Radar
What does the D in R.A.D.A.R. stand for? If you're a true geek (and since I didn't know this until yesterday, I guess I'm not) you'll know what the entire acronym.
I found this one interesting because I didn't know the answer. Radar is so commonly used as a word that I never even thought it stood for something else.
Leave your answer or, if you want to post a question of your own, send me an e-mail. Look in the about section to find my e-mail address. If it's new, I'll post it soon.
Please don't leave spam or 'Awesome blog, come visit mine' messages. I'll delete them soon after.
I would guessed Doppler, but I looked it up and it's Detection. Apparently RADAR comes from 'RAdio Detection and RAnging'

ReplyDeleteandrew and karnov got it right.
Just like l.a.s.e.r. stands for something. ;)
