ground zero - the point of detonation (or above or below) of a nuclear weapon. point - the precise location of something; a spatially limited location; she walked to a point where she could survey the whole street.
The point directly above, below, or at which a nuclear explosion occurs (Merriam-Webster). Recently thanks to a load of rhetoric from our idiot newscasters, the meaning has been horribly trivialized. Hiroshima (80,000 deaths from the explosion + additional 60,000 deaths from radiation poisoning) is a ground zero. Nagasaki (120,000 deaths total) is a ground zero. The World Trade Center (2749 deaths) is NOT a ground zero. So stop calling it that. IDIOT: My uncle visited ground zero.
