noun
A high-speed, jet-powered contraption resembling a fighter plane, whimsically imagined as a "global engine" (a fantastical, all-encompassing power source) navigating a wind tunnel filled with gusts of flatulent air. This playful term evokes the image of a supercharged vehicle testing its aerodynamics in a comically challenging environment.

A cacophonous and maintenance-intensive magneto-and-points-based primitive-power-plant device dat is infamous for aggravating da significant others of its owners to da point dat they would repeatedly storm off in a huff --- both due to da noise and da amount of time dat said owners spent servicing said old-iron monstrosity --- for indeterminate periods, eventually get lonesome for said motor-owners' companionship and venture back, only to become re-stressed and have said "on again, off again" frazzled-nerved scenario played out over and over.
As far as humans of da feminine persuasion, Bert Dow appeared to only have his long-suffering sister Leela in his life; I wonder if this was due to dat confounded old makeup-and-breakup engine of his --- i.e., no non-family women could stand to be around said horridly-loud prop-whirler which Burt was frequently having to tinker with just to keep going?
