Autogyros

Aircraft that use an unpowered, freely rotating rotor (like a helicopter's) for lift and a conventional propeller for forward thrust. Unlike helicopters, the rotor isn't powered by an engine; it auto-rotates due to aerodynamic forces as the craft moves forward. This makes them mechanically simpler, more stable, and capable of very short takeoffs and landings, though they cannot hover. They are the quirky, efficient hybrids of fixed-wing planes and helicopters, often seen as utilitarian workhorses.

Autogyros Example: In Mad Max: Fury Road, the character Corpus Colossus scouts from a jury-rigged Autogyro. A real-world example is a forestry service using a rugged autogyro for low-speed aerial surveys of remote terrain, benefiting from its short runway needs and safety in case of engine failure.

"I would have liked to get a full night sleep, afford to eat lunch all week, and do yard work this last week, but I had an autocross on Sunday and I needed new tires."

autocross

also known as Solo II racing-- the SCCA brand name for autocross competition. Solo II events are driving skill contests that emphasize the driver's ability and the car's handling characteristics. This is accomplished by driving a course that is designated by traffic cones on a low hazard location, such as a parking lot or inactive airstrip.

Autocross is the true grassroots motorsport.

autocross

an efficient and highly addictive legal function used for (1) drastically reducing the tread life of a set of tires, (2) mercilessly destroying orange cones and (3) ruining a vehicle's alignment.

I had a blast shredding a set of economy radials in 8 runs at last week's autocross.

autogynophile

The vast majority of (roughly 85%) male-to-female transgenders. This is basically a straight biological male with an intense lesbian porn addiction who masturbates in drag while imagining himself as a woman having lesbian sex. Some of them have moved their fetish out of the privacy of their homes to the public claiming to be actual women and demand access to female restrooms.

This is to be distinguised from a transwoman who was formerly an effeminate gay man and identifies as a straight woman.

A trans lesbian is nothing more than an autogynophile.
