A rifle is a type of gun designed for shooting bullets at a long distance. It has a long barrel with spiral grooves inside, called rifling, which makes the bullet spin as it travels, improving accuracy. Rifles are used for different purposes, like hunting, target shooting, and by the military or police. They come in different sizes and types depending on their use.

The idiom "AWOL" originated as a military acronym and stands for "Absent Without Leave." Its exact origin is uncertain, but it is believed to have emerged in the early 19th century within military contexts. The acronym was used to describe the act of a soldier leaving their military duty without proper permission or authorization. It is commonly employed to denote unauthorized absences, desertions, or failures to report for duty within the military hierarchy.

The use of "roger" as an interjection has its origin in radio communication and military jargon where it is used to acknowledge that a message has been received and understood. In more casual and everyday language, the use of "roger" has extended beyond its original radio communication context. It is sometimes used informally as a way of expressing agreement or acknowledgment in a similar manner to saying "got it" or "acknowledged."

What is the origin and context of use of 'roger'?
