The missile

The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.
In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was.
The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

In any given moment of time, the missile most likely knows which of the following?

A) Where it is
B) Where it isn't
C) Where it was
D) Where it wasn't

drift missile

A car used for drifting that is nonetheless a piece of scrap metal. It provides a foundation for learning/practicing the art of drifting. More or less, a car to fuck shit up without having to worry about it breaking.

Dude are you taking the 2j to track today?
No man I'm bringing the drift missile to work on my angle.

milk missiles 

Slang for a woman's breasts.

Her huge milk missiles were pointed at me and I just had to stare.

Missile car 

Ratty, cheap cars (usually of Japanese origin) built primarily for drifting. They are often made using spare parts or whatever is lying about on the workshop floor at the time.

Cars are built to be thrashed and beaten about, hence the cheapness of parts and production.

Formula Drift driver Ryan Tuerck owns a Nissan 240SX missile car.

Fur Missile 

A police K9 teaching idiots not to run, one bite at a time.

The fur missile was launched when the suspect ran.

Piss Missile 

In sports, whether it be baseball/football/hockey what have you, when someone crushes a homer, launches a 60 yard touchdown pass or nets a goal from the blue line on a one timer. Anything that gets an absolute fucking SEND in sports.
