Above and beyond all the atmosphere...

Frag is a real slang word. I've heard people who have never heard of SR use
it. And if I recall right, it has a basis in Vietnam (rolling a frag grenade
into the liuetenant's tent).

And drek? At least in German, from a Yiddish base, it roughly means dirt.
But the kind of dirt pigs wallow in. Not that nice of a term.

So these terms DO have at least a tenous basis in reality.
