Encyclopedia > Flak (disambiguation)

The word flak can mean:-

  • Anti-aircraft gunfire, derived from the German Flugabwehrkanone, for "aircraft defense cannon", during World War II. See also 88 mm gun
  • criticism, as a metaphorical extension of the previous, e.g. "I'll have to take the flak for what that confounded reporter dug up."
  • As a component of German and Scandinavian area place names, flak and similar may mean "flat land": e.g. Flakfortet, Maasvlakte, Goeree-Overflakkee: compare English "flake".
