doughboy, noun
Soldiers found particularly in World War I, however the name originates from the Mexican-American War of 1846. The term lost popularity after World War II due to the acceptance of other terms such as G.I., troop, and dogface.
That doughboy is a fine piece of meat.

Joe: Oh, fair to middling. I can walk to work now again, but can't quite run. I never run anyway.
