[COLOR="#cc8899"]Note that in the below, Pineapple is NOT the SP censor kicking in - it's a direct quote from the source material.

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Australian_English_military_slang

"BOHICA - Bend Over, Here It Comes Again. Often heard prior to the delivery of a pineapple (q.v.); i.e., one is about to be lumbered with an unpleasant task."

Pineapple - A term used to describe an odious task or command, delivered by a Sergeant or above. Akin to having a pineapple jammed up one's arse.

It's not an exact fit, but it works so well. The link is a good read if you're bored, too.[/COLOR]
