lox; gox. There is, in addition to the illustrious lox (from the Scandinavian lax, salmon) of bagel and lox fame, a word lox used in space research terminology. Lox here means liquid oxy- gen, the term used in lox tank, lox unit, etc., and as a verb meaning to load the tanks of a rocket vehicle with liquid oxy- gen. This lox came into use in the 1960s and is the antonym of gox, gaseous oxygen. |
