The made-up german word for anti-aircraft weapons, a contraction of FLugzueg Abwehr Kanone... just for the edification of those of you who didn't know where the term comes from. A "flack" jacket is the suit-coat worn by a PR guy... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/08/and_now_for_something_a_little_different.html#comment-48794 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/08/and_now_for_something_a_little_different.html#comment-48794 Wed, 09 Aug 2006 09:30:26 -0600 Well, DUH.
