An engine is a block or piece of metal which can produce forces such as thrust, rotation or other forces. There are different types of engines: vehicle engines (such as for cars), aircraft engines, naval engines and rocket engines.
Engines mainly work by compressing a gas, such as oxygen or hydrogen, and fuel, into a highly flammable mix, then detonating it, which in turn creates two things: thrust and waste gas. The thrusting force can be used to turn a piston or can be directly ejected and power a vehicle forward.
Vehicle engines can come in different types: in-line/straight (meaning the pistons are in a single row), V-shape (where the pistons are in two rows, at roughly 30 degrees), or W-shape (where there are 4 rows in the shape of a W).

The objective of which can become the outcome of segmenting these groups, so that the creators of these words, can control the narrative and outcomes in the broader more mainstream media.
These outcomes, furthermore lead to a complete new subset of commercial opportunities being borne out this, companies, advertising and support groups.

Get the Linguistic engineering mug.When something breaks so you use the things you found in your garage to fix it.
Examples
1. Black car paint fading or scratched? Use black duct tape.
2. Did you just hit your fender and it's now falling off? Rip tie it on.
3. You don't have a lock for your locker? Use a Bobby pin.
