A flying vehicle. It is often a type of dirigible, such as a blimp.
A ship that flies.
They can be found in some role-playing games such as Final Fantasy, and are flying vehicles that seem to use a combination of aerodynamic principles and magic.

I was very excited when I first acquired the Airship in Final Fantasy 1, it made my travels much easier and more fun. The airship travels at four times walking speed across the world map. That seemed very fast to me at the time.

Part of the empennage of an airplane.
The horizontal tail surface that controls the pitch of an airplane. The elevator makes the nose go up and down. Negative lift on the elevator surface balences the weight of the engine up front.

When I pull back on the stick, the elevator at the tail of the plane goes up. The wind flowing over the tail forces the nose up, and I climb into the sky.

All the above is true. Operationally, a stall happens when you slow the airplane down and increase the angle of attack over the wing so it is no longer producing lift. Student pilots practice doing them so they know how to get out.
It is not particularly dangerous to do stalls if you are careful about it, but I find them to be rather uncomfortable. There is a possibility of going into a spin if the pilot doesn't pay attention. But that, too, can be recovered from.

The other day I did a power-off stall. I slowed the airplane down, applied full flaps, then reduced power. I raised the nose untill it buffeted, then the wing lost lift and the nose dipped. I lowered the nose some more and applied full power and flew away.

Addendum to my previous definition of schnoodle:
More precisely, a schnoodle is two guys sharing one foreskin in an erotic manner. Head to head. Ya dig?

To just say something but not actually do it. To pretend that you believe a certain thing but not practice that belief.
The company pays lip service to equal rights, but has only one woman working for them and she's underpaid.
