Gillette
A Gillette (as in the razor blade) was once a standard measurement tool for determining the strength of a ruby laser beam (used in the late '60's), until calorimiters were developed for energy measurement. If you could focus your laser output sufficiently to blow a hole through a double-edge Gillette razor blade, you were the proud owner of a One Gillette Laser. Gillette blades were found world-wide with standard thickness, so any researcher, anywhere, could compare apples to apples with other researchers for determining their own laser's power
digger
Affectionate term for the Australian combat soldier. The term originated during the Gallipoli Penisula campaign, where digging protective trenches was a comonplace activity.
STRAC
A 1970's era US military acronym, meaning: Strategic, Tough, and Ready Around the Clock. To be labeled "strac" was considered high praise.
"He was a strac trooper."
