Fire in the hole

Fire in the hole

Fire in the hole est une expression anglaise utilisée aux États-Unis pour avertir de l'imminence d'une détonation explosive dans un espace confiné. Cette phrase, qui signifie littéralement « Feu dans le trou », proviendrait des mineurs, qui devaient prévenir leurs camarades lorsqu'une charge explosive avait été installée[1].

Cette phrase est souvent utilisée dans les jeux vidéo comme Left 4 Dead, Battlefield 2, Call of Duty, Counter-Strike et d'autres.
