I know what the word briefly means, but just not what exactly they mean when it is used at the end of a crossword puzzle clue preceded by a comma. As used in the clue “Desert Storm grub, briefly” I have seen it used a few times in crossword puzzles. I think the answer to this one is “MRE” (Meal Ready to Eat), which leads me to believe that it’s asking for an abbreviation, but I’m just not sure.
