baka bomb
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: baka bombs

Coined within the United States Navy during the Pacific Theater of World War 2, in reference to the fact that the Ohka had been specifically designed to carry out kamikaze attacks, the belief that these attacks were a counterproductive military strategy for Imperial Japan, and the common assumption that kamikaze pilots were mindless zealots.
