SCUD
The first Gulf War prompted no moral discussion on the ethics of modern warfare. It did provide a sparkling new range of insults. Out went threatening to 'smack' someone and in came the terror-inducing 'I'll scud you in the eye', for example.

The 'exocet' shot was introduced to football, and everybody called Colin was re-christened Colon after Colon Powell.

Exocets were from the Falklands War, actually. I know this because I got a detention in 1981 for saying 'Ooh, HMS Sheffield' when a fellow pupil took a basketball full in the face and fell over.
