Kilerg ?
Kilerg (kil(l)er +g)
Question Author
THANKUOU BOTH, NEVER HEARD THAT WORD BEFORE
The erg is an outdated unit of work which we don't use in Physics any more. A Kilerg is a thousand ergs. The old Centimetre/Gram/Second system (CGS), in which the erg was the unit of work, was replaced by the much simpler Systeme Internationale (SI) units. I notice that ERG crops up in quite a lot of crosswords.
I remember Erg, from my O Level Physics...
O-level Physics, Boxtop? That dates you!!
We have MEGERG, meaning quantity of work. But if someone else can work out the wordplay, please do!
Decisive fact =killer -l +g =Kilerg( a unit of work = to 1000 ergs)
