English name of one of Chun-Li's 'special attacks' (a character from the videogame Street Fighter).
Basically she does a handstand, does the splits upside down, and spins like helicopter blades from one side of the game screen to the other in midair close to the ground. If the opponent is in the way and not blocking, they get hit several times and suffer damage!
In another game, Capcom gave her a similar move that caused her to rise up in the air at an angle as she spun around to stop midair attacks by opponents.
P.S. In one of the later games in the Street Fighter franchise, Capcom gave her a kick-based 'Raging Demon' attack (see Akuma) that looks cool on the screen (like a ukyo-e drawing) but I don't know what it's called in Japanese (or English).

Get the Snow Bird mug.To Kill a Mocking Bird is classic written by Harper Lee. It's a Coming-of-age story filled with drama. Its purpose is to show the world the injustice of prejudice by putting it in the eyes of a child.
Summary:
--Scout, Jem, and Dill become fascinated with their mysterious neighbor Boo Radley and have an escalating series of encounters with him. Meanwhile, Atticus is assigned to defend a black man, Tom Robinson against the spurious rape charges Bob Ewell has brought against him. Watching the trial, Scout, and especially Jem, cannot understand how a jury could possibly convict Tom Robinson based on the Ewells’ clearly fabricated story. Despite Atticus’s capable and impassioned defense, the jury finds Tom Robinson guilty. The verdict forces Scout and Jem to confront the fact that the morals Atticus has taught them cannot always be reconciled with the reality of the world and the evils of human nature. When word spreads that Tom Robinson has been shot while trying to escape from prison, Jem struggles to come to terms with the injustice of the trial and of Tom Robinson’s fate. After making a variety of threats against Atticus and others connected with the trial, Bob Ewell assaults Scout and Jem as they walk home one night, but Boo Radley saves the children and fatally stabs Ewell. The sheriff, knowing that Boo, like Tom Robinson, would be misunderstood and likely convicted in a trial, protects Boo by saying that Ewell tripped and fell on his own knife. After sitting and talking with Scout briefly, Boo retreats into his house, and Scout never sees him again.
