[Growltigga]

"glassing" was used by both the British and American bomber command in WWII to describe the effect of the mass bombing attacks against German cities, not to be confused with the god-awful firebombing techniques used

my personal sci-fi favourite 'battle jargon' term is "vaping", as in "that ship got vaped" as in short for "vapourised" - I believe this came out of an excellent English comic I used to read called 2000AD (of Judge Dredd fame) and in particular, a story called "The Vacuumn Cleaners" about a bunch of spaceship fighter pilots - damn fine read...
