France

1) A Western European nation. Located slightly beneath Britain, in most or all senses.
2) Produces nice wine.
3) Produces nice cheese.
4) Produces shedloads of nuclear weapons, which are happily tested on small Pacific atolls home to endangered species of fish and pygmies.
5) The number one source of irritation for the rest of Europe. This manages to go unnoticed by many Americans, who assume the continent is a single amorphous blob.
6) Also the number one source of contention for the United States, having replaced the Soviet Union.
7) Has an annoying accent.
8) Dislikes British beef. This, as theory and experiment have shown, is due to France's argumentative and overly vegetarian wussiness and has nothing whatsoever to do with life-threatening brain disease.
9) Dislikes Germany, for invading it repeatedly and being German.
10) Dislikes Britain for constant warfare, political disagreement and out of habit.
11) Dislikes the United States for its competition in the 'irritating accents' league table and also for having more nuclear weapons and cheese than France.
12) Dislikes.... well, most things, actually.
13) Is a thoroughly splendid country.
14) Is filled with thoroughly un-splendid French people.

"Oh hell. France has blocked the channel tunnel again."

Evolutionist

-Doesn't actually exist. There is no such faction or mindset as an 'evolutionist', which has so far not prevented the more literal-minded creationists from leaping on the title.

Evolutionist. -A fine example of poor English topped off with a platform to stand on.

engineer

1) More useful to society than an insurance salesman.
2) More useful to the arms industry than a big bucket of grenades.
3) More likely to use statistics than 345% of the population.
4) Enjoys overcomplicating things.

The aerospace engineer is the guy in the plane who is whimpering quietly and looking worried.

Stall

A loss of lift over a lifting body, usually caused by separation of the flow from the upper surface of the lifting body/ aerofoil.

Common types of stall by flow separation include leading edge, trailing edge and thin aerofoil stalling.

The plan stalled, and fell wildly out of control.

Horseshoe vortex

The horseshoe vortex system is a simple vortex model for an aircraft or lifting body which fits a box-shaped vortex system out from the wing. This is made up of the wing vortex, trailing vortices (see trailing vortex) and starting vortex. The latter is a vortex formed due to changes in the vorticity of the wing vortex, i.e due to changes in airspeed.

I can't honestly think of a good example for you. Sorry
