Most of the zoomies in the audience are clean-shaven office poges who never go into the field.
Zoomie means: A graduate of, or student at, the United States Air Force Academy, USAFA.. It is military jargon and mostly appears in service contexts, war fiction, or among veterans and their families. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.
zoomie means: A graduate of, or student at, the United States Air Force Academy, USAFA.. Register: informal, military jargon. Suitable only for casual conversation, chat and social media. Do not use in business, academic or news writing. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself.

Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.

(military slang) A flight suit.
Military slang for a flight suit — the full-body garment worn by jet pilots, astronauts, and aircrew. The nickname plays on the idea of zooming through the sky at high speed, and 'bag' is a casual way to refer to a loose-fitting, one-piece garment. It's the kind of irreverent nickname that develops naturally in military culture, where aviators rarely miss a chance to make their own equipment sound either cooler or more ridiculous than it is.
(US, _, military slang, WWI, _, –, _, WWII) Sexual intercourse.
