Pop Quiz

I know a moron who was so bored that he tasked me to find the meanings of the following terms linked to aviation (questionable for Qn 10) and WWII as a Pop Quiz. So whilst listening in on a boring meeting, I managed to scrounge my shallow depths of knowledge and googled the rest:


1) Wilco - Will comply / Will Co-operate

2) Pancake - Code for Operation to destroy enemy forces’ supplies and equipment in bologna, italy area in December 1944

3) Servicable - Service area; Area in which the administrative services of a major military organization, such as an army or an air force are located

4) Scratch - n. Money

5) Ack – Ack - “Ack” stood for “A”. Ack-Ack stands for antiaircraft gun also, and especially antiaircraft fire.

6) Meatball - The glidescope light that pilots watch when they’re trapping.
Option 2: What is left of the moron who gave me this quiz!)

7) Buster - Maximum emergency power
(wanna tell me what ballbuster means??)

8) Zeke - Mitsubishi A6M Reisen (zero) IJNAF fighter

9) Wizard - Really first class, superlative, attractive, ingenuous (awww. thanks!)
Wizard (Kite) - RAF’s definition to mean “great airplane”

10) Scuttlebutt - A butt was a barrel. Scuttle meant to chop a hole in something. The
scuttlebutt was a water barrel with a hole cut into it so that sailors could
reach in and dip out drinking water. The scuttlebutt was the place where
the ship's gossip was exchanged. HELLO! This is a naval term!

*waits for silence and then thunderous applause as well as promised prize for doing quiz*
