michael Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 What is a "click"? (apart from the obvious noise etc) I've seen this written a number of times on here and elsewhere in the same context, usually when someone is expressing a view that others don't share. Example from today: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showpost.php?p=2246919&postcount=4 I've always considered this to be a "clique" - is there a "click" as well?

michael Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 It is clique written by people who can't spell Ah, that's OK then, it's just that so many people on various forums seemed to be doing it that I began to think it was right. *wipes brow* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Ah, that's OK then, it's just that so many people on various forums seemed to be doing it that I began to thing it was right. *wipes brow* I made the mistake of doing it here and was corrected It isn't because i can't spell as mentioned above. I didn't know the correct word in order to use it originally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt k Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 There is no such thing as click or clicky, it's people mispronouncing clique. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Click is a military term meaning one minute of arc when adjusting the sighting system on a weapon such as a rifle. Didn't know we had so many snipers on the forum Its also probably the last noise you hear when you forgot to load your weapon and really need it HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kranz Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Does it also mean one kilometer? as in we're heading 10 clicks North? Yes, when spelt with a K.
