*and yes "poop" is the technical term that mechanics use to describe a bad engine*
I though it was "pop" or it took a dump as the more technical terms...

I know as a subsea engineer we use the term, "XXXX took a Shxt," though we don't actually write it up that way... it's used to describe an event in phone conversations all the time... crude, but effective...
