ramp

At an airport, a ramp is a place where aircraft are parked. It is a large flat concrete or asphalt area, that usually has places to tie down planes.

See ramp rat.
I landed at Olympia Regional Airport in my cessna, taxied on to the ramp, tied my plane down, and winked at the cute fueller who brought the fuel truck.

rotor-head

A derogatory term for a helicopter pilot.

Usually referring to the sort of helicopter pilot that ties up the radio because HE can hover and thus has all the time in the world, or who flies way too low over populated areas because he CAN.

Note: not all helicopter pilots are like this. But the ones that are, get called rotor-heads.
Will that rotor-head please quit hogging the radio so I can make my position report before I bust class D airspace?

gay marriage

Two people of the same sex promising fidelity and love to each other.

In response to some of the other arugments: If people who can't procreate naturally (such as a gay couple) shouldn't get married, than neither should straight couples who are for some reason infertile. There are plenty of heterosexual marriages that don't produce offspring; this is accepted, and so should be gay marriage.

In the end, it is only between the two people who love each other.
Gay marriage is an issue that needs to be thought about in today's society.
