airport

Airports are places where various aircraft take off and land from. There are big, busy airports, like O'Hare International, and there are small, quiet airports like where I am writing from, Olympia Regional.

Many airports have flight schools where you can learn to fly an airplane or a helicopter. Smaller airports have plenty of airport bums and ramp rats, which is a good thing since flying is fun to watch.

Sometimes airports will have museums, restaurants, and other fun activities.

I am happy because I found a job at the airport, renting out planes and answering phones.

When my dad saw the type of candy called "nibs," he called them "nubs" by mistake and thought they'd be a good name for someone.

groundling

Not really a derogatory term, but discriptive. Similar to groundhog.
