: We had a discussion a while back of the derivation / history of the word SCUD with no solid clues at all as to the derivation except that Bob found it was probably a NATO thing and another theory on it being a Russian cloud.
: Anybody out there have anything to add?

I checked in a couple of my books acquired post-discussion and couldn't find anything new.
