daisy-cutter

Ball skimming grass

A daisy-cutter is a ball in cricket or baseball that skims along the ground rather than bouncing—low enough to cut daisies.

In military use, a daisy-cutter is a powerful bomb designed to detonate just above ground level, clearing vegetation and creating landing zones: They dropped daisy-cutters to flatten the jungle.
