Definitions<\/h3>\n

Nuke (noun):<\/strong> Abbreviation for a \u201cnuclear weapon\u201d, usually a bomb or missile.<\/p>\n

To nuke (verb)<\/strong>\u00a0: To detonate a nuclear weapon. Ex: We should probably nuke them before they nuke us.<\/p>\n

A Brief History of \u201cClub\u00a0Nuke\u201d<\/h3>\n

Roosevelt launches the club in 1945. Stalin joins in 49, Churchill in 52, a fashionably-late De Gaulle in 60. Mao pops by in 64.<\/p>\n

In the 70s, India, Pakistan, and Israel show up without an invite. Now North Korea wants in, and they say they\u2019ve got nukes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nuclear Nonsense<\/h3>\n

The result of a nuclear explosion is called a mushroom cloud<\/strong><\/a>. It is neither a mushroom nor a cloud.<\/p>\n

War games<\/strong> simulate the dangers of nuclear attacks, in a way that\u2019s fun for the entire family.<\/p>\n

Nuclear Nuggets<\/h3>\n

To nuke<\/strong> is also a slang term for using a microwave. Nuking a frozen burrito is a 5-star meal in the US.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t confuse nukes with puke<\/strong> (vomit), flukes<\/strong> (whale fins) or spooks<\/strong> (ghosts). Nuclear war will likely result in all 3.<\/p>\n
