Smoke grenades often cost around US$40 compared to smoke bombs, which can often cost just a few cents. The phrase \"to smoke\", meaning to fake, bluff, or beat around the bush, comes from the military usage of smoke grenades to obscure and conceal movement;[citation needed] similarly, \"pop smoke\", derived from a common way of ordering the use of smoke grenades, is used as a slang term for quickly leaving a place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is in wonderful condition and retains nearly all of the original gray paint and white stenciling.
