Ground-pounder slang for a fast jet — F-16s, F/A-18s, anything that screams in low and fast for close air support. Born in Vietnam when grunts on the ground needed a quick way to distinguish jets from the slow movers (props) and helos overhead.

“Called in a couple of fast movers and the treeline went quiet real quick.”
