so important, but scientist believe it is because lifers are typically substance abusers that lack a sense of reason.

                Lifers are characteristically unhappy unless they are presenting a knife-hand to your face. They use this action in conjunction with a verbal reprimand for extremely minor infractions of marine corps regulations. They believe this is the proper way to enforce such regulations and take sadistic pleasure every chance they get to exercise this practice, commonly referred to as lifing. Lifers are typically sergeants or above but can also be found in lower ranks. Lifers, ironically but understandably, have no life.

                  A [classification] for the most [perfect woman] youve ever seen. The term comes from the belief that if you land such a woman and she decides to end your relationship for any reason, you must subsequently end your own life. The reason being that you would never be so lucky to land another such woman so anyone else would be a [downgrade].

                  It should be noted that this is an exaggerated term and you should never kill yourself if a girl breaks up with you. Idiot.
