Nickname given to the Curtiss SB2C Helldiver, an American Carrier-based Dive Bomber of World War II. Earned its nickname form frustrated pilots who found its handling characteristics very undesireable. Despite the fact that the Helldiver was better armed and armored, most U.S Navy dive bomber pilots prefered the Helldiver's predecessor, the Dauntless.

Name given to the person who is in charge of the world's largest radio trivia contest held every spring in Stevens Point, WI. The Oz writes the questions, enforces the rules, has the power to make any changes in the rules at any time during the contest, rules on complaints about particular questions, and is a really, really cool wordfrood/word.
What the fuck? We have a fucking book source saying otherwise! Remind me to call Oz on the compliant line about that question
