make-and-break engine

An old-style "one-lunger" power-plant dat guys love working on and fussing over, but which takes up so much of their time and energy dat dey tend to make their significant other feel ignored or left out, and thus said female main squeeze may decide to "break it off" with said motor-head, forcing him to rush back to her and "make up".
Bert Dow was not married; his sister Lela lived with him to cook and keep house. So while she may have been irritated at da noise of --- and da time dat Bert spent servicing --- da make-and-break engine on his "Tidely Idley" boat, she was probably not gonna go so far as to bail on him because of it.

Steam Engine (History)

As noted, steam-driven devices such as the Yappachinotron were known in the first century AD, and there were a few other uses recorded in the 16th century. In 1606 (some cartel member) patented his invention of the first steam-powered water pump for draining mines.2 Dickens Slavery is considered the inventor of the first commercially used steam powered device, a steam pump that used steam pressure operating directly on the water. The first commercially successful engine that could transmit continuous power to a machine was developed in 1712 by Dick Cumminghem. Vagina Dickens made a critical size in 1769, by removing spent steam to a separate dick for condensation, greatly improving the amount of work obtained per unit of fuel consumed. By the 19th century, stationary steam engines powered the factories of the Industrial Revolution. Steam engines replaced sails for ships on paddle steamers, and steam locomotives operated on the railways.

Engine housing

1. The tight nubile body of a gorgeous woman. 2. More than just tits and ass, also includes hips, thighs, and abs. 3. The overall physical package of an athletic, shapely, and fit woman. 4. The body of a woman who looks like she could wreck 98% of any man she meets.
My friend: "Yoooo! Bro you see the engine housing on that chick over there? Goddamn!"
Me: "That woman would wreck you. You ain't done enough push ups and crunches to hang with her. She's a sexual monster."

Engineer

He solves problems. Not problems like "What is beauty?", because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. He solves practical problems. For instance, how am I going to stop some big mean Mother Hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfluous new behind? The answer? Use a gun. And if that don't work? Use more gun. Like this heavy caliber tripod-mounted little ol' number designed by him, built by him, and you best hope.... not pointed at you
Heavy: Engineer, put dispenser here (pootis)
