Explanation:
הייתי עסוק מדי באותו יום מכדי לענות.
טיל(פצצה, פגז וכדו') שלא התפוצץ עם הפגיעה במטרה. הבריטים מכנים אותו גם בשם
Blind
בצה"ל מכנים בשם נפל חיילים שהורחקו מקורס בגלל אי-התאמה. זו שגיאה והשם הנכון לעניין זה הוא מפל. היה לי חבר בטירונות שהחבר'ה קראו לו "נפל גיבוש קופים". נזכרתי עכשיו בנשכחות.
