. . . for my mind to wander off on a flashback to another lifetime.
I followed the "browse thesaurus" link for the first time at the Merriam-Webster site. For no particular reason, I then clicked on the letter "h," followed by the word "hairbreadth." And with that, my mind insisted on flashing back to the abbreviation "r.c.h.," which I hadn't thought of in decades.
But I was pretty surprised to see it included so (relatively) exhaustively in the Wikipedia entry for Hair's breadth. You'll be comforted to know that their discussion matches the relative explanation of the three unscientific terms as we understood them "back in the day" during my enlisted career.
