Zook

The action of shooting down an enemy aircraft with an unguided rocket.

History: The term ‘Zook’ is derived from ‘Bazooka’ - an unguided rocket launcher in ‘Battlefield 1942’. In that game, infantry only had one option to kill planes - the unguided rocket launchers, as there were no lock-on missiles in World War II. There are many variations of the Zook, such as Rendezook, Loopzook, Bailzook, Rodeozook, Podzook, Surfzook, and more.

Squadmate: “This Jet is becoming a massive problem! He needs to be downed!”
You: “No problem, I’ll try to Zook him.”

Rendezook

The action of ejecting from your plane, shooting down an enemy aircraft with an unguided rocket, then performing a rendezvous with your aircraft.

History: ‘Rendezook’ is a combination of Rendezvous and ‘Zook’. Zook referring to the unguided rocket kill on the enemy aircraft, and Rendezvous referring to the re-entry of your airplane. Rendezook was invented by an American YouTuber by the name of Stun_gravy.

Rendezook is often misused as the name of the creator (Stun_gravy).

Guy 1: “Did you see the new Battlefield Trailer? That jet scene was so epic!”
Guy 2: “Yeah it was! I can’t believe they actually put the Rendezook in the trailer!”
