gore
a unit of angular measure. 1 gore = 2 π radians, one revolution measured from straight up. In other words, fractional revolutions left of centre. Straight up is what mathematicians call π/2 or 90 degrees = 0 gore. 180 degrees or what mathematicians call π radians = .25 gore.

1 gore = 1 revolution
