A badass nickname American sailors used to refer to the Japanese "Kamikaze" ("divine wind") pilots or aircraft during the last-ditch days of Imperial Japan in the Pacific theatre of World War 2 when Kamikaze attacks were at their peak. I was watching a documentary just now and an old American veteran was talking and off-handedly used this expression. I'm surprised it's not on Urban Dictionary yet because it is awesome and should probably be somebody's band's name by now or something.
