ICBM address

( n.)

   (Also  missile  address)  The  form  used to register a site with the
   Usenet  mapping  project,  back before the day of pervasive Internet,
   included   a   blank   for  longitude  and  latitude,  preferably  to
   seconds-of-arc  accuracy.  This  was  actually  used  for  generating
   geographically-correct maps of Usenet links on a plotter; however, it
   became  traditional to refer to this as one's ICBM address or missile
   address,  and  some  people include it in their {sig block} with that
   name. (A real missile address would include target elevation.)
