rotary engine

A type of internal combustion engine consisting of a triangular rotor which rotates in an eccentric orbital motion around a epitrochoid housing. Advantages of this design are a compact size, mechanical simplicity (a two rotor engine has only three moving parts), high potential power output proportional to size, lightweight, high-revving and extremely smooth in operation. Disadvantages include high rate of fuel and oil consumption, complex sealing arrangement and high seal count, weak torque, more fragile than a four-stroke piston engine, and lower long term reliability. Also known as a Wankel engine (pronounced 'Vonkel') after it's inventor, Dr Felix Wankel.
Mazda's RX-7 is probably the best example of a car employing a rotary engine.

Robtard

A Robtard is someone called Rob that does retarded things such as racing people across motorways!

Robtards are even more retarded than retards. They claim to only do stupid things because they look fun, "regardless of the stupidity or risk".

Robtards usually resemble giraffes. If a Robtard is found, please return it to Africa ASAP, preferably in a crate full of bird-eating spiders.

Warning - do not approach a Robtard. Failure to heed this warning may result in yourself ending up in a bush, pushed off a wall, poked to death, scared senseless, covered in hornets or just generally tortured. You have been warned.
