(UK, military slang) The regular army, not including any special forces.
(UK, slang) A chaotic, poorly-managed group.
British slang shorthand for the Salvation Army, the well-known Christian charity organisation famous for its charity shops, soup kitchens, and brass bands. The nickname takes the formal name and gives it a friendly, informal spin — nobody in the UK actually says 'Salvation Army' in casual conversation. You'll hear it most when someone's donating old clothes or grabbing a bargain at one of their ubiquitous high-street shops. Completely affectionate in tone.
