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?

Old fashioned aviators wear leather helmets and flight jackets and silk scarves and goggles. New fashioned ones fly Beechcraft Bonanzas while sipping cappuccino. Both are just a leetle bit cooler than the average groundling.

To really whoop someone or give them trouble. To attack. If you really bust someone up and thoroughly kick their tailfeathers, you will have given them hell.
Since hell is a bad place full of suffering, to give someone hell is to create your own little part of it just for them.
It can also be a term for teasing or general razzing, ("he was really giving you hell at the party, wasn't he?") as well as winning in an athletic event. "We really gave that team hell."

If you are fighting a ferocious enemy, and want to charge up your troops, a good thing to shout would be "Give 'em hell!"
