Summary: 

I remember looking it up once and found it in Webster's.  It was short and
not terribly informative.  All I can remember now is "Nimrod - son of Ham".
Also, the British had a twin-engined bomber in WWII that was called a
Nimrod.  It was shot out of the air almost as often as it took off.
Some useless trivia from the fingers of:
