daisy cutter
Ball hugging grass
A daisy cutter is a ball in cricket or baseball that skims along the ground—low enough to cut daisies.
In military use, a daisy cutter is a bomb designed to detonate just above ground level, clearing vegetation and creating helicopter landing zones: They dropped a daisy cutter to flatten the jungle.
