It is thought to have originated in the late 1950s, as military slang. [Citation

As red hair is generally more coarse than other hues, the small measurement of a single cunt hair can be further refined by declaring the necessary amount to be either the red or blonde variety - an RCH thus being a slightly greater, but still very small, measure.

The acronym 'RCH' can be used on engineering documents without explicitly declaring its taboo meaning, thus making it an in joke.
