Flight Instructor

A career or part time job that involves watching the Hobbs meter tick while spending unusual, long, and demanding hours in the cheapest, stripped down, mechanically unsound aluminum can all for the goal of displaying the magic of rote learning to a student. Sometimes the aluminum can is also known as being airworthy, but that is a made up word the mechanics will use to comply with the legal mumbo jumbo and is hardly ever true. The majority of the instruction is given in the busiest airspace with little to no safe guarding; such as reliable radios, transponders, or even the most basic necessity-transparencies you can actually see out of. The students, the prime income of a flight instructor, are stubborn, top-gun wanna be pilots that no matter how ever you try to persuade differently about the aircraft only having one 100HP engine, will still rotate the nose to fifty degrees on takeoff, that is if they even bother to show up for the lesson from being to (insert bullshit excuse here).

I think I will work three other jobs to pay for my one flight instructor career.

Flightline

The most terrible place in the known universe. It is a dark place, a depressing place, and the maintainers that work there are in a permanent state of dismay and suffering. It is prowled by QA Inspectors who have long since gone feral, and have developed a taste for Crew Chiefs and other maintenance personnel caught without reflective belts after the floodlights have turned on, despite the sun still shining. Expediters and Pro Supers also number amongst the flightline's known predators, their terrible calls and screams making every maintainer shudder and wish they were already dead. The only bright spot amongst this hellhole is a shining hope of being able to cross-train... but alas, she is an elusive beast, and nigh on impossible to catch.

"Where is SSgt Jones?"
"He's on the flightline, working that flier."
"... God help his soul."

Portuguese Knife fight

Popularized by “Cage the elephant” in reference to the knife technique women from the Azores learn at a young age said to be able to kill under eight seconds and practiced on pigs.

“Don’t mess with Fatima, she knows how to Portuguese knife fight.”

Fight Club Syndrome

When after watching the movie fight club, you begin to question whether your best friend is a real person, or an alter ego your mind has sub-conscientiously created.

Joe: (walks in) hey man, wanna play some Madden?
Dan: (points gun at himself)
Joe: Uh.. Dan.. why are you holding a gun to your head?
Dan: Not my head Joe, OUR head.
Joe: Uh-oh, Fight club syndrome.

them's fightin' words

An old-time expression interjected after one is on the receiving end of a harsh criticism. A fight will usually occur as a result.

Northerner: You're a dumbass from the south, and so is your slave beating mother.
Southerner: (draws gun) Them's fightin' words!
