  • (countable) A vehicle used for a suicide attack, especially an aircraft.
    "Coupled with this were issues involving actually getting enough torpedoes out there to the fleet in the first place! Whilst they were a munition, a torpedo is far more complex and took far longer to build than a shell for a naval gun, even a battleship shell. Torpedoes, remember, are effectively small self-guiding kamikaze submarines, and, so, unless you have a large factory and an extensive production line going, you're only gonna see handfuls produced each year."
  • (colloquial, countable) One who takes excessive risks, as for example in a sporting event.
  • (countable) A cocktail made of equal parts vodka, triple sec and lime juice.
    "Only top-shelf liquor is served, though Sasha refuses to serve drinks he deems fratlike. These include woo woos, kamikazes and shots of any kind."

  • (transitive) To destroy (a ship, etc.) in a suicide attack, especially by crashing an aircraft.
  • (intransitive) To carry out a suicide attack, especially by crashing an aircraft.
  • (intransitive, slang) To fail disastrously.
