A sound a rifle makes when you try to fire it without a round in the chamber.

It's alright as a verbal abbreviation but in written form it loses usefullness.
Klik = 4 keystrokes km = 2 keystrokes Viper Out |

You'd hear someone at the battery CP say "get on the Lima Lima and tell the platoons that _____." But "Lima Lima" is 4 syllables and "land line" is only 2, so why use it? |

I suspect that "Lima Lima" must be used exclusively by people who are trying to sound "professional." I never once heard the land-line called that.

I think that was an army thing they are always trying to make up acronyms. We always referred to it as the "hooks" or gun loop/line. The TA-312 from the XO pit to the FDC was always the bat phone though. |

Note that the Japanese army used the term "crik" to refer to a kilometer, as in:
"You go 10 criks down load, past Ichy Ban, den light turn, nudda 2 criks to Wock n Woll Crub." |

Well, officers (no offense STLRN!), especially staff officers, and the NCOs who spent too much time around staff officers seemed to be the worst offenders LOL. At platoon level it was mostly referred to as just "the field phone." |

What I hated is that the Navy had to codify all the commonsense spoken abbreviations - the anal bastards - and mutate them into clumsy acronyms easily misheard on sound powered phones.
The Hi-pac became the HP air compressor. Easily confused with LP air compressor (the Low-pac). There are others, but it was a while ago. |

A "click" in the Corps is also a change in the amount of windage on the rifle.
"Go to 8/3 (eight- three), and the wind is picking up-- go three clicks left." |
