A form of communication used by a JTAC (Joint Terminal Attack Controller) in the military to get Close Air Support onto a target. Not like the stupid "We need air support!" bullshit in movies. Each "Line" is a statement of brevity that represents information given to the pilot. 1st line is IP/BP to target, etc.
the 9 line is passed off to the pilot, who then reads back lines 4, 6, and 8. After that, the JTAC will pass on additional info or remarks, before a "Talk on" (basically the JTAC and pilot communicating to ensure that they are on target) Following the talk on the pilot makes their "IN" call before being cleared hot to drop ordnance. Then, boom. Shit blows up I guess.

Get the jazz linesmug. A meme made about the comic "Loss" by Tim Buckley. It was incredibly depressing compared to his other works, depicting the story of a miscarriage. The people in the comic are commonly drawn as lines in the meme form.

Get the Symmetric Linemug. The designation given to any incredibly overpaid baseball player who, in the middle of the contract, suddenly cannot hit over .150. Named for Chris Davis, Baltimore Orioles first baseman, who signed a $161 million contract over seven years. See Mendoza Line.
"Wow, that guy can really hit! We gotta sign him."
"Dude, that guy has more holes in his swing than a zebra has stripes. Two years from now he'll be struggling to reach the Davis Line."
