Military slang "pickle"…where did it come from?
In many books and movies, I've heard the term "pickle" used to refer to the act of dropping a bomb from an aircraft, physically releasing it, or also the switch allowing the pilot to do it. For example, in the movie "Top Gun", the "pickle" would be the selector switch between missiles and guns. The trigger is just the trigger.

PICKLE = WEAPON RELEASE = DROP THE FUCKING BOMB
The weapon release switch (also called the "PICKLE" button) is used to fire missiles, drop bombs, and jettison stores. The exact switch usage to release the weapon depends on which weapon is being used.
