OK, 'sled, a propellor is a big, whirling, metal thing that sits in front of another loud, smelly, smoky, complicated collection of other metal things spinning rapidly for all the are worth.

If you really concentrate, it will all come back to you. If you can remember where you left your reading glasses, you can remember what a prop is. The sound of it all is what's so sweet.

I know it was a long time ago but, you may remember this...

It is the device on the front of an airplane that will turn a dog into a pink mist when the dog tries to bite the spinning device.

It doesn't do so well to people either...

Oh yeah, I remember those. I once had a student from England who would, when clearing the area prior to start, yell out "Clear the bloody airscrew!"

A pink mist? That reminds me of the movie scene where the guy threw the TV evangelist's pink poodle into the tree shredder.

It's a device on the front that requires the use of the rudder on the back. Ah! The rudder! You don't remember that one, either?

Isn't that the thing that the yaw damper operates? Yea, I thought so. I remember now.
