Bathtub Motor

A poorly engineered thing; particularly one that is over-complicated, with excess and unnecessary parts. The term comes from a Heinlein quote/novel.

"If one is building an electric motor, one uses only the parts needed to do so. You would not, for instance, add a bathtub simply because one was available."
"Why does this thing even have one of those?"
"It's a bathtub motor."

purr motor

When your cat makes a low-pitched rumbling sound that is (mostly) quiet but you can feel the kitty’s body vibrating

This has several evolutionary advantages:

1) the frequency at which cats purr promotes healing

2) kittens use this to get their mom to settle down and nurse

3) a rather high pitched purr (this evolved with domestication) can coax an owner into giving the cat an extra snack, or hairball gel.
Josh: Mittens has the loudest purr motor
Steve: I know. Bear’s purr motor got quiet as he grew up. Sometimes his purrs are really hard to ignore. But no matter how hard he purrs I still have to work.
