It's what soldiers did in the Great War, to escape the hell | in the trenches. You don't usually die from a rifle bullet in the | foot, but it certainly takes you out of service for a long while. It | describes an act of desperation. Are you British perchance? Because at least around here (the southern USA), the connotation is Barney Fife and the implication is error by gross incompetence, either temporary or permanent.
