ICBM address n.

(Also `missile address') The form used to register a site with

the Usenet mapping project, back before the day of pervasive

Internet, included a blank for longitude and latitude, preferably

to seconds-of-arc accuracy. This was actually used for generating

geographically-correct maps of Usenet links on a plotter;

however, it became traditional to refer to this as one's `ICBM

address' or `missile address', and some people include it in

their sig block with that name.

(A real missile address would include target elevation.)
