a combination of two military terms - a rack is a bed and stow is to put away or secure; together they mean put yourself to bed, to go to bed, or bedtime
Damn, it'salready 0245! It's time for rack stow cos' I gotta be up at 0630.
A commonly used technique in both film and television to shiftfocus from a foreground object to a background object by turning the the focal ring on a lens.
Examples of rack focus can be seen in almost any movie or tv show when the focus is shifted from one object--mostly people--to another. It is most often used dramatically.
A "rack" was a slang term for a motor-bike for older Australians. So, to go get "on-yer-bike" and go away upon a command you would be "racking off". To rack off is less rude, but alliterative, for another popular expression.
Hello mate, may i come to your party and dance the "Maroubra Stomp?"
No, mate, you may not. Rack Off.
In the military the rack is your bunk. To rack out or hit the rack is to go to bed for the purpose of sleeping. If you find it difficult to get out of bed through fatigue, laziness, illness, hangover, depression, or any of a number of other reasons, then the "rack Monster" has ahold of you.
"I know we were all going to see Tina the Cat Womantoday, but the Rack Monster had ahold of me and wouldn't let go."
