Exocet?

whitetrash · 2001-08-18 19:04:00

so what does the word "exocet" mean then? i need to buy a bigger dictionary :P The present is indefinite, the future has no reality other than as a present hope, the past has no reality other than as a present memory.

AFAIK it's a type of french air to surface missile.

They were in the news a lot during the Falklands war, as the Argentinians were busy firing them at the English.

Don't know if it means anything else. The merriam-webster online dictionary doesn't know anything about it, and my real dictionary is it at home.

I think it means "COP THIS ENGLISH IMPERIALIST PIG" or something to that effect. French sell them in 6 packs.
