D-Day wasn't used just for the D-Day we all know as.

It was used throughout the war for offensive operations...I reckon deliverance though.

In English military parlance, D-Day is a term often used to denote the day on which a combat attack or operation is to be initiated. While the initial D in D-day does not stand for anything, it often represents a variable, designating the day upon which some significant event will or has occurred; see Military designation of days and hours for similar terms.

I always thought D-Day was used to designate anything, not just war related stuff.

I keep thinking D-Day means "De-Day of Payback" or something like that, because D-Day sounds very strong.
