Could be the reason so many guys know it, but it's another term with military connections. I was aware of it from military sci fi before I ever encountered it in a gaming context.
- _tom_ 5y agoIt's used in the Star Trek TOS episode "Shore Leave". That's where I learned it. Long predates most video games and military sci-fi.
- NikolaNovak 5y agoOh for sure. It's possible I've learned it from WW2 movies or stories initially. Today though, it's such an inherent concept in video games, I feel it brings it from a abstract concept to a more practical reality.
