I assume you mean C rations. In cans, mostly.
The letter "C" doesn't actually stand for anything. Fresh food was given an "A" nomenclature (A-ration). Packaged but unprepared food was given a "B" nomenclauture (B-ration). C-rations designated prepackaged, prepared foods which were ready for consumption upon opening. The survival rations were given a "D" or "K" nomenclature.
It can refer to several things. A Texas toothpick can refer to a knife, often a large hunting knife but can also be a small 3 inch blade pocket knife. In the culinary world a Texas toothpick is a deep fried, battered or breaded jalapeno spear. These hot bites are lovingly referred to as Texas toothpicks.
Well, i dont know why it was a toothpick, people i know dream that with things like daggers or swords but i know what the dream means. They fancy their best friends girlfriend but know they don't have a chance with her.
I think you mean Old Hickory. The person with that nickname was Andrew Jackson, the seventh President of the United States.
