in the stall

An updated term for "in the closet" thanks to Idaho Senator Larry Craig.
This is either a closeted homosexual or closeted bi-curious, typically religious and/or Republican living in denial.

girl 2: "Hells ya, but I've heard he's in the stall...in the stall to get some ball."

stall

To stop agressive speech/behavior toward an individual. Usually when such behavior is considered unjustified or questionable, "stall" is used as a request for the agressor to calm down the rash behavior.

"Stall him out, it's cool."

stall

All the above is true. Operationally, a stall happens when you slow the airplane down and increase the angle of attack over the wing so it is no longer producing lift. Student pilots practice doing them so they know how to get out.

It is not particularly dangerous to do stalls if you are careful about it, but I find them to be rather uncomfortable. There is a possibility of going into a spin if the pilot doesn't pay attention. But that, too, can be recovered from.

The other day I did a power-off stall. I slowed the airplane down, applied full flaps, then reduced power. I raised the nose untill it buffeted, then the wing lost lift and the nose dipped. I lowered the nose some more and applied full power and flew away.

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.
